RECIPE BOOKLET

GriddlerTM Waffle Plates

CGR-WAFPC

For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.

7. Bake for approximately 3 minutes. For lighter waffles, bake for less time. For darker waffles, bake for more time. Medium-brown waffles, can be achieved by baking in between 3½ and 5 minutes. These are approximate times that may vary depending on the recipe ingredients used.

Note: During operation, the green indicator

light inside the Griddle dial will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal. The red indicator light inside the Selector dial will stay illuminated during operation.

8. Remove the waffles by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof spatula or tongs. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick coating.

9. When you are finished baking, turn the Selector dial to the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the Griddler

or Griddler Gourmet

to cool down for at least

30 minutes before handling.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the Selector dial to the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Leave the top cover of your Griddler

or Griddler GourmetTM open so the waffle plates begin to cool. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling.

Press the plate release buttons to remove waffle plates from the housing. The waffle plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning – the nonstick coating can be damaged.

The Griddler

or Griddler GourmetTM exterior surfaces can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.

STORAGE

The waffle plates can be stored in the GriddlerTM or Griddler Gourmet

or in a drawer or cabinet when

not in use.

NOTE: The CuisinartTM GriddlerTM Waffle Plates are designed to fit the GriddlerTM and Griddler GourmetTM models only.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your waffle plates. Be sure that both of your new waffle plates have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.

Before using your Cuisinart

GriddlerTM Waffle Plates for the first time, wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.

Note: The Cuisinart

GriddlerTM Waffle Plates have been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or flavourless vegetable oil. If using oil, apply oil with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the waffle plates.

Note: The Cuisinart

GriddlerTM Waffle Plates

are designed to fit Griddler

(CGR-4 Series) and

Griddler Gourmet

(GRID-8 Series) models only.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Place the closed GriddlerTM or Griddler GourmetTM on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.

To insert waffle plates

1. Adjust the Griddler

or Griddler GourmetTM to the flat position with the controls directly in front of you.

2. Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the unit.

3. Locate the metal brackets at the center of the lower housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the cutouts at the back of the plate with the metal brackets.

4. Slide the plate underneath the brackets and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place.

5. Insert the second plate into the upper housing as you did with the first plate.

To remove waffle plates

1. Once the Griddler

or Griddler GourmetTM

has cooled, adjust to the flat position.

2. Locate the plate release button on one side of the unit. Press firmly on button and plate will pop up slightly from the base.

3. Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets and lift it out of the base. Press on the other plate release button to remove the other waffle plate in the same manner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2. Turn the Selector dial to the left to choose the Griddle function. The red indicator light on the Selector dial will illuminate to signal that the power is on.

3. Set the Griddle dial to 400°F (200°C)

4. Allow the unit to heat up. When it has reached the selected temperature, the green indicator light will illuminate. You are now ready to begin.

Note: The first time you use your waffle plates

you may notice a slight odour or some smoke. This is normal and common for plates with a nonstick surface.

Gourmet

by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. The top cover will stay open in a 100° position until you lower it.
