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
Griddler® Waffle Plates
for the first time, wipe with a damp cloth to remove
any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note:
The Cuisinart® Griddler® Waffle Plates have
been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before
the first use, we suggest you season the grids with
cooking spray or flavorless 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® Griddler® Waffle Plates are
designed to fit Griddler
®
and Griddler Gourmet®
models only.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Place the closed Griddler® or Griddler Gourmet®
on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.
To insert waffle plates
1. Adjust the Griddler
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.

or Griddler Gourmet® to
To remove waffle plates

1. Once the Griddler
or Griddler Gourmet®
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.

release button to remove
the other waffle plate in

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:
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 odor or some smoke.
This is normal and common for plates with a
nonstick surface.
5. Lift top cover of the Griddler
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.
6. Pour enough batter onto the center of the
lower waffle grid to completely cover (about
1¼ cups). Use a heat-proof spatula to spread
batter evenly over the grid. Close the top cover.
The green light will turn off, but the red light will
stay illuminated.

or Griddler

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
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 Gourmet® 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 Gourmet® 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 Griddler® or
Griddler Gourmet
®
or in a drawer or cabinet when
WARRANTY
Limited One-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer
if you own Cuisinart
at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise
required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers
or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your
Cuisinart
workmanship under normal home use for 1 year from the date of original
purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast,
efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product
registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the
original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the
event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for
purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart
products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its
preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent
repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the
amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product.
If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the
®
consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent
or
repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable
cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund of nonconforming
products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their
preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair
or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center tollfree at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling of such nonconforming
products under warranty.

service other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does
not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other
