INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your waffle maker. Be sure that
all parts (listed above in Parts and Features) of
your new waffle maker 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
Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe housing and
baking plates with a damp cloth to remove any
dust from the warehouse or shipping.
NOTE: The Cuisinart
Maker has 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
maker.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the closed waffle maker on a clean, flat
surface where you intend to use it.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
3. Adjust the temperature knob to the desired
browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest color
waffles and setting #6 for the darkest color waffles. We recommend setting #4 or #5 for golden
brown waffles.
4. The red indicator light will turn on to signal that
the power is on and the unit will begin to heat.
We recommend preheating in the closed position.
When the waffle maker has reached desired
temperature, the green indicator light will turn
on and the audible tone will sound. You are now
ready to begin.
NOTE: The first time you use your waffle maker, it
may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This
is normal, and common to appliances with a
nonstick surface.
5. Lift lid of waffle maker by grasping the handle
and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay
open at a 105° position until you lower it.
NOTE: During baking, you may notice steam releasing from the sides, front and back of the waffle
maker. You may also notice the top cover rising
during baking. These are both normal occurrences
and are necessary for the crispy exterior and moist
interior of your waffles.
7. Baking time is determined by the browning level
that you chose in Step 3. It may take up to
6 minutes to bake your waffles on setting #6.
8. When the waffles are ready, the green light will
turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove
the waffles by gently loosening the edges with a
heat-proof plastic spatula or wooden spatula or
non-stick coated tongs. Never use metal utensils,
as they will damage the nonstick coating.
9. When you are finished baking, turn the temperature knob to OFF and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker to
cool down completely before handling.
CLEANING, CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished baking, remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave lid open so grids begin to
cool. Allow waffle maker to cool down completely
before handling.
Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.
Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb
any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth
or paper towel.
You may also clean the grids by wiping with a damp
cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or
oil buildup. Be certain grids have cooled
completely before cleaning. If batter adheres
to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto
the baked batter and let stand approximately
5 minutes, allowing it to soften for easy removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never
use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER
IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER
OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
6. Pour batter onto the center of the lower
waffle grid. We recommend using 1 heaping cup
of batter. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread
batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid.
The green light will turn off.
STORAGE
Store with cord wrapped
around the back of the unit.
For compact storage, stand
the unit on its back end with
control panel facing up.

TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
• Setting#1willproducethelightestcolorwaffles.
Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles.
Experiment to determine which setting produces
the best waffle color for you. We recommend
setting #4 or #5 for golden brown waffles.
• Werecommendusing1heapingcupofbatterto
fill the lower grid. Be careful not to over-mix the
batter – this will produce dense, chewy waffles.
• Forevenlyfilledwaffles,pourthebatteronto
the center of the lower grid and spread out
evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should
be filled.
• Wafflesarebestwhenmadetoorder,butbaked
waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven.
Place them in a baking pan or loosely cover in
foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil
may lose their crispiness.
• Bakedwafflesmaybefrozen.Allowtocool

bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when
ready to eat.

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.
If your Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker should
prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will
repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain

by Cuisinart.
This warranty does not cover any damage caused by

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, at its discretion, 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 the above
two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the
consumer, the consumer may then take the product to
an independent 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 for
nonconforming products under warranty.
