2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.

SAVE THESE 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.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long 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. 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.

INTRODUCTION

Cuisinart has always had a flair for the dramatic, and your new 6-Slice Traditional Waffle Iron is one of the best examples yet! The look is solid – a cross between commercial and consumer, with brushed stainless steel that’s upscale and elegant. Smooth, flared sides add style and catch drips for easy cleanups. You’ll love the options that 6 browning settings provide, and the successful results that indicator lights and an audible tone guarantee. Your waffle iron bakes six waffles at once, so no one has to wait for fun family breakfasts or delightfully different desserts. Plates are nonstick, so just heat them up and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!

9. Rubber Feet (not shown) – Feet keep unit steady and won’t mark countertop.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your waffle iron. Be sure that all parts (listed above, Parts and Features) of your new waffle iron 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

6-Slice Traditional Waffle Iron for the first time, remove all protective paper and wrapping. Wipe housing and waffle plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.

Note: This Cuisinart

6-Slice Traditional Waffle Iron has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or 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 iron.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat surface where you intend to bake.

2. Plug the power cord in a standard electrical outlet.

3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF position to the desired browning setting. Setting #1 for the lightest colour waffles and setting #6 for the darkest colour waffles. We recommend using setting #3 for golden brown waffles.

The red indicator light will turn on to signal

power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat. When the waffle iron has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. You are now ready to begin baking.

Note: The first time you use your waffle iron it may have a slight odour and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.

4. Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle and pushing back and up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at 105° position until you lower it.

5. Pour batter onto the centre of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid. The waffle iron will automatically latch shut when you lower the lid. The green light will turn off but the red light will stay illuminated.

6. Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. It may take up to 5 minutes to bake your waffle on setting #6.

7. When the waffles are ready to eat, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove waffles by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula or wooden spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick coating.

8. When you are finished baking, turn the control dial counterclockwise to the OFF setting. The red indicator light will turn off. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the control dial to the OFF position and remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool. Allow waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

Never take your waffle iron 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, thus 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 LIQUID.

Page 5

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped securely. For compact storage, stand waffle iron upright on back end with control panel facing up. The waffle iron has been designed with a special latching feature so lid stays closed during storage.

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.

If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

We recommend using 1

⁄2 cups (375 mL) batter

per waffle for most recipes. Waffles are best when made to order, but pre-

baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200° F (95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely; then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

Maple syrup, fruit syrups Warm fruit compote, fruit sauce Fresh berries, chopped fruit Chopped nuts Powdered sugar Whipped cream Ice cream, sorbet Chocolate sauce Fruited yogurt
