GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/ Omelet Maker is supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in

combination with a properly connected groundingtype outlet as shown in the illustration.

NOTE: This Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/Omelet Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the waffle grids and omelet plates by brushing with cooking oil. Wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.

Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your waffle/omelet maker. Be sure that all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your new waffle/omelet maker have been included before discarding any packing materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a

later date.

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. The extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.

This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter. Failure to comply voids the warranty.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/Omelet Maker for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth.

The first time you use your waffle/ omelet maker, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and common for Cuisinart appliances with nonstick surfaces.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Place the Breakfast Express® Waffle/ Omelet Maker on a clean, flat surface.

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

2.Press switch to ON position.

3.Adjust control knobs to the desired setting. Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles or omelets.

Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles or omelets. Experiment to determine your preferred settings.

4.IMPORTANT NOTICE!

After unit is preheated, season waffle grids and omelet plates with cooking spray or brush with a flavorless oil

to thoroughly coat all surfaces. It is important that you preheat the

Breakfast Express® before seasoning with cooking spray or oil.

5.IMPORTANT NOTICE!

TO FACILITATE OPENING AND CLOSING THE BREAKFAST EXPRESS®, PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

TO OPEN: Place thumb on top of lip of lower handle, and index finger under lip of upper handle. Push open.

TO CLOSE: Place thumb on top handle, and fingers under bottom handle. Pull together until shut.

NOTE: Please note that top and bottom grid covers may separate slightly during use. This is normal. Should this occur, do not close handles to rotate until unit beeps, indicating that the baking cycle is completed. To reduce grid separation and overflow during cooking, you may want to reduce the quantity of batter.

6.For best results, do not open waffle/omelet maker during cooking process. Doing so will throw off the timing mechanism.

Making Waffles

1.After the Breakfast Express® is preheated and ready for baking, open the waffle maker. Fill the supplied measuring cup to the top. Pour batter evenly into the center of the waffle plate. Use a heatproof spatula to

spread the batter evenly over the plate.

2.Close top lid cover and rotate the waffle side 180°.

3.When the waffle is baked to the desired doneness, the unit will beep three times and the green indicator light will illuminate.

4.Rotate waffle maker with the lit indicator light to the top position. Raise the top cover and remove the baked waffle. Repeat for additional waffles.

5.When you are finished baking, turn unit switch to the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Allow the unit to cool completely before handling.

Making an Omelet

1.After the Breakfast Express® is preheated and ready for baking, open the omelet maker. Pour egg mixture evenly on the omelet plate.

2.Close top lid cover and let mixture stand for 20 seconds. Then rotate the omelet side 180°. The green indicator light will turn off.

3.When the omelet is baked to the desired doneness, the unit will beep three times and a green indicator light located on the omelet cover will light.

4.Rotate the omelet maker so that the lit indicator light is at the top position. Raise the top cover and remove the baked omelet. Repeat for additional omelets.

5.When you are finished baking, turn unit switch to the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before handling.

Note: One waffle and one omelet can be baked at the same time. Please follow

5

above instructions.

TIPS AND HINTS

Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles or omelets. Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles or omelets. Experiment to determine your preferred settings.

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

For best results, we recommend filling the supplied measuring cup to the top so it will fill the lower plate with the correct amount of batter.

For added convenience while baking waffles, rest measuring cup with handle hanging on outside of bowl and scoop on inside of bowl until the next baking cycle.

To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon it into a measuring cup, leveling off the top with the back of a knife – do not pack down into measuring cup. These quick steps will help you avoid heavy waffles.

Note: When making omelets, frittatas, pancakes and cornbread, close top lid and let mixture stand for 20 seconds before rotating the omelet side 180˚.

Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm in a 200˚F oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness.

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

If waffles tend to stick to waffle plates, add slightly more oil or butter to the batter.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Once you have finished baking, press switch to the OFF position; remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow grids/plates to cool before cleaning.

Never take your Breakfast Express® apart for cleaning. To clean, 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 plates by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup.

Be certain that grids/plates have cooled completely before cleaning.

If batter adheres to grids/plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the bakedon batter and let stand approximately five minutes, allowing batter 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.

Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/Omelet Maker that was purchased 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 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.

If your Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/Omelet Maker should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Consumer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to Consumer Service at Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307.

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.

Please pay by check or money order, payable to Conair (California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart product that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery service.

Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product model number (located on bottom of product), original date of purchase, and any other information pertinent to the product’s return.

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.

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 toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such products under warranty.

YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages.
