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 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® Vertical 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® Vertical Waffle Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Should you experience any sticking, slightly increase temperature setting until the waffle releases, then continue making waffles at desired setting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Stand the closed waffle maker up on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it. NOTE: Be sure the front legs of the unit are set back at least 6 inches from the edge of the countertop or table.

2.Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is ON, and the unit will begin to heat up. NOTE: The first time you use your waffle maker, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal for appliances with nonstick surfaces.

3.Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting – select #1 for the lightest shade of waffle and #5 for the darkest shade. We recommend setting #3 for a golden brown waffle.

4.Once the waffle maker has reached the desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and 5 beeps will sound.

5.Using the measuring cup provided, pour batter into the fill spout on the top of the waffle maker. The amount of batter will vary slightly depending on the thickness of the batter. Check tips and hints or

the provided recipe for the right amount. NOTE: During baking, you may notice steam rising from the fill spout. This is normal and is actually necessary to produce the waffle’s crispy exterior and moist interior.

6.Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. Normal baking time for Shade #3 is about 3 minutes, but

5

depending on your waffle recipe, that may vary. Lighter shades take a little less time; darker shades a little more.

7.When the waffle is ready, the green light will turn on and 5 beeps will sound. Open the waffle maker by pressing the stay-cool latch on the side of the unit, and use the latch to carefully lower the front plate. BE CAREFUL not to touch the hot plate.

8.Remove the waffle by gently loosening an edge with a heatproof plastic spatula, wooden spatula or nonstick coated tongs.

Never use metal utensils, which will damage the nonstick coating.

closed. You can now proceed with cooking the next waffle.

10.When you are finished baking, turn the temperature knob to the lowest setting and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker to cool completely before handling.

9.Once cooked waffle is removed, carefully close the unit by bringing the stay-cool latch up to the top plate. Make sure unit is properly latched before proceeding. You will hear a “click,” letting you know it is securely

CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The waffle maker must be unplugged and completely cool before cleaning or storing. Leaving the front cover open will allow hot grids to cool more quickly.

To clean, simply brush crumbs from grooves or wipe 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-

6

on batter and let stand for about 5 minutes. This will soften the batter for easy removal.

To clean exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner 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.

Excess batter will rise into the fill spout creating an extra piece. This extra piece may be easily removed for serving.

STORAGE

The vertical design provides ultra-compact storage. Cord wraps around the base stand of the unit.

TIPS TO MAKE

PERFECT WAFFLES

Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting #3 for golden brown waffles.

We recommend using the provided measuring cup. Depending on the thickness of the batter, you may be using between ¾ and 1 cup of batter per waffle. Always err on less rather than more, as batter tends to expand while cooking.

Do not overfill the waffle maker – it should not be filled to the top of the waffle grid. Always use the provided measuring cup as a guide.

Most batters should be poured through the fill spout in a steady stream. Thicker batters,

however, should be added a bit more carefully, being sure that the batter in the spout drips into the waffle grid before adding more.

Batters should be whisked well to be sure there are no lumps. If the batter is not flowing easily through the spout, it is too thick. Either whisk to a smoother batter, or add additional liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Looking for an easy way to add your favorite flavors? Substitute a small amount of the flour for your favorite finely ground nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.). Do you prefer sweet berries? Swirl up to ¼ cup of a fruit jam into the prepared waffle batter prior to cooking.

Not only will the waffles taste delicious, but they will also have a beautiful color to them.

If adding mix-ins to the batter, they should not be any larger than a mini chocolate chip.

Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them on a rack fitted into a baking pan or loosely cover in foil while in the oven.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, then wrap well in plastic wrap and place in a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated.

Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat. Waffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

The provided measuring cup rests neatly on the inside of the batter bowl for clean countertops.

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty

(U.S. and Canada Only)

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Vertical Waffle 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 warrant that your Cuisinart® Vertical Waffle Maker will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for

3 years 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.

If your Cuisinart® Vertical Waffle Maker should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it.

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 Cuisinart (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

Your Cuisinart® Vertical Waffle Maker has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets with the authorized accessories and replacement parts.

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by attempted use of this unit with a converter, accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that have been authorized by Cuisinart.

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. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you.

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

8

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.
