IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic
safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
8. Do not use outdoors.

2. Do not use appliance for other than intended

13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then
plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn control to setting #1, then remove plug
from the outlet.
14. Extreme caution must be used when moving
an appliance containing hot oil or other hot
liquids.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
15.
OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.
16.
Do not operate your appliance in an
appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.
When storing in an appliance garage
always unplug the unit from the electri cal outlet. Not doing so could create a risk
of fire, especially if the appliance touches
the walls of the garage or the door touches
the unit as it closes.
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, 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using your Cuisinart® Classic Waffle
Maker for the first time, remove any dust
from shipping by wiping the plates with a
damp cloth. Remove all protective paper
and wrapping.
2. Preheat the waffler. Close grids and plug
cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The red
light will go on to signal power. Allow the
waffle maker to preheat. The green indica
tor light will go on when it is ready to use.
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.
3
. Pour batter when green indicator light goes
on. Pour batter onto the center of the lower
waffle grid. Use a heat-proof plastic spatula
to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close
the lid.
4
. The green light will go off and the red light
will once again illuminate. It may take several
seconds for the red light to come on. This is
normal.
5.
Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green
light will again come on.
6. Baking time is determined by browning
level. Choose a setting on the browning
control dial. We recommend using setting
#3 for golden brown waffles.
7. Once the waffle is ready, remove it by gen
tly loosening the edges with a heat-proof
plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as
they may damage the nonstick coating.
Always disconnect the plug from the wall

TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 for golden
brown waffles.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase
the browning control to setting #4 or 5.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto
the center of the lower grid and close the
cover.
We recommend using ½ cup batter per waffle
for evenly filled waffles.
Waffles are best when made to order, but
baked 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 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 a 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
