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

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

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.

2. Preheat the waffle maker. 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
indicator light will go on when waffle maker
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. When green indicator light goes on, batter can
be poured. 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 gently
loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic
spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they
may damage the nonstick coating.

8. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet, once baking is completed.

Note: The Cuisinart

Heart-Shaped Waffle
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 it with a paper
towel or pastry brush. You may find it
helpful to repeat this process before
each use of the waffle maker.
