SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. -
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 electrical
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.

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® 4-Slice Belgian 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® 4-Slice Belgian 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Place the closed waffle maker on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.
-
Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
-
Move the temperature slide control to the desired browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and setting #5 for the darkest color waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is on and the unit will begin to heat. When the waffle maker has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on. You are now ready to begin. 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. -
Lift lid of waffle maker by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a 105° position until you lower it.
-
Pour batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid. The green light will turn off but the red light will stay illuminated.
-
Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. It may take up to 6 minutes to bake your waffles on setting #5.
-
When the waffles are ready, the green light will turn on. Remove the 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.
-
When you are finished baking, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker to cool down completely before handling.
CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished baking, remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave lid
open so grids begin to cool. Allow waffle maker to cool down completely before
handling.
Never take your waffle maker 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,
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. NEVER
WASH UNDER TAP WATER.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
STORAGE
LOCKING LID
Store with cord wrapped securely under base. For compact storage, stand waffle maker on back end with control panel facing up. The waffle maker has been designed with a special latching feature so the lid stays closed during storage.
WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you
own a Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian 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® 4-Slice
Belgian 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, https://cuisinart.registria.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.
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, according to its preference,
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 neither
of the above two options results 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
800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be
responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling
for such nonconforming products under warranty.
HASSLE-FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Your ultimate satisfaction in Cuisinart products is our goal, so if your
Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker should fail within the generous
warranty period, we will repair it or, if necessary, replace it at no cost to
you. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at
https://www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-assistance/product-
inquiry. Or call our toll-free customer service department at
1-800-726-0190 to speak with a
representative.
Your Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker has been manufactured to the
strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt
outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts. This
warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by attempted use of
this unit with a converter, as well as use with accessories, replacement parts
or repair service other than those 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. You may also have other
rights, which vary from state to state.
Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone
other than Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer
to call our Consumer Service Center at
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the
problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts,
and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
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.
- For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
- We recommend using 2 cups of batter to fill the lower grid. NOTE: For thinner batters, both boxed and homemade, we recommend using a scant 2 cups of batter and spreading it evenly among the four waffle grids.
- Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them 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 eat.
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
Fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries, chopped fruit, yogurt,
chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.
