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
iron. Be sure that all parts (listed above, Parts and Features) of your new
waffle iron 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® Waffle Dippers™ for the first time, remove all
protective paper and wrapping. Wipe housing and waffle plates with a damp
cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping. The dipping station
and dipping cups can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Note: This Cuisinart® Waffle Dippers™ has been treated with a special
nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with
cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply 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 iron on a clean, flat surface where you intend to bake.
-
Plug the power cord in a standard electrical outlet.
-
Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF position to the desired browning setting. Setting #1 is for the lightest color waffles and setting #6 is for the darkest color waffles. We recommend using setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles. The red indicator light will turn on to signal power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat.
When the waffle iron has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. You are now ready to begin baking.
Note: The first time you use your waffle iron 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 iron by grasping the handle, pushing in the button and lifting up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at 110° position until you lower it.
-
Pour batter across the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid. The waffle iron will automatically latch shut when you lower 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 4 minutes to bake your waffle on setting #6.
-
When the waffle sticks are ready to eat, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove waffle sticks 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, turn the control dial counterclockwise to the OFF setting. The red indicator light will turn off. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.
DIPPING STATION
The dipping station is a plastic tray with three removable, translucent
dipping cups. Fill the cups with syrup, jelly, peanut butter, chocolate and
other favorite dipping sauces for dipping your baked waffle sticks.
The dipping station can go in the microwave if you want your dipping sauces
heated. With the filled cups placed in the tray, microwave the dipping station
on high for 10 to 15 seconds.
When ready, take the dipping station to the table for dipping your waffle
sticks. The cups may be removed from the tray.
The dipping station, including tray and cups, can be washed by hand or in the
dishwasher on the upper rack.
CLEANING AND CARE
Once you have finished baking, turn the control dial to the OFF position and
remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool.
Allow waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.
Never take your waffle iron 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 clean the grids by wiping with a damp cloth, (be sure waffle iron is
unplugged) to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Be
certain grids have cooled completely and waffle iron is unplugged before
cleaning. If batter adheres to plates,
simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand
approximately 5 minutes, thus allowing batter to soften for easy removal.
The dipping station and dipping cups can be washed by hand or in the
dishwasher.
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.
STORAGE
Store with cord wrapped securely under base.
For compact storage, stand waffle iron upright on back end with control panel
facing up. The waffle iron has been designed with a special latching feature
so lid stays closed during storage.
TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 to 4 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes.
We recommend setting #3 to 4 for most homemade (from scratch) waffle recipes.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control. For
lighter waffles, decrease the browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the center of the lower grid
and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
For best results, we recommend using 3 ⁄4 cup batter to fill the entire lower
grid.
Waffles taste 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
Cuisinart® toaster or toaster oven when ready to use. Serve savory-flavored
waffle sticks in place of bread or muffins to accompany soup or chili.
Add fresh or frozen thawed berries, finely diced (1⁄8 inch) fruits – apples,
pears, peaches, finely chopped nuts, or 1 mashed banana to Basic Waffles,
Honey Whole Wheat Waffles, or Waffle Mix Waffle Sticks.

DIPPING SAUCE SUGGESTIONS
Waffle Sticks may be served buttered or unbuttered, with or without sauces for
dipping. They may also be spread with peanut butter or other nut butters,
whipped honey, cream cheese, or a chocolate nut spread such as Nutella ®.
Jams, jellies, preserves, and syrups can be warmed before serving for dipping.
Take care not to overheat, as the sugars in these items can cause burns.
For dipping waffle sticks we suggest the following:
Chocolate Sauce Caramel Sauce Marshmallow Sauce Jams, Jellies, Preserves –
grape; strawberry; seedless blueberry, blackberry, raspberry; apricot;
marmalade; apple or pumpkin butter.
These are best for dippers when heated to a warm, syrupy consistency.
Syrups/Honeys – maple or fruit flavored syrups, honey. These are best for
dipping waffle sticks when heated to warm.
Fruit flavored yogurts – Waffle sticks may be dipped into fruit flavored
yogurt for an easy, healthy dipping sauce.
Applesauce or fruit purées (sweetened to taste) – Warm applesauce or purée
slightly for a dipping sauce.
