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® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron for the first time, wipe the housing and waffle plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note: The Cuisinart® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or flavourless vegetable oil. If using oil, apply oil with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the waffle iron.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat surface where you intend to bake.

2. Plug the power cord in a standard electrical outlet.

3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF position to the desired browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest colour waffles and setting #6 for the darkest colour waffles.
   The red indicator light will turn on to signal power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat. When the waffle iron has reached the 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.

4. Lift the lid of the waffle iron by grasping the handle and pushing back and up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at 105° position until you lower it.

5. Pour batter onto the centre of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the 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.

6. 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.

7. When the waffle is ready, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove the waffle 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.

8. 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.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the control dial to the OFF position and remove the plug from the electrical outlet. Leave the top lid open so the grids begin to cool. Allow the 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 them 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 for approximately 5 minutes, thus allowing it to soften for easy removal. To clean the 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 a cord wrapped securely under the base. For compact storage, stand waffle iron on the back end with the control panel facing up. The waffle iron has been designed with a special latching feature so the lid stays closed during storage.

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

• Setting #1 will produce the lightest colour waffles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest colour waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle colour for you.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
• We recommend using 3⁄4 cup of batter to fill the lower grid.
• 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 a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated.
• Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat.
• For added flavor dress your waffles with fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries, chopped fruit or yogurt.
• For sweeter waffles, add powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups lowfat milk
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3⁄4 cup finely chopped nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron.
When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour 3⁄4 cup batter onto the center of lower grid; spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When audible signal sounds and green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron which 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® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However, return of the product registration card 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® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair or, if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, please call our Customer Service Center toll- free at 1-800-726-0190 or write to: Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling. (California residents need only supply a proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions.) Please be sure to include your return address, description of the product’s defect, product serial number, and any other information pertinent to the return. Please pay by check or money order.

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by accessories, replacement parts or repair service other than those authorized by Cuisinart.
