IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
- To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Unplug the unit when finished baking waffles.
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
- Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug a cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to setting #1, then remove the plug from the outlet.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. NO USER 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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- 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.
- Preheat the waffle maker. Close grids and plug the 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 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.
- Pour batter when the 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.
- 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.
- Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green light will again come on.
- Baking time is determined by browning level. Choose a setting on the Browning control dial. We recommend using setting #3 for golden brown waffles.
- 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.
- Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once baking is completed.

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 1/2 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 a 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

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished baking, remove the plug from an electrical outlet. Leave the top lid open so the grids begin to cool. 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 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, 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. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
STORAGE
Store with cord wrapped securely around base. Plug prongs fit into the special grooves on the side of the waffle maker. For compact storage, stand the waffle maker on the opening end so the Cuisinart logo is facing you. The waffle maker has been designed with a special latching feature so the lid stays closed during storage.
