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
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
been treated with a special nonstick coating.
Should you experience any sticking, slightly
increase temperature setting until the waffle
releases, then continue making waffles at
desired setting.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stand the closed waffle maker up on a clean,
flat surface where you intend to use it.
NOTE: Be sure the front legs of the unit are
set back at least 6 inches from the edge of
the countertop or table.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet. The red indicator light will turn on to
signal that the power is ON, and the unit will
begin to heat up. NOTE: The first time you
use your waffle maker, it may have a slight
odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal for
appliances with nonstick surfaces.

3. Adjust the temperature knob to the desired
browning setting – select #1 for the lightest
shade of waffle and #5 for the darkest shade.
We recommend setting #3 for a golden
brown waffle.
4. Once the waffle maker has reached the
desired temperature, the green indicator
light will turn on and 5 beeps will sound.
5. Using the measuring cup provided, pour
batter into the fill spout on the top of the
waffle maker. The amount of batter will
vary slightly depending on the thickness
of the batter. Check tips and hints or
the provided recipe for the right amount.
NOTE: During baking, you may notice steam
rising from the fill spout. This is normal and
is actually necessary to produce the waffle's
crispy exterior and moist interior.
6. Baking time is determined by the browning
level that you chose in Step 3. Normal baking
time for Shade #3 is about 3 minutes, but
