when it is ready to use.

bit. This is normal and common to appliances
with a nonstick surface.

normal.
3. Lockdown Lid

4. Rubber Feet
- keep unit steady
5. Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green
light will again come on. Baking time is
determined by the browning level setting
chosen on the browning control dial. For
golden brown waffles, we recommend using
setting #3 or #4.

5. Brushed Stainless Steel Covers
6. Cord Storage (not shown)
- cord wraps under bottom for easy storage
Note: This Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Maker
has been treated with a special non-
stick coating. Before the first use, we
suggest you season the grids with
cooking spray or 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 maker.
6. Once the waffle is ready, remove it by gently
loosening the edges with a heat-resistant
plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils,
since they may damage the nonstick coating.
7. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet once baking is completed.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
Once you have finished baking, remove plug
from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids
begin to cool.
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®
Belgian Waffle Maker 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.
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.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® 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.
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, thus allowing it to soften for easy
removal.
We suggest you complete and return the
enclosed warranty registration card promptly to
facilitate verification of the date of original
purchase. However, return of the card is not a
condition of this warranty.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.

WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
