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 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® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle 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® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or flavorless vegetable oil. If using oil, apply it 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

  1. Place the closed waffle maker on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.
  2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
  3. Move the temperature slide control to the desired browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and setting #5 for the darkest color waffles.
    The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is on and the unit will begin to heat. When the waffle maker has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on. You are now ready to begin. Cuisinart WAF-150 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker - fig 2Note: 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.
  4. Lift lid of waffle maker by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a 105° position until you lower it.Cuisinart WAF-150 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker - fig 3
  5. Pour batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grid. Close 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 6 minutes to bake your waffles on setting #5.
  7. When the waffles are ready, the green light will turn on. Remove the waffles 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, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker to cool down completely before handling.

CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Once you have finished baking, remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave lid open so grids begin to cool. Allow waffle maker to cool down completely before handling.
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 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, allowing it to soften for easy removal.
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. NEVER WASH UNDER TAP WATER.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

STORAGE

LOCKING LID

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker that 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® 4-Slice 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.
We recommend that you visit our website, https://cuisinart.registria.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190.

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

  • Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you.
  • For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
  • We recommend using 2 cups of batter to fill the lower grid. NOTE: For thinner batters, both boxed and homemade, we recommend using a scant 2 cups of batter and spreading it evenly among the four waffle grids.
  • 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 plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
Fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries, chopped fruit, yogurt, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.
