7. Bake for approximately 3 minutes. For lighter
waffles, bake for less time. For darker waffles,
bake for more time. Medium-brown waffles,
can be achieved by baking in between 3½
and 5 minutes. These are approximate times
that may vary depending on the recipe
ingredients used.
Note:
During operation, the green indicator
light inside the Griddle dial will continue to
turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the
temperature. This is normal. The red indicator
light inside the Selector dial will stay illuminated
during operation.
8. Remove the waffles by gently loosening the
edges with a heat-proof spatula or tongs. Never
use metal utensils, as they will damage the
nonstick coating.
9. When you are finished baking, turn the Selector
dial to the OFF position and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet. Allow the Griddler
TM
or Griddler Gourmet
TM
to cool down for at least
30 minutes before handling.
CLEANING AND CARE
Once you have finished baking, turn the Selector
dial to the OFF position and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet. Leave the top cover of your
Griddler

open so the waffle
plates begin to cool. Allow the unit to cool down for
at least 30 minutes before handling.
Press the plate release
buttons to remove waffle
plates from the housing.
The waffle plates can be
washed in the dishwasher.
Do not use metallic objects
such as knives or forks
for cleaning. Do not use
a scouring pad for cleaning – the nonstick coating
can be damaged.
The Griddler

exterior
surfaces can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.

abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your waffle plates. Be sure that
both of your new waffle plates 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

Griddler

Waffle
Plates for the first time, wipe with a damp cloth to
remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note:

Griddler

Waffle Plates have
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 plates.

the brackets and push
down the front end of the

[300 ml]). Use a heat-proof spatula to spread
batter evenly over the grid. Close the top cover.
The green light will turn off, but the red light will
stay illuminated.
