INTRODUCTION
Get ready for more of a good thing with the
Cuisinart
®
4-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron. Nonstick
plates, indicator lights, “ready” tone and stay-cool
pick-up panels make operation easy while the six
browning levels mean your waffles will always be
baked to perfection. The deep pockets hold more
than just butter and syrup and our new recipes
show you how to enjoy a variety of tastes, from
sweet to savory. Top chocolate waffles with ice
cream for an update on the ice cream sandwich,
or try cheddar cheese and chive waffles as an out-
of-the-ordinary complement to soup or chili. Break
away from breakfast!

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your waffle iron. Be sure that all
parts (listed above,
Parts and Features
) of your
new waffle iron 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
Iron for the first time, wipe housing and waffle
plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from
the warehouse or shipping.
Note:
The Cuisinart
®
4-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron
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 oil with a paper towel or pastry
brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process
before each use of the waffle iron.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat
surface where you intend to use it.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF
position to the desired browning setting –
setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and
setting #6 for the darkest color waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the
power is on. Allow the waffle iron to heat. When
the waffle iron has reached desired temperature,
the green indicator light will turn on and the audible
tone will sound. You are now ready to begin baking.
Note:
The first time you use your waffle iron it may
have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is
normal, and common to appliances with a
nonstick surface.
