INTRODUCTION
Cuisinart has always had a flair for the dramatic,
and your new Traditional Waffle Iron is one of the
best examples yet! The look is solid – a cross
between commercial and consumer, with brushed
stainless steel that’s upscale and elegant.
Smooth, flared sides add style and catch drips
for easy cleanups. You’ll love the options that
6 browning settings provide, and the successful
results that indicator lights and an audible tone
guarantee. Plates are nonstick, so heat them
up and get cooking! Enjoy great breakfasts and
creative desserts. Happy waffling!

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
®
Traditional 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
®
Traditional 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 bake.
2. Plug the power cord in 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. We
recommend using setting #3 or #4 for golden
brown waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal power.
Allow the waffle iron to preheat. 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.
