BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart
®
Pizzelle Press for
the
fi
rst time, remove any dust from shipping by
wiping the plates with a damp cloth.
Remove all packaging and any promotional
labels or stickers from your Pizzelle Press.
Be sure that all parts (listed in
Parts and
Features)
of your new Pizzelle Press have
been included before discarding any packing
materials. You may want to keep the box and
packing materials for use at a later date.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the Pizzelle Press: Close lid and
plug cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
The red light will go on to signal power.
The green indicator light will go on when
the unit is ready to use.
NOTE:
The first time you use your
Pizzelle Press, it may have a slight odor
and may smoke a bit. This is normal and
common to appliances with a nonstick
surface.
2. When the green indicator light goes on,
scoop ingredients onto bottom plates
according to the recipes provided.
Close the lid. The green light will go off.
3. Once the pizzelle are ready to be
removed from the unit, the green light
will illuminate once again. Baking time is
determined by browning level. Choose
a setting on the browning control dial.
For golden crisp pizzelle, we recommend
using setting #3 or #4.
4. Lift the top cover. Remove the pizzelle by
loosening the edges with a heat-resistant
plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils,
as they may damage the nonstick coating.
5. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet, once cooking has been completed.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished cooking, remove plug
from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so
plates begin to cool.
Be certain plates have
cooled completely before cleaning.
Never take your Pizzelle Press 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 clean the plates by wiping with a damp
cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter
or oil buildup. If batter adheres to plates, simply
pour a little cooking oil onto the cooked batter
and let stand approximately 5 minutes, thus
allowing batter to soften for easy removal.
DO NOT POUR OIL ONTO PIZZELLE PLATES
WHEN PLUGGED IN.
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 LIQUIDS.
Maintenance:
Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
TIPS & HINTS
Always allow the Cuisinart
®
Pizzelle Press to
preheat completely before baking pizzelle.
Make certain that the green indicator light is lit
before baking subsequent batches of pizzelle.
Be certain that the Pizzelle Press is completely
clean before preheating. Crumbs and batter
baked onto the press will cause sticking.
Use a small amount of vegetable oil or melted
vegetable shortening applied with a heatproof
pastry brush to lightly condition the press.
Do not use butter or cooking sprays. Butter
will burn or smoke when heated, and many
cooking sprays contain lecithin, which can
become “gummy” and sticky when heated
on a nonstick cooking surface.
If you are using the Rolling Dowel to roll your
pizzelle, roll them immediately upon removing
them from the press. Remove one pizzelle at a
