When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and
knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and
injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD,
PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest
Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire,
electrical shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.

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.
An extension cord may be used if care is
exercised in their use. However, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally. The extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
NOTICE:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
WARNING- Improper use of the grounding can
result in risk of electric shock.

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 waffle 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 savoury. 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.

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 dis-
carding 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 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 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 colour waffles and
setting #6 for the darkest colour waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal
power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat. When
the waffle iron has reached desired tempera-
ture, 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 odour and may smoke a
bit. This is normal, and common to appliances
with a nonstick surface.
4. Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle and
pushing back and up in one fluid motion. Lid will
stay open at 105° position until you lower it.
5. Pour batter onto the centre of the lower waffle
grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter
evenly over the grids. Close the lid. The green
light will turn off but the red light will stay illumi-
nated.
NOTE: Use only black touch grip when opening
and closing waffle iron. Sides of the die-cast
handle become warm from cooking and steam
emitted from waffle iron.
6. Baking time is determined by the browning level
that you chose in Step 3. It may take
up to 4 minutes to bake your waffle on
setting #6.
7. When the waffle is ready, the green light will
turn on and the audible tone will sound.
Remove the waffle 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, turn the control
dial counterclockwise to the OFF setting. The
red indicator light will turn off. Unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle iron to
cool down completely before handling.
CLEANING AND CARE
Once you have finished baking, turn the control
dial to the OFF position and remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin
to cool. Allow waffle iron to cool down completely
before handling.
Never take your waffle iron 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 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, thus 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.
STORAGE
Store unit in a cool, dry place with cord wrapped
securely under base.
TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest colour waf-
fles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest colour
waffles. Experiment to determine which setting
produces the best waffle colour for you.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto
the centre of the lower grid and spread out
evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid
should be filled.
• We recommend using 11⁄2cups (375 ml) of bat-
ter to fill the lower grid.
• Waffles are best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
(95°C) 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.

• For added flavour, dress your waffles with fruit
syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries,
chopped fruit or yogurt.
• For sweeter waffles add powdered sugar,
whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.
