POLARIZATION
INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the
Cuisinart®Flip Belgian
Wafe Maker is supplied
with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk
of re, this plug will t in a
polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician for assistance. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
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. Extension cords may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and the longer cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or animals,
or tripped over. The extension cord should be for
a polarized plug and outlet.
This appliance is for 120 volts only and should
not be used with a converter.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart®Flip Belgian Wafe
Maker for the 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 wafe maker. Be sure that
all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your
new wafe maker have been included before
discarding any packing materials. You may
want to keep the box and packing materials
for storage.
NOTE: The wafe plates have been treated with
a special nonstick coating. The rst time you use
your wafe maker, it may have a slight odor and
may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to
appliances with a nonstick surface.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the Cuisinart® Flip Belgian Wafe Maker
on a clean, at surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet.
3. To preheat your Cuisinart®Flip Belgian Wafe
Maker, turn the control knob dial to your
preferred setting. The Ready indicator light
will light up when fully heated. (Heat-up time
should take approximately four minutes for the
rst wafe of each baking session.)
4. After wafe maker is preheated, brush the
wafe plates with a avorless oil to thoroughly
coat all surfaces. It’s important that you
preheat the wafe maker before seasoning or
oil. Your wafe maker is now ready to bake.
NOTE: The wafe plates have been treated
with a special nonstick coating. The rst time
you use your wafe maker, it may have a slight
odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and
common to appliances with a nonstick surface.
5. After the wafe maker is preheated and ready
for baking, open the wafe maker lid.
6. Fill the provided batter cup with batter. If using
a standard measuring cup, ll to 1 cup. Pour
the batter evenly across the wafe plate. Use a
heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly
over the grids.
7. Close the lid and rotate the handle 180° to
the right. The Ready indicator light will turn
off. NOTE: Baking time is determined by the
browning setting chosen. It may take up to 3
minutes longer to bake your wafes on a higher
setting.
8. When the wafe is baked, the Ready indicator
light will turn on. Rotate the handle 180° to the
left and open the lid. To remove the wafe,
gently loosen the edges with a heatproof
spatula. Never use stainless steel utensils, as
they may damage the nonstick coating.
9. Repeat the above process if making additional
wafes. It is not necessary to oil/grease the
wafe grids before each new wafe.
When you are finished baking, always unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the
waffle maker to cool down completely before
handling.
The wafe plates have been treated with a
special nonstick PFOA-free coating. Before the
rst use, we suggest you season the grids with
avorless vegetable oil. Apply oil with a paper
towel or pastry brush.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have nished baking, remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave the top lid open and allow
grids to cool before cleaning.
Never take your wafe maker 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-on
batter and let stand approximately 5 minutes.
This will soften the batter 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 LIQUIDS.
Hand-wash drip tray.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.

TIPS AND HINTS
• Packaged wafe mixes found in most
supermarkets may be used with this unit.
• For best results, we recommend lling the
supplied measuring cup to the top so it will
ll the wafe, unless suggested otherwise in
recipes. Thinner batters may require a little less
batter, and thicker batters may require a little
more.
• For evenly lled wafes, pour the batter into the
center of the lower plate and spread out evenly
to the edges. The entire wafe plate should be
lled.
• For added convenience while baking wafes,
rest the measuring cup on the lip of the bowl
containing the batter until the next baking cycle.
• We recommend turning the browning control
dial to setting #3 when using wafe mixes and
for the included recipes. If you prefer crisper,
darker Belgian wafes, set the browning control
higher. If you prefer lighter wafes, turn the
browning control dial down.
• Belgian wafes taste best when made to order,
but baked Belgian wafes may be kept warm
in a 200˚F oven. Place them in a baking pan
or wrap them in foil while in the oven. Wafes
wrapped in foil may lose their crispness.
• Baked wafes may be frozen. Allow them to
cool completely, and then place them in a
plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper
to keep wafes separated. Reheat in an oven,
toaster or toaster oven when ready to serve.
