POLARIZATION
INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection,
the Cuisinart®Double
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
Remove all packing and any promotional labels
or stickers from your wafe maker. Be sure that
all parts (listed in Part and Features) of your
new wafe maker have been included before
discarding any pack materials. You may want
to keep the box and packing materials for use
at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart®Double Belgian
Wafe Maker for the rst time, remove any
dust from shipping by wiping the plates with
a damp cloth.
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
MAKING ONE WAFFLE
1. Place the Double Belgian Wafe Maker
on a clean, at surface.
2. Plug cord into 120V AC outlet.
3. Adjust Browning Control Slider to a
desired setting. Your Cuisinart®Double
Belgian Wafe Maker will now begin
preheating.
4. Once preheated, the indicator lights will
be illuminated and the wafe maker will
beep 6 times.
5. 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 with oil. Your wafe maker is
now ready to bake.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
TO FACILITATE OPENING AND CLOSING
THE DOUBLE WAFFLE MAKER, PLEASE
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
TO OPEN:
Place thumb on top of lip of lower handle,
and index nger under lip of upper handle.
Push open.
TO CLOSE:
Place thumb on top handle, and ngers
under bottom handle and pull together
until shut.
NOTE: Please note that top and bottom
grid covers may separate slightly during
use. This is normal. Should this occur,
do not close handles to rotate until unit
beeps, indicating that the baking cycle is
completed. To reduce grid separation and
overow during cooking, you may want to
reduce the quantity of batter.
6. After the wafe maker is preheated
and ready for baking, open the wafe
maker lid. Pour wafe batter evenly on
the wafe grid. Use a heatproof spatula
to spread the batter evenly over the plate.
7. Close top cover and rotate the wafe
maker plates 180º.
8. When the wafe is baked to the desired
doneness, the unit will beep three times
and the indicator light will illuminate.
9. Rotate wafe grid with the lit indicator
light to the top position. Raise top cover
and remove the baked wafe with a
heatproof spatula.
10. Repeat for additional wafes.
MAKING TWO WAFFLES
AT ONE TIME
1. Raise top cover and pour wafe batter
evenly on the wafe grid. Use a heatproof
spatula to spread the batter evenly over
the plate.

grid 180°. The green ready light will turn
off until wafe has completed baking.
3. Raise the cover that is now on top
and pour wafe batter evenly on the
wafe plate. Use a heatproof spatula

4. When one of the wafes is done, the unit
will beep three times and the indicator
light located on the wafe maker cover
will illuminate.

indicator to the top position. Raise the
top cover and remove the baked wafe.

to cool before cleaning
CLEANING, CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have nished baking, remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow
grids to cool down completely before cleaning.
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. Never take your
waffle maker apart for cleaning.
Be certain that 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 ve minutes,
allowing batter 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 LIQUIDS.
Any other servicing should be provided by an
Authorized Service Representative.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest color
wafes. Setting #5 will produce the darkest
color wafes. Experiment to determine your
preferred setting.
• We recommend turning the browning control
dial to setting #3 when using commercial
pancake/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.
• Packaged Belgian wafe mixes found in most
supermarkets may be used with this unit.
• For best results, we recommend lling the
supplied batter cup to the top so it will ll
the wafe grids.
• When using thinner batters, reduce amount
of batter being used to a scant cup or even
three-quarters full, to prevent overow.
• For evenly lled wafes, pour the batter into
the center of the lower grid and spread out
evenly to the edges.
• If wafes tend to stick to wafe grids,
lightly brush the plates with additional
vegetable oil.
• 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 on a wire rack in
a sheet pan in the oven. Do not stack wafes
or they will 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.
