Before the First Use
Remove all packaging and any
promotional labels or stickers from
your waffle maker. Be sure that all
parts (listed above, Parts and Features)
of your new waffle maker 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
®
4-Slice
Belgian Waffle Maker for the first time,
wipe housing and baking plates with a
damp cloth to remove any dust from
the warehouse or shipping.
Note: The Cuisinart
®
4-Slice Belgian
Waffle Maker has been treated with
a special PFAS free ceramic 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 maker.
Operating Instructions
1. Place the closed waffle maker on a
clean, flat surface where you intend
to use it.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
3. Move the temperature slide control
to the desired browning setting –
setting #1 for the lightest colour
waffles and setting #5 for the
darkest colour waffles.
The red indicator light will turn
on to signal that the power is on.
Allow the waffle maker to heat
up. When the waffle maker has
reached desired temperature, the
red and the green indicator light
will turn on. You are now ready to
begin.
4. Note: The first time you use your
waffle maker 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 maker by grasping
the handle and pushing up in one
fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a
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 grid. Close the lid. The
green light will turn off but the red
light will stay illuminated.
6. Baking time is determined by the
browning level that you chose in
Step 3. It may take up to 6 minutes
to bake your waffles on setting #5.
7. When the waffles are ready, the
red and the green indicator light
will turn on. Remove the waffles
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,
unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker
to cool down completely before
handling.
5
Cleaning and Care
Once you have finished baking, remove
plug from electrical outlet. Leave lid
open so grids begin to cool. Allow
waffle maker to cool down completely
before handling.
Never take your waffle 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 also 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, 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.

waffle maker, we have included a base
recipe in this instruction manual. Use

your own flavours and toppings. For
