Manual

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional
labels or stickers from your wafe maker. Be sure
that all parts (listed in Parts & Features) of your
new wafe 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
Wafe Maker for the rst time, wipe housing and
baking plates with a damp cloth to remove any
dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note: The wafe grids have been treated with
a special nonstick PTFE coating. Before the
rst use, we suggest you season the grids with
cooking spray or avorless vegetable oil. If using
oil, apply oil with a paper towel or pastry brush.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
2. To preheat your Cuisinart
®
4-Slice Belgian
Wafe Maker, turn the control knob dial to
setting #5 or preferred setting*. Heat-up time
should take approximately four minutes. The
Ready indicator light located on the top of the
wafe maker will illuminate when the unit is
fully heated. (This is for the rst wafe of each
baking session.)
NOTE: 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.
3. When the wafe grids are preheated, open the
lid. Fill the provided batter cup with batter. If
using a standard measuring cup, ll to ¾ cup.
4. Pour the batter evenly across the wafe grids.
Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter
evenly over the grids. Close the lid and rotate
the handle 180° to the right.
5. The Ready light will be on for approximately 30
seconds and then cycle off. When the ready
light turns back on, your wafe is ready. NOTE:
Baking time is determined by the browning
setting chosen. It may take up to 3 minutes to
bake your wafes on a higher setting.
6. Once the Ready light has illuminated, 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
utensils, as they may damage the nonstick
coating.
7. Repeat the above process if making additional
wafes. It is not necessary to spray the wafe
grids before each new wafe.
When you are nished baking, always unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the wafe
maker to cool down completely before handling.
*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve a
golden-brown baked Belgian wafe. Adjust the
browning control if you prefer lighter or darker
wafes.
CLEANING, CARE 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 Belgian 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
batter and let stand approximately 5 minutes,
thus 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.
Hand-wash drip tray.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
