W ARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. 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. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long 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. NOTICE: This appliance is of the grounded type; the extension cord should be grounded type 3-wire cord. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician, do not modify the plug in any way. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in risk of electric shock. 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1. Before using your CuisinartTM Classic Waffle Maker for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping. 2. Preheat the waffle maker. Close grids and plug cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The red light will go on to signal power. Allow the waffle maker to preheat. The green indicator light will go on when it is ready to use. 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. 3. Pour batter when green indicator light goes on. Pour batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof plastic spatula to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid. 4. The green light will go off and the red light will once again illuminate. It may take several seconds for the red light to come on. This is normal. 5. Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green light will again come on. 6. Baking time is determined by browning level. Choose a setting on the browning control dial. We recommend using setting #3 for golden brown waffles. 7. Once the waffle is ready, remove it by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating. 8. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once baking is completed. SPECIAL FEATURES 4. 3. 5. 6. 1. 2. 1.

BPA-Free (not shown) - All parts that come in contact with food are BPA-Free Note: The CuisinartTM Classic Waffle Maker 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 maker. 3
