INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1. Before using your Cuisinart® 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 w r a p p i n g . 2. Preheat the waffler. 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 odor 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 n o r m a l . 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.
