16. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

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 pulle on by children or animals, or tripped over.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your unit. Be sure that all parts (listed above, Parts and Features) 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® Belgian Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe housing and plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note: The Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Maker plates have been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or flavorless 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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

To insert plates

1. Place the closed unit on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.
2. Lift lid by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a 105° position until you lower it.
3. Insert one plate at a time.
   Waffle plates: Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the waffle maker. The word LOWER or UPPER is embossed on the right side of each plate.
   Pancake plate: The 4-slot plate is designed to fit in the lower housing only. The word LOWER is embossed on the right side of the plate. The flat plate is designed to fit in the upper housing only. The word UPPER is embossed on the right side of the plate.
4. Locate the two holes at the back of the housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the pegs at the back of the plate with the holes at the housing. Slide the plate underneath the holes and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place.

To remove plates

1. Locate the plate release buttons on the right side of the unit. Press firmly on button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base.
2. Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from the holes at the housing, and lift it out of the base.
3. Press on the other plate release button to remove the second plate in the same manner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting.
3. The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is on and the unit will begin to heat. We recommend preheating in the closed position. When the unit has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. You are now ready to begin.
   Note: The first time you use your unit it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.
4. Please refer to the Cooking Chart on pg. 7 for further details on preparing foods.

CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

When you are finished cooking, turn the temperature knob to Off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down com-pletely before handling.
Press the plate release buttons to remove plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled completely before handling (at least 30 min-utes). The plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can be damaged.
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 performed by an authorized service representative.

STORAGE

Store with plates inserted and cord wrapped securely around the back of the unit. For compact storage, stand the unit on its back end with the control panel facing up.

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

• Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest colour waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting #4 or #5 for golden brown waffles.
• We recommend using a heaping 1½ cups (375 ml) of batter to fill the lower grid. Be careful not to over-mix the batter – this will produce dense, chewy waffles.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread it out evenly to the edges with a heat-proof spatula. The entire lower grid should be filled.
• Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven. Place them in a baking pan or cover loosely with foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness.
• Allow cooling completely. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated, and place in plastic food storage bag and reheat in a toaster or toaster oven.

RECIPES

Waffle Mix
Having a batch of this mix at the ready will allow you to make one batch of four waffles at a time. Just prepare as much or as little as you need. Our version is much healthier than purchased mixes. Makes about 7½ cups (1.875 L) of mix, enough to make 24 waffles

• 5½ cups (1.375 L) unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (250 ml) wheat germ
• 1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk powder*
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) baking powder
• 2¼ teaspoons (11.25 ml) kosher salt
• 1½ teaspoons (7 ml) baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) cream of tartar

1. Using a whisk, combine all ingredients thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
2. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. You can store in the refrigerator, or freeze, for ultimate freshness.

Buttermilk powder is available in most grocery stores. If you cannot find it, substituting nonfat dry milk is acceptable, but the results will not be as moist.

Waffle Mix Waffles

The recipe makes enough for two batches of waffles, but increase it for however many mouths you need to feed. The waffles freeze well and can be reheated quickly in a toaster oven.

When tone sounds, waffles are ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately with desired toppings.
