INTRODUCTION
Get ready to enjoy the most delicious waffles
you’ve ever made with the Cuisinart
® 2-slice
Belgian Waffle Iron. The six shade settings and
regulating thermostat combined with the nonstick
plates, indicator lights, “ready” tone and stay-cool
pick-up panels make operation easy and waffles
consistently perfect. The deep pockets hold more
than just butter and syrup – load them up with the
topping you like best for even more of a good
thing. Try savory waffles as the perfect comple-

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your waffle iron. Be sure that all
parts (listed above, Parts and Features) of your
new waffle iron have been included before dis-
carding any packaging materials. You may want to
keep the box and packing materials for use at a
later date.
Before using your Cuisinart
® 2-Slice Belgian
Waffle Iron for the first time, wipe housing and
waffle plates with a damp cloth to remove any
dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note: The Cuisinart
® 2-Slice Belgian Waffle Iron
has 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 of the waffle iron.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat
surface where you intend to bake.
2. Plug the power cord in a standard electrical
outlet.
3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF
position to the desired browning setting –
setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and set-
ting #6 for the darkest color waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal
power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat. When
the waffle iron has reached desired tempera-
ture, the green indicator light will turn on and
the audible tone will sound. You are now ready
to begin baking.
Note: The first time you use your waffle iron
it may have a slight odor and may smoke
