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 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.

You'll find everyone coming to breakfast or sitting down for snacks when you bake up these hand-held waffles, eight at a time. They're just the right size to dip into your favorite syrup or fruit sauce, and our microwaveable triple Dipping

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 discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.

Before using your Cuisinart ® Waffle Dippers ™ the first time, remove all protective paper and for wrapping. Wipe housing and waffle plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping. The dipping station and dipping cups can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

Note: This Cuisinart ® Waffle Dippers ™ has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the waffle maker.

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 is for the lightest color waffles and setting #6 is for the darkest color waffles.

We recommend using setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles.

3

4

The red indicator light will turn on to signal power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat.

When the waffle iron has reached desired temperature, 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 a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.

4. Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle, pushing in the button and lifting up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at 110° position until you lower it.

5. Pour batter across the lower waffle grid.

Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid. The waffle iron will automatically latch shut when you lower the lid. The green light will turn off but the red light will stay illuminated.

6. Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. It may take up to 4 minutes to bake your waffle on setting #6.

7. When the waffle sticks are ready to eat, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove waffle sticks by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula or wooden spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick coating.

8. When you are finished baking, turn the control dial counterclockwise to the OFF setting. The red indicator light will turn off.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

DIPPING STATION

The dipping station is a plastic tray with three removable, translucent dipping cups. Fill the cups with syrup, jelly, peanut butter, chocolate and other favorite dipping sauces for dipping your baked waffle sticks.

The dipping station can go in the microwave if you want your dipping sauces heated. With the filled cups placed in the tray, microwave the dipping station on high for 10 to 15 seconds.

When ready, take the dipping station to the table for dipping your waffle sticks. The cups may be removed from the tray.

The dipping station, including tray and cups, can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher on the upper rack.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the control dial to the OFF position and remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool. Allow waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

Never take your waffle iron 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, (be sure waffle iron is unplugged) to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Be certain grids have cooled

completely and waffle iron is unplugged

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.

The dipping station and dipping cups can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

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

LIQUID.

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped securely under base.

For compact storage, stand waffle iron upright on back end with control panel facing up. The waffle iron has been designed with a special latching feature so lid stays closed during storage.

TIPS FOR MAKING

PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 to 4 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes.

We recommend setting #3 to 4 for most homemade (from scratch) waffle recipes.

If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control. For lighter waffles, decrease the browning control.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

For best results, we recommend using 3 ⁄

4 cup batter to fill the entire lower grid.

Waffles taste best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200° F oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a Cuisinart ® toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

Serve savory-flavored waffle sticks in place of bread or muffins to accompany soup or chili.

Add fresh or frozen thawed berries, finely diced

( 1 ⁄

8 inch) fruits – apples, pears, peaches, finely chopped nuts, or 1 mashed banana to Basic

Waffles, Honey Whole Wheat Waffles, or Waffle

Mix Waffle Sticks.

WAFFLE STICKS MIX

Having a batch of this mix on hand will allow you to make waffle sticks anytime you want – from one strip of 8 sticks – or many strips. Just keep mix in your pantry and pull out when you want to prepare waffles. Prepare as much or as little of the mix as needed. Our version is much healthier than most purchased versions too,as it does not contain any hydrogenated fats or preservatives.

DIPPING SAUCE SUGGESTIONS

Waffle Sticks may be served buttered or unbuttered, with or without sauces for dipping.

They may also be spread with peanut butter or other nut butters, whipped honey, cream cheese, or a chocolate nut spread such as

Nutella ® .

Jams, jellies, preserves, and syrups can be warmed before serving for dipping. Take care not to overheat, as the sugars in these items can cause burns.

For dipping waffle sticks we suggest the following:

Chocolate Sauce

Caramel Sauce

Marshmallow Sauce

Jams, Jellies, Preserves

– grape; strawberry; seedless blueberry, blackberry, raspberry; apricot; marmalade; apple or pumpkin butter.

These are best for dippers when heated to a warm, syrupy consistency.

Syrups/Honeys

– maple or fruit flavored syrups, honey. These are best for dipping waffle sticks when heated to warm.

Fruit flavored yogurts

– Waffle sticks may be dipped into fruit flavored yogurt for an easy, healthy dipping sauce.

Applesauce or fruit purées (sweetened to taste)

– Warm applesauce or purée slightly for a dipping sauce.
