BEFORE THE FIRST

USE Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your waffle maker. Be sure that all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your new waffle maker 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 Vertical Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe the housing and baking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping. NOTE: The Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Should you experience any sticking, slightly increase the temperature setting until the waffle releases, then continue making waffles at the desired setting

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES • Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting #3 for golden brown waffles. • We recommend using the provided measuring cup. Depending on the thickness of the batter, you may be using between ¾ and 1 cup of batter per waffle. Always err on less rather than more, as batter tends to expand while cooking. • Do not overfill the waffle maker – it should not be filled to the top of the waffle grid. Always use the provided measuring cup as a guide. • Most batters should be poured through the fill spout in a steady stream. Thicker batters, however, should be added a bit more carefully, being sure that the batter in the spout drips into the waffle grid before adding more. • Batters should be whisked well to be sure there are no lumps. If the batter is not flowing easily through the spout, it is too thick. Either whisk to a smoother batter or add additional liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time.

• Excess batter will rise into the fill spout creating an extra piece. This extra piece may be easily removed for serving. • Looking for an easy way to add your favorite flavors? Substitute a small amount of the flour for your favorite finely ground nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.). Do you prefer sweet berries? Swirl up to ¼ cup of fruit jam into the prepared waffle batter prior to cooking. Not only will the waffles taste delicious, but they will also have a beautiful color to them. • If adding mix-ins to the batter, they should not be any larger than a mini chocolate chip. • Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them on a rack fitted into a baking pan or loosely cover them in foil while in the oven. • Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow cooling completely, then wrap well in plastic wrap and place in a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat. Waffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. • The provided measuring cup rests neatly on the inside of the batter bowl for clean countertops.
