2. Preheat the waffle baker. Close grids and
plug cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The red
light will go on to signal power. Allow the
waffle baker to preheat. The green indicator
light will go on when unit is ready to use.
Note: The first time you use your waffle baker,
it may have a slight odour and may smoke
a bit. This is normal and common to appli-
ances with a nonstick surface.

3. Pour batter according to recipes provided,
when the green indicator light goes on. Pour

4. Rubber Feet
5. Once the waffles are ready to eat, the green

determined by browning level. Choose a
setting on the browning control dial. For
golden brown waffles, we recommend
using setting #3 or #4.

5. Brushed Stainless Steel Housing
6. 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.
6. Cord Storage
- cord wraps under bottom for easy storage
Note: This Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Baker
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 baker.
7. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet once baking is completed.

TIPS FOR MAKING
PERFECT WAFFLES
RECIPES
BASIC BELGIAN WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 when using
commercial pancake/waffle mixes.
You can’t beat the taste of homemade waffles.
Freeze the extras to use when time is scarce.
We recommend setting #4 for most homemade
(from scratch) waffle recipes.
Makes twelve 4-inch (10 cm) waffles
2
2
1
cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
tablespoons (25 ml) sugar
tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the
centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to
the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) salt
2-1/4 cups (550 ml) reduced fat milk
For best results, we recommend using 3/4 cup (175 ml)
batter to fill the entire lower grid.
6
2
tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil
large eggs
Waffles taste best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
(95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil
while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may
lose their crispiness.
Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and
combine until well blended and smooth. Let
batter sit 5 minutes before using. Preheat your
Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Baker on setting #4*
(green indicator light will be illuminated when
preheated).
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.
Pour 3/4 cup (175 ml) batter onto preheated
waffle baker grid. Using a heat-proof plastic spatu-
la, spread batter until evenly distributed. Allow bat-
ter to bubble for 5 - 10 seconds, then close cover
of waffle baker. Indicator light will turn red. When
light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open cover
and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with
remaining batter. For best results, serve immedi-
ately. However, you may keep waffles warm in a
200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
