BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your waffle plates. Be sure that
both of your new waffle plates 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
®
Griddler
®
Waffle Plates
for the first time, wipe with a damp cloth to remove
any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
Note:
The Cuisinart
®
Griddler
®
Waffle 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 of the waffle plates.

Griddler

Waffle Plates are
designed to fit Griddler

and Griddler Gourmet

models only.

batter evenly over the grid. Close the top cover.
