Cuisinart WAF-2B Waffle Iron User Manual


 
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 and
pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay
open at 105° position until you lower it.
5. Pour batter onto the center of the lower waffle
grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter
evenly over the grid. Close 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 is ready, the green light
will turn on and the audible tone will sound.
Remove the waffle 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.
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 to prevent staining and sticking from bat
-
ter or oil buildup. Be certain grids have cooled
completely before cleaning. If batter adheres to
plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the
baked batter and let stand approximately 5 min
-
utes, allowing it to soften for easy removal.
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 unit in a cool, dry place with cord wrapped
securely under base.
TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest color
waffles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest
color waffles. Experiment to determine which
setting produces the best waffle color for you.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto
the center of the lower grid and spread out
evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid
should be filled.
• We recommend usin
g ¾ cup of batter to fill
lower grid.
• Waffles are best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
oven. Place them 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 toaster or
toaster oven when ready to eat.
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
Fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries,
chopped fruit, yogurt, powdered sugar, whipped
cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.
