INTRODUCTION
Cuisinart has always had a flair for the dramatic,
and your new 6-Slice Traditional Waffle Iron is
one of the best examples yet! The look is solid –
a cross between commercial and consumer,
with brushed stainless steel that’s upscale and
elegant. Smooth, flared sides add style and catch
drips for easy cleanups. You’ll love the options
that 6 browning settings provide, and the
successful results that indicator lights and an
audible tone guarantee. Your waffle iron bakes
six waffles at once, so no one has to wait for fun
family breakfasts or delightfully different desserts.
Plates are nonstick, so just heat them up and get
ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
