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.

Note: The Cuisinart® Griddler® Waffle Plates are designed to fit Griddler® and Griddler Gourmet® models only.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Place the closed Griddler® or Griddler Gourmet® on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.

To insert waffle plates

1.Adjust the Griddler® or Griddler Gourmet® to the flat position with the controls directly in front of you.

2.Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the unit.

3.Locate the metal brackets at the center of the lower housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the cutouts at the back of the plate with the metal brackets.

4.Slide the plate underneath the brackets and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place.

5.Insert the second plate into the upper housing as you did with the first plate.

To remove waffle plates

1.Once the Griddler® or Griddler Gourmet® has cooled, adjust to the flat position.

2.Locate the plate release button on one side of the unit. Press firmly on button and plate will pop up slightly from the base.

3. Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets and lift it out of the base. Press on the other plate release button to remove the other waffle plate in the same manner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2.Turn the Selector dial to the left to choose the Griddle function. The red indicator light on the Selector dial will illuminate to signal that the power is on.

3.Set the Griddle dial to 400°F:

4.Allow the unit to heat up. When it has reached the selected temperature, the green indicator light will illuminate. You are now ready to begin.

Note: The first time you use your waffle plates you may notice a slight odor or some smoke. This is normal and common for plates with a nonstick surface.

5.Lift top cover of the Griddler® or Griddler Gourmet® by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. The top cover will stay open in a 100° position until you lower it.

6.Pour enough batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid to completely cover (about 1¼ cups). Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grid. Close the top cover. The green light will turn off, but the red light will stay illuminated.
