STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped securely. For compact storage, stand waffle iron upright on back end with control panel facing up. The waffle iron has been designed with a special latching feature so lid stays closed during storage.

TIPS TO MAKE

PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.

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.

We recommend using 11⁄2 cups (375 mL) batter per waffle for most recipes.

Waffles are best when made to order, but pre- 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.

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 toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron on setting #3.

When preheated, green indicator light will illuminate. Pour 2 cups (500 mL) batter evenly over the lower grid; spread batter using a heat- proof spatula to within 1⁄2 inch (1 cm) of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
