This document contains user manuals for two Cuisinart products: the Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Round Classic Waffle Maker and the Cuisinart 9-Inch Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware Square Cake Pan.
Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Round Classic Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless, Silver
Function Description:
The Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Round Classic Waffle Maker is designed to bake classic round waffles with customizable browning levels. It features nonstick grids for easy food release and cleaning, and indicator lights to signal when the unit is preheated and when waffles are ready.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Waffle Size: Makes eight 6½-inch round waffles (as indicated in recipes).
- Power: Operates on a 120V AC wall outlet.
- Browning Control: Five settings to customize waffles from light to deep golden brown.
- Materials: Brushed stainless steel covers. All parts in contact with food are BPA-Free.
- Cord: Short power-supply cord to reduce entanglement risks; features cord storage under the bottom for easy storage.
- Plug: Polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for safety.
- Safety Features: Rubber feet to prevent marking countertops and keep the unit steady; weighted lid to prevent rising during baking.
- Warranty: Limited Three-Year Warranty for household use.
Usage Features:
- Initial Setup: Before first use, wipe plates with a damp cloth to remove dust. Season grids with cooking spray or flavorless vegetable oil, applying with a paper towel or pastry brush. This process may be repeated before each use.
- Preheating: Close grids and plug into a 120V AC outlet. The red light indicates power. The green indicator light illuminates when the waffle maker is preheated and ready to use. A slight odor or smoke may occur during the first use, which is normal for nonstick appliances.
- Baking: Once the green light is on, pour approximately ½ cup of batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof plastic spatula to spread batter evenly. Close the lid. The green light will turn off, and the red light will illuminate.
- Waffle Readiness: The green light will illuminate again when the waffles are ready. Baking time depends on the chosen browning level (setting #3 is recommended for golden brown waffles).
- Removal: Gently loosen edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula. Avoid metal utensils to prevent damage to the nonstick coating.
- Keeping Warm: Baked waffles can be kept warm in a 200°F oven, placed in a baking pan or wrapped in foil. Note that foil-wrapped waffles may lose crispiness.
- Freezing: Cooled waffles can be frozen in a plastic food storage bag with waxed paper between them. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven.
- Recipes: The manual includes recipes for Basic Waffles, Mini-Chip Waffles, Cornmeal Waffles, Nutty Whole Wheat Waffles, Fruity Waffles, Banana Chip Waffles, and Banana Nut Waffles.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: After baking, unplug the unit and leave the top lid open to cool. Do not disassemble. Brush crumbs from grooves. Absorb excess cooking oil with a dry cloth or paper towel. Wipe grids with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking. Ensure grids are completely cool before cleaning.
- Stubborn Batter: If batter adheres, pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes to soften for easy removal.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or harsh pads.
- Immersion Warning: NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
- Servicing: Any servicing beyond basic cleaning should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- Storage: Store with the cord wrapped securely around the base. Plug prongs fit into special grooves on the side. For compact storage, stand the waffle maker on its opening end with the Cuisinart logo facing you. A special latching feature keeps the lid closed during storage.
Cuisinart 9-Inch Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware Square Cake Pan, Silver
Function Description:
The Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware Square Cake Pan is a durable baking pan designed for easy food release and long-lasting performance in home kitchens.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Size: 9-inch square cake pan (implied by product name, though specific dimensions are not detailed in the provided excerpt).
- Material: Features a special nonstick coating for easy release.
- Oven Safety: Oven safe to 450°F. Not for use under the broiler.
- Warranty: Lifetime Warranty (U.S. and Canada only) for defects in material and workmanship under normal home use. Hassle-Free Replacement Warranty is also offered.
Usage Features:
- Initial Setup: Before first use, wash the pan in warm, sudsy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. A thoroughly clean baking surface is crucial for optimal performance.
- Pan Preparation: Prepare the pan according to recipe instructions. Grease and flour if directed, even with the nonstick surface, for best results.
- Cooking Sprays: Spray oils can be used with Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware as the nonstick formula makes them easy to remove. However, DO NOT use spray oils to cook in any Cuisinart cookware items, as they can leave a gummy residue that is difficult to remove and may cause food to stick.
- Preheating: Preheat the oven to the temperature recommended in the recipe. Oven calibration can vary, so monitor food closely during the first few uses to adjust baking temperature or time as needed.
- Utensils: Use only nylon, wood, or coated utensils to prevent scratches and maintain the bakeware's appearance and performance. Metal utensils will damage the nonstick surface over time.
- Slicing/Cutting: Always remove food from the pan before slicing or cutting to protect the nonstick surface.
- Food Release: The nonstick surface ensures foods are removed cleanly and completely.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Hand-washing is recommended after every use. The bakeware can be cleaned in the dishwasher if necessary. Allow the pan to cool before placing it in water to prevent warping, sudden steaming, and hot water spattering.
- Washing: Use a sponge or dishcloth with hot, sudsy water to remove food from both the baking surface and exterior.
- Burned-on Spots: For stubborn spots caused by high baking temperatures, use Soft Scrub® and a soft nylon or nylon-covered cleaning pad. Maintaining a clean exterior free of grease and food stains helps preserve the pan's appearance.
- Insulated Bakeware: DO NOT IMMERSE OR SOAK insulated bakeware, as it is designed to "breathe" and is not watertight. Soaking can cause water to collect in the airspace between layers. If water collects, dry the pan upside down in a 250°F oven for 30 minutes.
- Abrasives Warning: DO NOT USE abrasive cleansers or cleaning pads, oven cleaners or other caustic solutions, baking soda, or dishwasher detergent, as these will damage the surface and void the Lifetime Warranty.
- Storage: DO NOT stack or nest bakeware items without a protective layer to prevent scratches on nonstick surfaces.
- Wear: Like any bakeware, Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware will show wear after continued use, but this will not affect its performance.
