Once you have finished baking, remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool. Never take your waffle maker 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 batter 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 minutes, thus allowing it to soften for easy removal. To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.
When waffle making is completed, simply store your maker with the cord wrapped securely around base. Plug prongs fit into the special grooves on the side of the waffle maker. For compact storage, stand waffle maker on opening end so Cuisinart logo is facing you. The waffle maker has been designed with a special latching feature so the lid stays closed during storage.
Cuisinart recommends the heat setting #3 for golden brown waffles. If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control to setting #4 or 5. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and close the cover. We recommend using 1/2 cup batter per waffle for evenly filled waffles. Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F 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 a toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

It seems like most waffle makers these days are for Belgian waffles with the big/deep pockets. Those are fine, but my family really like the waffles from Waffle House and those have much smaller pockets on them. (American style). This isn't quite the same level, but it's much closer and the results were great.Cooking and cleaning were super easy. The smaller pockets means that it's easier to clean because it doesn't have those deep crevices to get into. Cooking is also faster with these and we got some good crisp on the outside that was perfect.One thing this waffle doesn't have is anything beyond barebones features. I guess there is a slider for cooking/temperature, but I just leave it in the middle. But there is no buffer, handle, or protective system in place around the unit which means it's ridiculously easy to burn yourself or someone if you're not careful. This is a plus in that the unit is smaller and is easy to store, but usually that extra bulk provides some safety from the outside getting too hot. Hopefully I just get used to it, but the best way to treat it is like a piping hot pan without a handle. You're not moving this or picking it up without gloves/towel/mitts or until it's been off a while. This might not be an issue for most, but with other waffle makers I have been able to move it to the side while cooking other things or turn it towards me if I'm needing to tend to it while multitasking. Not so with this hot iron as there really isn't much to touch that isn't scorching.
This was a budget friendly waffle maker with heat adjustable setting and glad I got it. Easy to store in a cupboard. I tried to make waffles for the first time and it came out fairly decent and was easy to remove from the pan. It does leak out if you overpour and I could not get the shape right in the beginning. Ideal for people who don't make waffles much like me as cleaning this is not easy. It takes time for the outside to cool down. Also there is no latch for the lids to remain closed when storing so that's a bit annoying.
