This is normal and is actually necessary to produce the waffle's crispy exterior and moist interior.

Serve and enjoy: Serve the freshly cooked waffles while warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fruits, or whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful waffle experience! Excess batter will rise into the fill spout creating an extra piece. This extra piece may be easily removed for serving.

Preheat the waffle maker: Plug in the Cuisinart Waffle Maker and select the desired temperature setting. Allow it to preheat until the indicator light turns on or off, indicating it has reached the desired temperature. Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting – select #1 for the lightest shade of waffle and #5 for the darkest shade. We recommend setting #3 for a golden brown waffle.

Dry thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure that all components of the waffle maker are dehydrated before reassembling or storing it. Moisture can lead to mold or damage to the unit.

Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting #3 for golden brown waffles. Prepare the waffle batter: While the waffle maker [ 1] is preheating, prepare your waffle batter according to your favorite recipe. Ensure the batter is well-mixed and free of lumps. Close the waffle maker: Close the lid gently, allowing the waffle maker to press the batter evenly across the plates. Do not apply excessive force, as this can affect the texture of the waffle.
