I received a Cuisinart Pizzelle Iron WM-PZ2 as a gift a couple years ago as a gift (approx. $50) and attemted to use it for the first time couple nights ago. I set the heat to a 3 (range of 1-5) and followed the directions to let it pre-heat. The light started red and when the green light turns on it is ready to use. For me the red light turned off when it was hot and the green light never turned on, assuming the bulb was burnt out I proceeded according to the directions. After 20-30 seconds of having the pizzelle dough on it started smoking and the pizzelle was burnt and black. I unplugged the pizzelle maker and let it cool. I tried again 30 minutes later and it would not heat at all. I would like to fix it because it is a brand new $50 pizzelle iron. Is there anything I can do to repair it?

Some irons have one light that indicates that the heating element is on. I think that the Saulton iron has two lights. One light indicates that the iron is plugged in. The second light indicates that the heating element is on. You should wait until the second light goes off before trying to bake the first pizzelle. The second light will turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the heat. The cooking time depends on the pizzelle iron that you use. A good iron can bake a pizzelle in 30 seconds. The Salton iron WM8PZL takes up to 90 seconds for each cycle. Check the pizzelles after 30 seconds. The first pizzelles are seldom good. Experiment with the baking times to get the baking time right. After that keep up a steady pace to produce consistent results.
Early pizzelle irons were heated over open fires and made good pizzelles so with some practice you will be able to make pizzelles too.

You are out of luck as this is an old problem the season is long past. I am fairly shure that Toastmaster no longer makes this Pizzelle iron. A better solution is an American made Pizzelle Iron by C.Palmer Built like a tank and will probably outlast you. I wouldn't buy a non stick appliance from anyone as the coating is easily damaged. http://www.cpalmermfg.com/products/Pizzelle-Maker.html
