Operating Instructions
This appliance features indicator lights: the red light indicates power, and the green light indicates that the appliance is preheating or has reached the desired temperature.
General Operation:
- Ensure the correct plates are installed and securely locked.
- Close the appliance and plug it into a 220V power outlet. The red power indicator light will illuminate.
- Allow the appliance to preheat. The green 'ready' indicator light will turn on when the desired temperature is reached. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Once preheated, open the appliance using the cool-touch handle.
- Place your food onto the bottom plate. Do not overfill.
- Close the appliance and gently press down on the handle to engage the locking mechanism.
- Cook for the recommended time (see specific instructions below). The green light may cycle on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains temperature.
- Once cooking is complete, open the appliance and carefully remove the food using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
- Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Specific Uses:
- Sandwiches: Use the sandwich plates. For best results, lightly butter the outside of the bread. Place two slices of bread with your desired filling onto the bottom plate. Close and cook for approximately 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Waffles: Use the waffle plates. Prepare your waffle batter. Pour the batter onto the preheated bottom plate, filling about two-thirds of the mold. Close and cook for approximately 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Grilling: Use the grill plates. Lightly brush the plates with cooking oil if desired. Place meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables onto the preheated bottom plate. Close and cook according to your recipe and desired doneness.
