Setup and First Use

4. First Heating (Conditioning):
   • With the desired plates installed, close the appliance and plug it into a 220V power outlet.
   • The red indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the appliance is heating.
   • Allow the appliance to heat for approximately 5-10 minutes until the green "ready" indicator light illuminates.
   • During this initial heating, a slight odor or smoke may be emitted. This is normal and will dissipate. Ensure adequate ventilation.
   • Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely. Wipe the plates with a clean, damp cloth. The appliance is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Prepare your sandwiches, waffle batter, grill items, or cookie dough.
2. Preheat: Ensure the correct plates are installed. Close the appliance and plug it into a 220V power outlet. The red light will turn on. Wait for the green "ready" light to illuminate, indicating the appliance has reached the optimal cooking temperature.
3. Cooking:
   • Carefully open the appliance using the thermo-insulated handles.
   • Place your food onto the bottom heating plate. For best results, you may lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or a small amount of oil, especially for waffles or if using the grill function for items prone to sticking. The non-stick coating is designed to minimize this need.
   • Close the appliance firmly. Do not force it shut if the food is too thick.
   • The red light may turn on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
   • Cook for the recommended time for your recipe or until desired doneness is achieved.

5. After Use: Unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
