3. Safety Instructions

• Heat Safety: Do not use the product directly over an open flame or any direct heat source (e.g., stovetop burner).
• Microwave Use: Do not use the grill function of your microwave when cooking with this product.
• Oven Use: When using a traditional oven, place the mold in the lower part of the oven.
• Steam Warning: Exercise caution when opening the mold after cooking, as hot steam may escape and cause burns.
• Sharp Objects: Avoid using sharp objects (knives, metal utensils) inside the mold to prevent damage to the silicone.
• Maximum Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 28 fluid ounces (0.8 liters) to prevent overflow during cooking.

4. Setup

1. Initial Cleaning: Before its first use, wash the Lekue Spanish Omelet/Frittata Maker thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
2. First Use Preparation: For the first few uses, lightly grease the inside surfaces of the mold with a small amount of cooking oil to ensure easy unmolding. This step may not be necessary after initial uses due to the silicone's natural non-stick properties.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Spanish omelets, frittatas, or other dishes using the Lekue maker:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Prepare your desired ingredients (e.g., beaten eggs, sliced potatoes, vegetables, cheese).
2. Fill the Mold: Open the Lekue maker and add your ingredients into one of the circular compartments. Ensure ingredients do not overfill the mold, respecting the 28 fluid ounce maximum capacity.

5. Flip the Mold: Carefully remove the mold from the microwave, holding it by the handles. Without opening it, gently press down on the top of the mold to remove any trapped air. Then, using the handles, carefully turn the mold over to cook the other side.
6. Second Cooking Phase: Return the flipped mold to the microwave and cook for the remaining time specified in your recipe.
7. Remove and Serve: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the mold from the microwave. Allow it to cool for a few seconds before opening. Open the mold, being cautious of hot steam. Gently slide your cooked dish onto a plate and serve.
