Operating Instructions
- Plug In: Plug the electric cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
- Turn On: Locate the on/off switch on the side of the main heating unit and switch it to the 'ON' position. The heating element will begin to warm up.
- Roast Marshmallows: Place a marshmallow onto one of the provided stainless steel roasting forks. Hold the marshmallow directly over the heating element. Rotate the marshmallow slowly to ensure even toasting.
- Assemble S'mores: Once the marshmallow is toasted to your preference, place it onto a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate. Allow the heat from the marshmallow to slightly melt the chocolate before adding the top graham cracker.
- Enjoy: Your delicious indoor s'mores are ready to enjoy!

Important Considerations
- No Indicator Light: The on/off switch does not have an indicator light. Ensure the unit is unplugged when not in use to confirm it is off.
- Grate Placement: The stainless steel grate simply rests on top of the heating unit and does not have a locking mechanism. Exercise caution, especially around children, to prevent accidental displacement.
- Short Power Cord: The unit's power cord is relatively short. An extension cord may be necessary depending on your setup location.
- Roasting Time: Toasting marshmallows may take slightly longer compared to an open flame. For best results, hold the marshmallow in one spot until it begins to brown, then rotate.
- Hot Surface: The heating element and grate become very hot during operation. Avoid direct contact and supervise children closely.
