3. Setup and First Use

Before using your Roti Maker for the first time, follow these steps:

4. Plug the Roti Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The red indicator light will illuminate.

1. Prepare Dough: Ensure your dough is of a soft, pliable consistency. The ideal dough consistency is crucial for best results.
2. Preheat: Plug in the Roti Maker and set the temperature control knob. Wait for the green indicator light to turn on, indicating it has reached the optimal cooking temperature.
3. Place Dough: Open the Roti Maker and place a small, round ball of dough (approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter) slightly off-center towards the back of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Press: Gently close the top plate and press down on the handle for 1-2 seconds to flatten the dough into a round shape. Do not press excessively hard or for too long, as this can damage the appliance or result in uneven cooking.
5. Cook: Release the handle and allow the roti to cook. The non-stick plates ensure even heat distribution. The roti will begin to cook and may puff up. Cooking time varies based on dough type and desired crispness.
6. Flip (Optional): For some recipes, you may wish to flip the roti once during cooking using a non-metallic spatula.
7. Remove: Once cooked to your preference, carefully remove the roti using a non-metallic utensil.
8. Keep Warm: Place the cooked roti in the provided roti warmer to keep it soft and warm until serving.

Tips for Best Results:

• Experiment with dough consistency and temperature settings to find what works best for your specific recipe.
• Ensure the Roti Maker is fully preheated before placing dough.
• Do not overload the Roti Maker with too much dough.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Roti Maker.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Cooking Plates: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a soft sponge with a small amount of mild dish soap, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, metal utensils, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior stainless steel housing with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Storage: Once clean and dry, wrap the cord around the cord wrap at the base of the appliance. Store the Roti Maker in a dry place.
