Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the Roti Maker from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. Dry thoroughly.
- Placement: Place the Roti Maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 220-240V ~ 50/60 Hz electrical outlet. The "Power On" indicator lamp will illuminate.
- Preheating: Close the lid and allow the Roti Maker to preheat for approximately 5-7 minutes. The "Ready" indicator lamp will illuminate when the desired temperature is reached. During first use, a slight odor or smoke may be observed; this is normal and will dissipate.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to make perfect rotis or chapatis:
- Prepare Dough: Ensure your roti or chapati dough is prepared according to your recipe. Form small, uniform balls of dough.
- Preheat: Ensure the Roti Maker is preheated and the "Ready" indicator lamp is illuminated.
- Place Dough: Open the lid using the lifting handle. Place one dough ball in the center of the lower non-stick heating plate.
- Press: Gently close the upper heating plate onto the dough ball using the lifting handle. Apply light, even pressure for a few seconds to flatten the dough into a round shape. Do not press too hard or for too long, as this can affect the texture.
- Cook: Allow the roti to cook for approximately 30-60 seconds on one side. The automatic temperature control will maintain the optimal cooking heat.
- Flip (Optional): For a more evenly cooked roti, you may gently lift the lid and flip the roti using a non-metallic spatula. Close the lid and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
- Puffing: The Roti Maker is designed to help rotis puff. If the roti does not puff immediately, you can gently press the top plate down for a second or two to encourage puffing.
- Remove: Once cooked to your preference, carefully open the lid and remove the roti using a non-metallic spatula. Place it in a serving dish or insulated container to keep warm.
- Repeat: Close the lid to maintain heat and repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Roti Maker.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the Roti Maker from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Clean Cooking Plates: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, use 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.
- Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth.
- Storage: Once clean and dry, wrap the power cord around the cord wrap feature. Store the Roti Maker in a dry place.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the Roti Maker, its cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Roti Maker does not heat up. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; appliance malfunction. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Roti does not puff. | Dough consistency incorrect; not enough pressure applied; Roti Maker not fully preheated. | Adjust dough consistency (ensure it's soft and pliable). Apply gentle, even pressure when pressing. Ensure the "Ready" light is on before placing dough. |
| Roti sticks to the plates. | Non-stick coating damaged; plates not clean; dough too sticky. | Ensure plates are clean before use. Lightly grease plates with a small amount of oil if necessary (though generally not needed for non-stick). Adjust dough consistency. |
| Smoke or odor during first use. | Protective coatings burning off. | This is normal for initial use and will dissipate. Ensure good ventilation. If smoke persists after initial use, unplug and contact support. |
