Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: Plug the appliance into a 110-120V power outlet. The red indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is powered on. Allow the appliance to preheat until the green indicator light illuminates, indicating it is ready for cooking.
2. Temperature Control: Use the dial on the front of the unit to select a temperature setting from 0 (off) to 5 (highest). Adjust according to your recipe and desired browning.
3. Cooking:
   • Lightly grease the non-stick plates with cooking spray or butter if desired, though the non-stick coating generally prevents sticking.
   • Place your food (sandwich, waffle batter, meat, etc.) onto the bottom plate.
   • Close the lid and secure the cool-touch locking handle.
   • Cook for the recommended time or until desired doneness is achieved. The green light may cycle on and off during cooking to maintain temperature.
4. After Cooking: Carefully open the lid using the cool-touch handle. Use a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil to remove your cooked food.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the red indicator light is on.
