Operating Instructions

General Operation

1. Preheat: Close the lid and plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet. The red indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating.
2. Ready Indicator: Once the appliance reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the green indicator light will illuminate. This typically takes about 30 seconds.
3. Prepare Food: Open the lid using the cool-touch handle. Lightly grease the non-stick plates with cooking spray or butter if desired, though the non-stick surface often makes this unnecessary. Place your ingredients onto the lower plate.
4. Cook: Close the lid and gently press down the handle to engage the safety lock. The red light may cycle on and off during cooking to maintain temperature.
5. Monitor: Cooking times vary depending on the type of food and desired crispness. For most items, cooking takes approximately 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove Food: Once cooked, open the lid and carefully remove the food using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
7. Unplug: After use, unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
