Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Clean the cooking plates as described in the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section.
3. Plate Installation:
   • Ensure the appliance is unplugged and cool.
   • Select the desired cooking plates (waffle, sandwich, or grill).
   • Align the plates with the slots on the upper and lower heating elements.
   • Gently press down until the plates click securely into place. Ensure both plates are firmly installed before use.
4. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal performance:

1. Preheating:
   • Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet. The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating.
   • Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting. For most items, a medium to high setting is recommended.
   • Allow the appliance to preheat for approximately 1 minute, or until the green indicator light illuminates (if present and indicating readiness).
2. Cooking:
   • Once preheated, carefully open the lid.
   • Lightly grease the non-stick plates with cooking oil or spray, if desired, to prevent sticking and enhance browning.
   • Place your food (waffle batter, sandwich, meat, etc.) onto the lower plate. Do not overfill.
   • Close the lid gently. The floating hinge design accommodates thicker foods.
   • Cook for the recommended time (e.g., 5-8 minutes for waffles, or until desired browning is achieved). Monitor the cooking process to prevent overcooking.
   • Use heat-resistant, non-metallic utensils to remove cooked food to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
3. Temperature Control: Adjust the 5-gear temperature knob to achieve different levels of browning and cooking for various foods. Lower settings are suitable for lighter browning, while higher settings provide crispier results.
4. After Use: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob to "OFF" and unplug the appliance. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
