Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Wash the glass carafe, reusable coffee filter, griddle, griddle lid, wire racks, and oven tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to allow for proper ventilation.
4. First Use (Burn-off): Before first use, operate the toaster oven and griddle without food for approximately 10-15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Operating Instructions

This section details how to use each function of your 3-in-1 Breakfast Station.

A. Coffee Maker Operation

1. Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of water (up to 5 cups).
2. Pour the water into the coffee maker's water reservoir.
3. Place the reusable filter into the filter basket and add ground coffee.
4. Place the glass carafe on the warming plate.
5. Flip the "COFFEEMAKER" switch to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. Coffee will begin to brew. Once brewing is complete, the coffee maker will keep the coffee warm.
7. To turn off, flip the "COFFEEMAKER" switch to the "OFF" position.

B. Toaster Oven Operation

1. Place food items (e.g., bread slices, small pizzas) on the wire rack or oven tray.
2. Slide the rack/tray into the toaster oven.
3. Turn the "TEMP" dial to the desired temperature setting (e.g., 210°F - 450°F).
4. Turn the "TIMER" dial to the desired cooking time (0-60 minutes). The oven will begin heating.
5. When the timer reaches zero, the oven will turn off automatically.
6. Carefully remove food using oven mitts.

Note: The toaster oven does not have a separate on/off switch; it activates when the timer is set.

C. Griddle Operation

1. Ensure the griddle is properly seated on top of the toaster oven.
2. Preheat the griddle by turning on the toaster oven to a desired temperature. The griddle heats from the toaster oven's elements.
3. Once preheated, add a small amount of cooking oil or butter if needed.
4. Place food items (e.g., eggs, bacon, pancakes) onto the griddle surface.
5. Use the glass lid to cover the griddle if desired, to help cook food evenly and reduce splatter.
6. Monitor food and cook until desired doneness.
7. When finished, turn off the toaster oven by setting the timer to zero.
