Product Image Description

The product image shows a black electric cheese melter with a tilted heating element and a cheese holder. A wedge of cheese is placed on the holder, ready to be melted and scraped off. The Nutrichef logo is visible on the base.

Two diagrams illustrate the operation: one shows the cheese holder positioned under the heating element, and the second shows the melted cheese being scraped off the wedge.

Before using for the first time, operate the appliance for 10 minutes without any food to remove the "new" scent. A small amount of smoke may be noticeable. Ventilate the room during this period.

Using

1. Do not power ON first.
2. Move out the cheese holder, fix the cheese on the cheese holder, then move the cheese holder under the electric heater. Now you can power ON the appliance.
3. You can move up and down the cheese rack to adjust melting temperature. It can also be controlled by the thermostat.
4. After fixing the cheese and adjusting the height, you can turn ON the switch to operate.
5. Grilling time depends on the user.
6. Please cut down the cheese after reaching the requirement.
