Visual Description: The Tristar RA2996 is a compact electric grill/griddle appliance. It features a main body with a heating element, a removable grill plate, and two small, detachable baking pans that fit underneath the grill plate. A temperature control knob is located on the side or front.

• 3. Heat up indicator: A small light that indicates when the appliance is heating up or has reached the set temperature.

Before First Use

• Take the appliance and accessories out of the box. Remove all stickers, protective foil, or plastic from the device.
• Place the device on a flat, stable surface, ensuring at least 10 cm of free space around it. This device is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or for outdoor use.
• Plug the power cable into the socket. (Note: Ensure the voltage indicated on the device matches your local voltage before connecting. Voltage: 220V-240V~ 50/60Hz).
• Turn the thermostat clockwise to the highest setting and allow the device to heat for at least 5 minutes without food.
• A slight odor may occur when the device is turned on for the first time. This is normal; ensure adequate ventilation. This smell is temporary and will fade soon.
• The indicator light will stay on when the thermostat is set to maximum. It will only go out when the thermostat is set to a lower level and the desired temperature has been reached.

Use

• Grease the griddle and the pans with a little oil.
• Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
• During cooking, any bits of food left behind should be removed immediately to prevent them from sticking onto the plate.
• The grill plate has a round recessed part that can be used for baking eggs or crepes.
• Never put frozen food on the grill plate, as the heat shock could damage the plate.
• Never place an empty pan on the reflective surface under the grill plate.
• The pans can also be used to cook meat, provided it is sliced thinly.
• Never move the grill plate when it is still hot, as you could get burned.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down completely.
• Wipe the inside and edges of the appliance with a paper towel or a soft cloth.
• Do not clean the inside or outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• The baking plate and pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher after they have cooled down completely. However, hand washing the accessories with warm soapy water will help to extend the product's durability.
