Operation

Before First Use

• Safely remove and discard all promotional labels.
• Clean the slots and plates with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly.
• Grease the plates before use according to the "Care, Cleaning, and Storage" section.

Operating Your Appliance

1. Insert the power cord into a socket. The appliance is ready for use.
2. The "POWER" light will turn red, the control panel will show a rotating loop "", and the appliance will start preheating.
3. Once preheating is finished, the "POWER" light will remain on, and the "READY" light will turn green. The machine will beep 3 times to alert you that preheating has finished, and the information "00" will flash continuously on the panel.
4. Press the lid open button and open it using the handle. Pour the recommended amount of batter/ingredients evenly into the center of each slot. The total volume of batter/ingredients must not exceed the edge of the slot. Note: Do not overfill the slots. 1/3 cup is the maximum recommended amount of batter for good cooking.
5. Set the required cooking time using the increase and decrease timer buttons. Select a time between 30 seconds and 10 minutes. The timer setting is represented in half-minute increments (e.g., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 minutes).
6. The time display will stop flashing to indicate that the timer is counting down.
7. Note: The "POWER" and "READY" lights will continue to turn on and off to indicate that the machine is maintaining the correct temperature.
8. The timer will count down in 0.5-minute intervals, displaying the remaining cooking time. When it reaches 1 minute, it will count down in seconds until the cooking time is over.
9. When the cooking time is over, the unit will beep 5 times, and the LED panel will display "00". Note: Never use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
10. Open the lid and carefully remove the pancakes or snacks with a heat-resistant silicone spatula.
11. To cook another batch, close the lid and wait for the "READY" light to turn on. Repeat steps 4 to 9 until you have the desired number of pancakes or snacks.

Notes

• The lid must always remain closed and locked.
• When using the machine for the first time, you may notice a fine mist of steam/smoke. This is caused by some components heating up and is normal.
• Making simple pancakes takes approximately 2 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on the filling. To maintain even heat, keep the lid closed until you are ready for the next batch.

Warnings

• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.
• Some steam will be released between the cooking plates when the lid is closed. Be careful not to come into contact with the steam, as it may cause burns.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning

• Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is turned off and unplugged from the power socket.
• Let the machine cool down before cleaning. However, it is easier to clean when it is still slightly warm.
• Always clean your machine after each use to prevent the accumulation of cooked food residue.
• Wipe the plates with a soft, damp cloth to remove food residue.
• WARNING: Do not immerse any part of the pancake and snack machine or the power cord in water or any other liquid.

PFOA-free Non-stick Coating

Cooking on a non-stick surface reduces the need for oil, as food does not stick and cleaning is easier. Any discoloration that may occur will only affect the appliance's appearance and not its cooking performance. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use steel scouring pads or other abrasive products. Wash with warm water and soap and dry thoroughly. Remove stubborn residues with a damp cloth.

Grease the Plates

Grease the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and facilitate cleaning. Brush the cooking plates with a little vegetable oil and remove excess with absorbent paper. Perform this procedure after preheating the unit.

Do not use spray on non-stick coatings, as it will affect the performance of the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.

NOTE: The cooking plates, hinges, and slots are coated with a non-stick surface; do not use abrasive products on them.

Storage

To store your machine:

1. Ensure the appliance is turned off by removing the power cord from the socket.
2. Let the appliance cool down completely and clean it according to the instructions. Close the lid.
3. Wind the power cord into the storage area on the base.
4. Store the machine on a flat, dry surface. Do not store anything on top of the baking plates. The machine can be stored upright to save space.

WARNING: The handle is designed to open and close the machine during cooking. It must not be used to move or transport the machine. When moving your pancake and snack machine, let it cool completely and transport it by holding the base.

Troubleshooting and Repair

In case of malfunction, please take the appliance to an authorized Technical Assistance Service. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance, as this may be dangerous.
