IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use the heat-resistant handle.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact consumer support at the toll-free number listed in the warranty section.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food.
• To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet. Do not yank on the cord.
• Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• When using the appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for circulation.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
  • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Note
If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

ATTACHING THE PLATES

Important
Never power on this appliance without both cooking plates securely attached.

Caution
Attach plates when the appliance is cool.

1. To attach the top plate, insert the longer tabs into the slots closest to the hinge. Press down gently until the plate snaps into place.
2. Securely attach the bottom plate using the technique described in Step 1.

PREPARATION

Note
Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on the plates.

1. Set the appliance on a stable, level, heatproof surface.
2. Close the lid and plug the cord into the outlet.
3. The red power light will come on as long as the appliance is connected to the electricity supply.
4. The green ready light will come on when the elements reach the correct cooking temperature, then cycle on and off with the thermostat.
5. Wait till the green light comes on before starting to cook.

MAKING TOASTIES (sandwich plates)

CAUTION
Don’t use raw meat of any kind in the appliance. All fillings must be safe and ready to eat before cooking.

1. Cut 4 slices of bread to overlap the plates by about 1/4 inch (0.5cm) on all sides. Fresh sliced bread is best.
2. Spread butter/margarine thinly on each slice. Don’t use low-fat spread. Low fat spreads may burn, damaging the non-stick surfaces.
3. Toasties are made buttered side out. Put 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the bottom toasting plate.
4. Press the bread gently into the hollows in the toasting plate with a wooden spoon.
5. Fill the hollows formed in the bread with two level teaspoons of filling per toastie. More than that amount may cause the filling to ooze out.
6. Lay a slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of each of the filled slices.
7. Close the lid, squeeze the handles together, and press in the latch.
8. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the outside of the bread turns golden brown.
9. If the toasties stick, use a plastic or wooden spatula to release them.

GRILLING (ribbed plates)

1. Cut the food to be grilled no more than 3/8 inch (10mm) thick.
2. Wipe the grill plates with a little cooking oil or butter. Don’t use low-fat spread – it may burn onto the grill.
3. Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers. Don’t use anything metal or sharp, you’ll damage the non-stick surfaces.
4. Close the grill. Don’t use the latch.
5. Allow time for the food to cook and check for doneness after 5 minutes. Continue to cook until done. Times will vary depending on the type of food.

Please note
To ensure meat is fully cooked, the USDA recommends: Using a meat thermometer by inserting it into the center of the meat. Make sure it’s not touching bone, fat, or gristle. The safe minimum internal temperature for beef, veal, pork, and lamb (pieces and whole cuts) is 145˚F (63˚C). Then allow the meat to rest for three minutes before cutting or consuming. Ground meat should be cooked to 160˚F (72˚C). Poultry should be cooked to 165˚F (74˚C). Ground meat and poultry don’t require rest time.

WAFFLES (waffle plates)

1. Prepare the batter.
2. Pour about 3 Tbsp. (40ml) of the mixture over each half of the bottom plate.
3. Close the grill. Don’t use the latch.
4. Grill the waffles until golden brown (check after 3 minutes).

CARE AND CLEANING
