POLARIZED PLUG

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.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long extension cord is used:
   • a) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   • b) I f the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type wire cord.
   • c) 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.

HOW TO USE

This appliance is intended for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and plastic band around the power plug.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

1. Remove the cooking grids by pressing down on the grid clips at the front of the unit and sliding the grids forward and out. Wash them with hot water and dish soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and replace them in the unit. When replacing the grids, be sure the lip of each grid fits into the notch at the back of the unit and that each is securely clipped into place before plugging in and operating. Grids should have matching surfaces.
2. IMPORTANT: Condition the non-stick cooking surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil before first use. Do not use non-stick cooking spray to “condition.” Brush the oil onto the cooking surfaces or wipe on with a paper towel. Be sure to coat the cooking surfaces as this will reduce sticking. Wipe off excess oil with paper towels. The first waffle may absorb excess oil and appear greasy. If so, discard it.

BAKING WAFFLES

1. Be sure the Cooking Grids are securely attached with the waffle sides showing. Close the unit and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Turn the control knob to WAFFLES. The signal light (A) will come on to indicate the unit is heating. Use the pre-heat time to prepare your batter (see “Recipes”). When the signal light goes out (from 5-8 minutes), the unit is ready.
3. Open the unit and pour about 1 cup of batter onto the lower cooking surface. Spread the batter toward the edges using a rubber spatula for even waffles.
4. Carefully close the top. Keep hands away from the unit as steam may escape when baking begins. The signal light will come back on and may cycle on and off during baking. Cooking time is 3-5 minutes depending on the type of batter/ingredients you used. The hinge between the sections is designed to be loose. This allows the waffle to rise evenly and for steam to escape during baking. You may also notice steam moisture on the sides or near the handle. This is normal. Avoid opening the unit during baking cycle as it may cause the waffle to stick or bake poorly.
5. When waffles are done, open the top and remove the waffle using a rubber or wooden spatula. Be careful not to scratch the non-stick finish. You may want to have a plate nearby when removing waffles in case they separate as this unit is designed to semi-cut waffles into 4 sections. If sticking occurs, lightly re-oil the cooking surfaces. You can make additional batches right away — no need to let the unit cool down. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches to preserve heat.
6. When all waffles are baked, turn the control knob to OFF, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it to cool.

GRILLING

This versatile unit is designed for open grilling to prepare griddle-style foods such as pancakes, eggs, or bacon strips, or closed grilling for hamburgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches such as grilled cheese. See the charts for preparation.

1. Be sure the cooking grids are securely attached with the flat grill sides showing. Close the unit and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Depending on the kind of food you’re grilling (such as bacon or chops), you may want to place a small can or container under the grease spouts at the corners to catch grease or drippings from the built-in grease channel.
3. For Closed Grilling: turn the control knob to high and preheat the unit closed for 8-10 minutes until the signal light goes out. Use the charts to help you determine the best setting, depending on the food. Open the unit, place the food on the lower grid, and close the grill.
4. For Open Grilling: close the grill and turn the control knob to high to preheat for 8-10 minutes until the signal l goes out. Use the charts to help you determine food amounts and times. Open the grill and slowly lower down the top half so that it forms a flat, griddle-like cooking surface. (B). If cooking on only one side, place the food on the bottom grid. Watch and turn food as needed. To keep food warm while serving, turn the control knob to LOW.
5. When finished grilling, turn the control knob to OFF, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it to cool.

TIPS

1. To avoid damaging the non-stick surfaces, do not use sharp utensils or cut food on the Grid surfaces. Use rubber or wood utensils.
2. Baked waffles freeze well. Cook all the batter. Cool the waffles and place paper towels between them. Wrap waffles in plastic wrap or freezer bags, and freeze.
3. To keep foods from sticking, you may want to re-oil cooking surfaces before each use or use a cooking spray.

GRILLING

Use the grill in the CLOSED position to press hamburgers or other meats (i.e. chops, Canadian bacon) or as a sandwich maker. Preparing meats in the CLOSED position will help cut down on spatter and speed up cooking times. NOTE that ALL the foods listed for CLOSED grilling can also be prepared in the OPEN (Griddle) position but will take 5 to 10 minutes longer than CLOSED and will require watching and turning for doneness.

RECIPES

QUICK WAFFLES

• 2 eggs
• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

STEAK ‘N VEGGIE SANDWICH

• 1⁄2 lb. (227g) beef round steak
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1 green pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted vegetable oil to lightly coat grids

2. Preheat flat sides of grids on HIGH. Lightly brush grid surfaces with vegetable oil, melt butter on the grid, and spread over the surface.
3. Add green pepper and onion slices. Close the unit and cook 1 minute. Remove vegetables to a bowl.
4. Add meat mixture, spreading evenly over the grid. Close unit and cook for 1 minute. Add meat to vegetables and mix.
5. Place bun halves on overheated flat surfaces to toast (check for color). Divide the mixture over half of each bun and serve immediately.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

1. Unplug and allow the unit to COOL completely before cleaning. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT nor run water directly onto the cooking surfaces.
2. Unclip the Grids and wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT PLACE THEM IN A DISHWASHER. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners on the cooking surfaces as they may damage the non-stick coating. To remove cooked-on food, use a plastic bristle brush or nylon mesh pad. Be sure to clean the handles after each use.
3. Clean the outside surfaces by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Never spray or apply cleaners directly to the unit; instead, apply the cleaner to a cloth and rub on. Rubbing a soft dry cloth or paper towel over the chrome surface after cleaning will restore the shine. Cleaning the outside surfaces after each use will prevent grease from burning onto the chrome and discoloring it.
