Non-stick Cooking Surface Locking LidENGLISH

9. The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 3-7 minutes. During this time, you

may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues burning o the Cooking Surface and the Heating Element.

HELPFUL TIPS NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

1. Tortillas are recommended for use in your DELUXE 10-INCH QUESADILLA

MAKER. Make sure they are fresh tortillas, not old nor stale.

2. Make sure llings are evenly distributed on the bottom tortilla to

about ½ inch from the edge, so that the edges of the tortilla can seal together and ingredients stay inside of tortillas.

3. Use soft ingredients: shredded cheeses, prepared salsa, and thinly cut or

shredded cooked meat, chicken and vegetables. Never use anything with bones or pits included, nor anything uncooked such as raw meats, chicken, etc.

4. Avoid processed cheeses as they liquefy quickly and will drain out of the quesadilla.

5. Do not use more than ¼ cup of shredded cheese or ½ cup of salsa,

as they will leak out while cooking your quesadilla.

6. The average time for cooking a quesadilla, if not overlled, is 3-7 minutes.

7. Crisping of the tortilla occurs while cooking. Therefore, less time cooked = less crisping.

8. Longer cooking will create a crispier quesadilla. DO NOT overcook quesadilla.

9. NEVER force the Lid to lock, this could result in damage to the hinge of the Lid.

10. Should melting occur that causes leakage of the tortillas, gently wipe up melted

cheese, etc. from the Non-stick Cooking Surface before cooking the next quesadilla. This will prevent burning or scorching of previously melted cheeses, etc.

11. You can reheat previously cooked quesadillas by placing the quesadilla

on the preheated unit, lining up the grill marks on the quesadilla with the Plate Pockets, lowering the Lid, and reheating for 1-3 minutes.

12. Always allow the appliance to cool before wiping out the interior for cleaning.

13. Your quesadilla has been over-lled if it looks like this:

No Indentation From Plate Pockets Tortillas Do Not Seal

14. To prevent over-lling, make sure that you do not ll

Inner Rim Do Not Fill to This Point

15. Also, make sure that Lid is locked in correct position (see How

To Operate) to ensure that tortillas seal properly. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Please take care of your DELUXE 10-INCH QUESADILLA MAKER by following these simple instructions and precautions. Cleaning is a snap.

• Disconnect from the electrical outlet by unplugging the appliance.

• Wipe the Non-stick Cooking Surface with a damp, non-abrasive cloth or paper towel and dry.

• Wipe the exterior with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry. It is that simple. Remember to periodically coat the Cooking Surface with vegetable oil to preserve the non-stick nish. This also helps the crisping process.ENGLISH
