The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is normal, and will soon stop. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation. During use the heating element will switch on and off to keep the temperature of the baking plate constant. The green indicator light will also turn on and off. This does not indicate a defect. ATTENTION: Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use. Fumes released from the non- stick coating are harmful to birds. OPERATION - Preheating
