OPERATION

Before first use

Safely remove and discard all promotional labels, clean the slots and the plates with a damp cloth, and dry them thoroughly.

WARNING: Fully unwind the power cord from the cord reel integrated in the base before use.

Grease the plates before use, according to the instructions in the “Care, Cleaning, and Storage” section of this manual.

Operating your appliance

Make sure that the baking plates are clean and free of dust. Clean with a damp cloth. Place the machine on a flat, level surface in a closed position.

Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 20 cm on all sides of the machine. Make sure there are no items on top of the machine.

Insert the power cord into a socket. The pancake and snack machine will be in Standby mode and the panel will show 2 dashes.

Press the START/CANCEL button to start preheating. The "POWER" light will turn red and the panel will display a rotating loop "during preheating."

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.

NOTE: If you do not use the unit within 30 seconds of the initial preheat, the unit will continue preheating for another 20 minutes, with the panel displaying the rotating loop. The “POWER” light will remain on and the “READY” light will flash. If after 20 minutes you still haven’t set the baking time on the machine, it will automatically turn off. The machine will beep 5 times, stop heating and 2 dashes “- -” will appear in the panel. Eventually, both the “POWER” and the “READY” lights will turn off, indicating that heating has stopped.

Open the lid and pour the 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 pancake batter to cook well.

Set the required cooking time using the increase and decrease buttons on the timer.

Select a time between 1 and 15 minutes.

Press the button to start cooking.

The time will stop flashing to indicate that the timer is counting down.

During this period, the “POWER” light will remain on, while the “READY” light will turn green.

NOTE: The “POWER” and “READY” lights will keep turning on and off to indicate that the machine is maintaining the correct temperature.

The timer will count down in 1-minute intervals, showing the remaining cooking time on the LED panel. When it reaches 1 minute, it will count down the seconds until the cooking time is over.

When the cooking time is over, the machine will beep 5 times and go into Standby mode. The LED panel will flash displaying “— —”. The “POWER” and “READY” lights will turn off, indicating that heating has stopped.

Open the lid and carefully remove the pancakes/

snacks with the help of a silicone spatula. Never use metal tongs or knives, as these can damage the non-stick coating.

If you wish to add more batter/ingredients to make a new batch, repeat steps 4 to 6.

When you are done cooking, press the START/CANCEL button and remove the power cord from the socket.

A BIT MORE

After the initial cooking time, you may wish to cook your pancakes/snacks a little longer.

Press the ‘A BIT MORE’ button to quickly and easily add another 30 seconds to a cooking cycle.

The ‘ A BIT MORE’ function can be used immediately after the end of the initial cooking cycle; An additional 30 seconds will appear in the panel. The “POWER” and “READY” lights will turn on.

NOTE

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 of the components heating up. There is no need to worry.

Making simple pancakes takes about 2 minutes. The exact cooking time will depend on the filling used. To keep the heat even, keep the lid closed until you are ready to add the next batch.

WARNINGS

The temperature of the machine's exposed surfaces may be high when it is switched on.

Some steam will come out from between the baking plates when the lid is closed. Be careful not to come in contact with the steam, as it may cause burns.

CARE, CLEANING AND STORAGE

Before cleaning, make sure the appliance is turned off and remove the power cord from the socket.

Let the machine cool down before cleaning it. However, it is easier to clean when it is still slightly warm. Always clean your machine after each use to avoid accumulating 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 ^1

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the need for oil, as food does not stick and cleaning becomes easier. Any discoloration that may occur will only affect the machine's appearance and will not impact the 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 the toughest residues using a damp cloth.

Grease the plates

Grease the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier. To grease, brush the baking plates with some vegetable oil and remove the excess with absorbent paper. Do 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 baking plates.

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

STORAGE

To store your machine:

1. Check that 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 it. When moving your pancake and snack machine, let it cool completely and transport it by holding the base.

ANOMALIES 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.
