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 used filling. 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 AND CLEANING

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

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.
