OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

Before first use, remove and safely discard any packing material, promotional labels and tape from the omelette maker.

BEFORE FIRST USE

WARNING

Fully unwind power cord from cord storage facility before use.

Check that cooking plates are clean and free of dust. Wipe over with a damp cloth. Place the omelette maker on a flat, level surface with the lid in the closed position.

Ensure there is a minimum distance of 20cm of space on all sides of the omelette maker. Ensure there are no items on top of the omelette maker.

1. Insert power plug into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power on. The omelette maker will enter standby mode and the screen will display ‘- -’.
2. Press the START/CANCEL button to start pre-heating. The 'HEATING' light will illuminate red and the screen will show a rotating loop '[ ]' whilst pre-heating.

NOTE

If pre-heating is not required, press START/CANCEL button and use the timer increase or timer decrease to set a cooking time, then press START/CANCEL button to start immediately or wait 3 seconds for the timer countdown to commence. The 'HEATING' light will illuminate red. An additional 2 minutes will need to be added to the timer when the pre-heat is over-ridden.

1. Once the omelette maker has finished preheating, the 'READY' light will illuminate green, the omelette maker will beep 3 times to alert that the pre-heat has finished and '00' will continuously flash on the screen.

NOTE

The omelette maker will remain ready for use for an additional 20 minutes with the screen continuously flashing '00'. The 'READY' light will continue to cycle on and off to indicate the omelette maker is maintaining the correct temperature. You can set a cooking time during this period. If a cooking time is not set after the additional 20 minutes, the auto-off safety feature will engage. The omelette maker will sound 5 beeps and the screen will display '- -'. Both the 'HEATING' and 'READY' lights will no longer be illuminated, indicating heating has stopped as the omelette maker returns to standby mode.

1. Open the lid and place your ingredients evenly into the centre of each pocket. The total volume of ingredients should not exceed the rim of the bottom cooking pockets.
2. Set your required cooking time using the Timer Increase/Decrease buttons.
3. Press START/CANCEL button to start immediately or cooking will commence automatically after 3 seconds. The time will stop flashing indicating the time is counting down.

NOTE

During cooking, you can adjust the timer by pressing the Timer Increase/Decrease buttons.

NOTE

During cooking, the 'HEATING' and 'READY' lights will continue to cycle on and off to indicate that the omelette maker is maintaining the correct temperature.

NOTE

If the omelette maker has been filled as instructed, the upper lid will lift slightly during cooking as the omelettes approach the end of the cooking cycle. When the lid lifts slightly, continue cooking for around 30 seconds to achieve the best results.

1. When the cooking time has counted down, the omelette maker will beep 5 times and return to standby mode. The LED screen will display ‘- -’. Both the ‘HEATING’ and ‘READY’ light will no longer illuminate indicating heating has stopped as the omelette maker returns to standby mode.
2. Once cooking is complete, open the lid and carefully remove your omelette's with the help of a silicone spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating. Alternatively, to continue making omelette's repeat steps 2-3.
3. You can press the START/CANCEL button at any time during cooking to cancel cooking. The LED screen will display ‘--’. The omelette maker will return to standby mode, switch the omelette maker off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the power outlet.

NOTE

Making a standard omelette should take approximately six to seven minutes. Exact cooking time will depend on the type of filling used. To maintain even heat, keep the lid closed until you are ready to add your next batch of ingredients.

NOTE

At all times the lid must be closed. When using the omelette maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.

WARNING

Steam will be ejected from between the cooking plates when the lid is closed. Be careful not to make contact with the steam as it may cause burns.

WARNING

Fully unwind power cord from cord storage facility before use.

Hints & Tips

• Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.
• Be careful when biting into cooked items containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly. One cup of filling for each cooking pocket is sufficient. Do not overfill the cooking pockets.
• Fewer eggs will be required when using filling in an omelette.
• Eggs should be at room temperature (not from the refrigerator) for best results when making omelettes
• Whisk the eggs with a hand whisk in a large bowl to achieve a well aerated egg mixture.
• For best cooking results, we recommend to season the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier. To season, brush the cooking plates with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper. Do this after pre-heating the unit.
• Thawed ready-rolled pastry is the easiest to use, either in sheets or from a roll.
• To keep the omelette warm, place in an oven proof dish on a rack in a low oven, about 100°C. The omelette will keep warm for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.
• You can cook more than just omelettes in your omelette maker. Make a combination of sweet and savoury snacks such as peach crumbles, brownies, cakes and chicken pies).
  • See recipes in this booklet for great ideas.

Care & Cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure the power is switched off and then remove the power plug from the power outlet.

Allow your omelette maker to cool before cleaning however, the omelette maker is easier to clean when still slightly warm.

Always clean your omelette maker after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates and overflow moat with a soft, damp cloth to remove food residue.

WARNING

Do not immerse any part of the Breville Omelette maker or the power cord in water or any other liquid.

PFOA-FREE NON-STICK COATING

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil as food does not stick and cleaning is easier.

Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the omelette maker and will not affect the cooking performance.

When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Remove stubborn residue using a damp cloth.

NOTE

The cooking plates, hinges and overflow moat are coated with a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.

STORAGE

To store your omelette maker:

1. Ensure the power is off and then unplug power cord from the power outlet.
2. Allow the omelette maker to fully cool.
3. Wrap the power cord in the cord wrap area below the omelette maker.
4. Store on a flat, dry level surface. Do not place anything on top of the omelette maker.

WARNING

The handle is designed for opening and closing the omelette maker during cooking. It should not be used for moving or carrying the omelette maker.

When moving the omelette maker, allow the unit to fully cool down and carry the unit via the base.
