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 omelet.
- Eggs should be at room temperature (not from the refrigerator) for best results when making omelets
- Whisk the eggs with a hand whisk in a large bowl to achieve a well-aerated egg mixture.
- For best cooking results, we recommend seasoning 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.
- The thawed ready-rolled pastry is the easiest to use, either in sheets or from a roll.
- To keep the omelet warm, place in an oven-proof dish on a rack in a low oven, about 100°C. The omelet will keep warm for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.
- You can cook more than just omelets in your omelet maker. Make a combination of sweet and savory 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 omelet maker to cool before cleaning however, the omelet maker is
easier to clean when still slightly warm.
Always clean your omelet maker after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-
on foods. Wipe cooking plates and overflow the 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 minimizes the need for oil as food does not
stick and cleaning is easier. Any discoloration that may occur will only
detract from the appearance of the omelet 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 and do not use abrasives.
STORAGE
To store your omelet maker:
- Ensure the power is off and then unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
- Allow the omelet maker to fully cool.
- Wrap the power cord in the cord wrap area below the omelet maker.
- Store on a flat, dry level surface.
Do not place anything on top of the omelet maker.
WARNING
The handle is designed for opening and closing the omelet maker during
cooking. It should not be used for moving or carrying the omelet maker.
When moving the omelet maker, allow the unit to fully cool down and carry the
unit via the base.
