USE

A. BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your 3-in-1 Grill, Waffle & Omelette Maker for the first time, ensure all packaging is removed and clean the grill, waffle and omelette plates thoroughly (see Cleaning & Maintenance Section).
B. SELECTING THE PLATES
Before you begin, select which plates are best suited for the food you wish to cook.
Grill Plates
The ribbed grill plates can be used as a contact grill or as a panini press. They are perfect for succulent burgers, seared steaks, café-style paninis and delicious vegetables.
Waffle Plates
The waffle plates can be used to make homemade sweet or savoury waffles, that have a golden brown crust and a soft fluffy centre.
Omelette Plates
The omelette plates can be used to create light and fluffy omelettes, tortillas, mini quiches and pizzas. They can also be used to make frittatas, mini pies, calzone and even cook cheeseburgers.
C. FITTING AND REMOVING THE PLATES
Fitting the Plates

Ensure the product is switched off and is fully cooled down.
Select either the grill, waffle or omelette plates.
Position the unit so that the controls are facing toward you.
Press the handle release button and list the handle to fully open the product.
Align the two cutouts at the back of the plate (Fig. 1) with the brackets on the bottom of the housing base. Tilt the plate and slide it underneath the bracket.
Push down the front end of the plate until it locks into place. To lock the plate more easily, it’s recommended to press the plate release button, when fitting the plate.
Repeat with the second plate.

Removing the Plates

Ensure the product is switched off and is fully cooled down. Always allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing the plates.
Locate the plate release buttons, which can be found on the right side of the unit’s upper and lower housing (Fig. 2). Press the upper release button firmly, the upper plate will slightly loosen to be able to remove from the top cover. Lift the plate up and slide it out, under the brackets in the centre.
Repeat by pressing the lower release button and releasing the lower plate.
The plates can be hand washed or cleaned in the dishwasher after use.

Fitting and Removing the Integrated Drip Tray
The 3 in-1 Grill, Waffle & Omelette Maker has a clever fat drainage system. Fat is drained via a small recess at the rear of the plates, allowing fat and grease to drip down into the integrated tray.
To insert the drip tray, insert it into the slot on the right side of the lower housing (Fig. 3). To remove the drip tray, simply slide the tray out of the slot. Grease should be disposed of safely after cooking. The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher.
D. USING THE 3 in 1 GRILL, WAFFLE & OMELETTE MAKER
Once you have fitted the plates and integrated drip tray, you are ready to start using the 3 in 1 Grill, Waffle & Omelette Maker.
Preheating the 3 in 1 Grill, Waffle & Omelette Maker
For optimum results, always preheat the unit completely before using.

Plug the unit into a suitable mains socket.
Although the plates have a non-stick coating, we recommend that you prepare the plates with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush.
Close the lid and turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting for cooking: Low, Medium or High.
N.B: Adjust the temperature according to the food.
When the dial is in place, a red light will illuminate on the front of the appliance to indicate that the power is on and the appliance is heating up.
Once the appliance has reached the optimal temperature, the green light will illuminate to indicate the appliance is ready to cook.

Using the Handle

The handle is designed to lock when used in either waffle or omelette mode.
To open the appliance, grasp the handle, pressing in the handle release button as you lift the lid upwards.
To close the appliance, push the handle downwards.

Cooking with the Grill Plates

Preheat the appliance, until the green indicator illuminates.
Place the food on the lower plate and lower the lid.
The floating hinge design means that the space between the upper and lower plate adjusts to the thickness of your food (Fig. 4).

N.B: You can apply light pressure, using the handle to press, whilst cooking to lock in flavour.
When cooking more than one item at a time, try to ensure the thickness of the food is consistent to ensure even cooking, for each piece of food.

After placing your food on the grill, it may take a few seconds for the green light to switch off.
This is normal.
The green light runs on a thermostat and indicates when the product is up to temperature. As part of the cooking cycle, the light will go on and off during this process. You will need to assess if the food is cooked by lifting the lid. The green light does not indicate when food is cooked.
When you are happy the food is cooked, remove it by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula.
IMPORTANT: Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the non-stick coating.
Once you have finished cooking, turn the selector to the ‘OFF’ position and unplug the power cord from the mains. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.

N.B: When using the appliance for the first time, there may be a slight odour and the unit may smoke a little. This is normal and common for appliances with a non-stick surface.

Cooking with the Waffle and Omelette Plates

Preheat the appliance, until the green indicator illuminates.
Place the food on the lower plate and close the handle. You will hear a click when it locks securely.
N.B: It is important to lock the plates, to ensure the plates are fully sealed, so your food cooks
properly.
It may take a few seconds for the green light to switch off. This is normal.
The green light runs on a thermostat and indicates when the product is up to temperature. As
