IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensurethat they do not play with the appliance.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or cooking unit in water or other liquid.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not operate the appliance by means of an external timer or a separate remote-control system.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

During use, provide 4 to 6 inches of air space above, behind, and on both sides for air circulation. Do not use it on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
Place the appliance only on a dry, level, and nonflammable surface.
Never remove the quesadilla with any kind of cutting device or other metallic kitchen utensil.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
Do not use this unit near an oven, heater, or fireplace.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
If using an extension cord, it should be connected to the unit’s power cord before it is plugged into the outlet. In the case of a power failure, the same procedure should be followed.

How to Use

Before first use: Wipe the bottom and top cooking surfaces with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe surfaces again.

WARNING Burn Hazard. Escaping steam can burn. Always use an oven mitt to protect your hand when opening the lid on the quesadilla maker.

NOTE: Processed cheeses and cheese spreads tend to melt very quickly and can cause overflow from the tortilla. When using these types of cheeses, use a lesser amount and try to keep them in the center of the tortilla.

Plug into an outlet. Turn the unit on.
Allow to heat until the Green Preheat Light comes on—approximately 2–3 minutes. The unit is now ready for use.
Raise cover. Center a 7- to 8-inch tortilla in the Quesadilla Maker.
WARNING Burn Hazard. Do not touch cooking surfaces.
Place desired filling(s) onto tortilla (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup), keeping about 1/2 to 1 inch to the edge clear for filling(s). Do not overfill.
Place a second tortilla over the fillings and the bottom tortilla, centering it over Cooking Surface.
Close and lock Lid. Bake for approximately 2–3 minutes or until the quesadilla begins to brown. Green Preheat Light turns on and off during cooking. This does not indicate cooking is complete.
Open the Lid carefully. Remove the quesadilla using heat-resistant plastic tongs or spatula.
Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Once completely cool, wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in any liquid.

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Once completely cool, wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth.
Wipe the Cooking Surfaces and the outside of the unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse the cloth and wipe surfaces again.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit.

Tips for Best Results

Always preheat the Quesadilla Maker.
Spray Cooking Surfaces with nonstick spray before heating, if desired.
Try different types of fillings in your quesadillas—cheeses, meats, chopped onions, mushrooms, salsa—even peanut butter and jelly!
Always use pre-cooked meat. Raw meat will not cook thoroughly and could be unsafe to eat. Visit foodsafety.gov for additional information on safe cooking temperatures.
The Lid Latch will not lock if the tortilla is overfilled. Ensure the Lid will latch closed for best results.
Remove the quesadilla with heat-resistant plastic tongs or spatula. Do not use metal knives or forks since they will scratch the Nonstick CookingSurfaces.
This unit can be used to make egg omelets. Use approximately 2 eggs and about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of any filling you would like. Cook eggs completely and enjoy!
