HOW TO OPERATE

  1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
  2. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.
  3. Coat the Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel or with a nonstick oil spray. The oil will help protect the nonstick quality of the cooking surface. This should be done periodically to maintain the nonstick quality.
  4. Preheat the appliance by closing the Lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
  5. When the power is on, the Red Power Light will come on. The Green Ready Light will stay off while the appliance is preheating.
  6. The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 3 minutes. The Green Ready Light will turn on when the appliance is ready to cook.
  7. While the appliance is preheating, gather your tortillas.
  8. Carefully place an 8 inch tortilla on top of the preheated well in the Lower Cooking Surface. BE VERY CAREFUL as the Cooking Surfaces will be EXTREMELY HOT. Children should NEVER operate this appliance.
  9. Close the Lid using a pot holder or oven mitt. Make sure Lid is locked by closing latch. The tortilla will automatically be pressed inside the unit upon closing.
    • Steam may be released from appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
  10. The cooking time will range between 1-3 minutes. Tortillas are done when crispy and golden brown.
  11. Once the tortilla has completed cooking, unlock and raise the Lid with a pot holder or oven mitt. Remove the tortilla from the Lower Cooking Surface with a plastic or wooden kitchen utensil. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may scratch and damage the Cooking Surface.
  12. If cooking more than one tortilla in a session, lower the Lid in between baking to maintain heat until ready to cook the next tortilla.
