PARTS DESCRIPTION
BEFORE FIRST USE
The appliance has been packaged carefully to ensure the product is undamaged and in good condition after shipping. DO NOT use if the product is damaged, please contact Kmart for replacement.
Carefully unpack the appliance. Make sure not to discard any packaging material until all parts of the appliance have been found. Carefully wipe the exterior of the appliance to remove any dust that may have accumulated during the manufacturing process. Dry with a dry towel. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
IMPORTANT! Place the appliance on a flat, heat resistive surface only. To prevent heat damage to the benchtop surface, i.e. vinyl benchtop, we recommend placing the appliance on a heat-resistant mat to protect the benchtop surface.
IMPORTANT! Before using the appliance for the first time, the cooking plates must be coated with cooking oil to protect the non-stick cooking surface.
OPERATION
- Brush or wipe the toasting grids with a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Preheat the appliance by closing the lid and plugging it into an electrical power outlet.
- When the power is ON and while the appliance is preheating, the RED light will stay ON. It will come off once the correct temperature is reached.
- The appliance should preheat for a minimum of 2-3 minutes.
- The grids will reach optimum temperature in approx. 5 minutes, then the GREEN ready light will illuminate to indicate ready state and the appliance will stop heating. The appliance will begin to reheat again when the GREEN ready light goes OFF. This cycle (the GREEN light switching ON/OFF) will continue to maintain the optimum heating temperature in the samosa maker.
- Open the Samosa Maker and place the pastry on the bottom baking plate.
- Fill each compartment with the appropriate amount of filling, pressing the bottom half into the plate to help even cooking.
- Place the top sheet. Ensure it has fully covered the bottom sheet for a good seal.
- Close the Samosa Maker.
- Do not force shut. Steam may be released in between the cooking plates and care must be taken to ensure that fingers do not come into contact with the plates.
- It will take approx. 3-8 minutes to cook depending on different fillings and your taste preference.
- Open the Samosa Maker. Remove the samosa from the cooking plates using a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal knives as they may damage the non-stick coating.
- Repeat the above operation if more samosas are needed.
- Disconnect from mains power after use.
CAUTION:
- During first use, the appliance may emit a small amount of smoke and/or odor due to lubrication burning off from the heating element. This is normal and harmless. Allow dry heating until smoke and odor no longer exist.
- If too much mixture is inserted into the appliance, the samosa maker cannot be closed. Never close it with undue force as this could damage the appliance.
- Never use sharp forks or knives to remove samosas as this would damage the non-stick coating on the braking surface. Use heat-resistant wood or plastic utensils only.
- Always unplug the appliance from the power socket when not in use.
