HOW TO USE YOUR snack maker

1. Before using the appliance, clean the baking surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry it with paper towel.
2. Close the appliance and plug it into a mains power outlet socket. Both red power indicator and the green working indicator will light up, indicating that the snack maker is connected to mains power and begins preheating. The red power indicator will remain ON until you unplug the appliance from mains power.
3. It will take approximately 3 minutes to reach the recommended baking temperature. The green working indicator will go OFF when the snack maker is ready for use.
4.  Open the appliance and brush the baking plates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
5.  Put the right ingredients and close the appliance to begin cooking.
   NOTE: Gently close the lid and ensure to lock the appliance with the locking clip until it ‘clicks’ in place. Do not slam the lid down, as it may cause the mixture to come off the mold.
6. The green working indicator will light up again when another baking cycle starts. The actual baking time varies depending on the type of batter and ingredients you use. A general guideline is around 5-8 minutes of baking time.
7. If you prefer a darker result, close the appliance again and continue baking until the desired baking color is achieved.
   IMPORTANT! Do not open the appliance during the first 2 minutes after filling in the batter. It will cause splitting of the under-baked snacks and make it difficult to remove.
8. To remove the snacks, always use a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a sharp or metal object, as this will damage the non-stick coating or the baking plate. We recommend using oven mitts when removing hot food from the snack maker.
9. After using the snack maker, disconnect the power plug from the mains power outlet socket.
   CAUTION:
   1. The first heating process should take place without any food. Let it heat for about 5 minutes. There may be a small amount of smoke and odor from the unit when heating up. This is normal and harmless.  This should disappear after few minutes of use.
   2. The red power light will be ON when the snack maker is connected to mains power, and the green ready light will cycle ON and OFF to maintain the cooking temperature.
   3. Never use a sharp fork or knife to remove the snacks as this would damage the non-stick coating on the braking surface. Use heat-resistant wood or plastic utensils only.
   4. Always unplug the appliance from the mains power outlet socket when not in use.

WARNING:

• If the surface of the snack maker is cracked or damaged, disconnect the appliance from the mains power to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.
• This appliance is not designed to be operated by means an external timer or separate remote control system.
