HOW TO OPERATE
1.
Find a dry, heat-resistant and level surface near an electrical outlet.
2.
The Cooking Surfaces should be lightly coated 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.
3.
Preheat the appliance by closing the Lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
4.
When the power is on, the Red Power Light
will come on. The Green Ready Light will stay
on while the appliance is preheating.
5.
The appliance should preheat for a minimum
of 3 minutes. The Green Ready Light will turn
off when the appliance is ready to cook.
6.
While the appliance is preheating, you may prepare your ingredients. Follow
the recipes included in this instruction manual or use your own.

Surface. BE CAREFUL as the Cooking Surfaces will be extremely hot.
9.
Close the Lid using a pot holder or oven mitt. Make sure Lid is locked by closing latch.
10.
Steam may be released from appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact

11. The cooking time will range between 3-7 minutes.
12. Once the empanadas have completed cooking, unlock and raise the Lid
with a pot holder or oven mitt. Remove the empanadas 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.
13. If cooking more than one batch of empanadas in a session, after removal of the
first batch, lower the Lid to maintain heat until ready to cook the next batch.
