strips to fit on the unit may vary based on the thickness and width of each strip.
COOKING TIP: For best results, do not overlap bacon strips.

NOTE: It is recommened that you use plastic or wooden utensils when removing bacon.
Over time, metal utensils may damage the non-stick cooking surface of the Cooking Plate.

NOTE: Avoid fat spills by always checking the Drip Tray before moving the unit. If the Drip
Tray is full, properly dispose of fat prior to moving the unit.
