USING YOUR QUESADILLA MAKER
Note: Before preheating the quesadilla maker, the cooking plates may be brushed with a
small amount of vegetable oil, if desired. This helps to protect the nonstick surface. You
may wish to repeat this procedure periodically.
. Close the lid and plug cord into a standard electrical outlet. Both the red power
indicator light and green preheat indicator light will turn on as the unit begins
heating.
2. Allow the unit to preheat for approximately 5 minutes. The green preheat indicator
light will turn off when the quesadilla maker has reached cooking temperature.
3. Gently raise the lid using a pot holder/oven mitt.
Important: Always grasp lid with a pot holder/oven mitt when raising and lowering.
Note: As with any new appliance, you may notice smoke and a slight odor when using
your quesadilla maker for the first time, as residues left from manufacturing burn off the
cooking plates and heating element. This is normal.
4. Raise the lid using a pot holder/oven mitt and place prepared quesadilla centered on
the bottom cooking plate.
5. Carefully lower the lid using a pot holder/oven mitt and latch shut.
Note: Depending on the amount of food, the latch may not latch completely. DO NOT
FORCE SHUT! The unit will still cook properly.
Important: Steam may be released between the cooking plates. Caution should be taken
to prevent hands from coming in contact with the steam.
6. Grilling time should be approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Exact grilling time will be a
matter of taste and will depend on the type of filling. Do not overcook, since filling
may melt and pour out from between the tortillas.
7. The green preheat indicator light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains the ideal
cooking temperature; this prevents overheating.
8. After the quesadilla has finished cooking, gently raise the lid using a pot holder/oven
mitt and remove quesadilla with a plastic or wooden spatula.
Important: Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the nonstick coating.
9. Keep the lid closed to preserve the heat until you are ready for the next quesadilla.
0. After use, unplug unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool to room
temperature before cleaning.
