FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
3-Conductor Cord Set: This Flatbread
Maker is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord set that has a 3 prong grounding-
type plug. It should be properly
connected to a grounding-type outlet.
The plug is designed to t ONLY a
3-grounding outlet unit, and as such,
the grounding prong should never be
removed. If needed, purchase a 2-prong
adaptor and ground it to the outlet.
Consult a qualied electrician if in doubt.
Do not use an adaptor unless you are
condent it is grounded. Do not modify
this plug. If the plug does not t the
outlet securely, call a qualied electrician
for assistance.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
A. Flatbread Maker Base- The Base for the Flatbread Maker holds the oversized
Nonstick Baking Plate and the Base Heating Element. The Plate gets hot almost
immediately in response to the Heating Element, oering a super-fast
preheating time.
The Base also holds the Temperature Control Dial that can easily be adjusted up to
“465°F” for a full range of temperature settings to suit your every baking need.
B. Vented Dome Lid with CoolTouch Handle- The Vented Dome Lid holds the second
of two Heating Elements, which creates super-crisp exteriors on your atbreads by
directly heating the top of the bread. It can be easily opened by using the CoolTouch
Handle. The Domed Lid contains vents for steam to escape; avoid standing near the
steam while operating the Flatbread Maker.
C. Nonstick Baking Plate- The generous 12-inch nonstick Baking Plate easily holds
thin, unleavened atbreads and a variety of other baked goods. Because the surface is
nonstick, use only heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid marring
the surface.
Before rst use, condition the Plate by coating lightly with a layer of vegetable
shortening. Following that treatment, always lightly coat the Baking Plate with
cooking spray before adding food to the Plate. If, over time, foods begin to stick,
re-condition with a second application of vegetable shortening.
D. Easy Temperature Control Dial- With the ease of the Control Dial, you can quickly
set the temperature for your baked goods by turning the Dial to the heat setting you
prefer. Allow the Flatbread Maker to preheat for 10 minutes before adding foods
to bake.

BEFORE FIRST USE & ASSEMBLY
Before First Use:
1. Place the Flatbread Maker on a level, at surface that is clean
and dry.
2. Ensure that the Flatbread Maker is several inches away from
obstructions, such as walls, cabinets, doors, and other appliances.
Allow enough room above the Flatbread Maker so the Dome Lid can be
fully opened.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior of the Flatbread Maker,
Nonstick Baking Plate and Domed Lid. Dry with a paper towel or soft cloth.
4. Plug the unit into the wall outlet and turn the Control Dial to 325°F. Heat
Flatbread Maker for a few minutes to prepare the Nonstick Baking Plate for
cooking. When done, turn the Control Dial OFF and unplug. Allow to
cool completely. Wipe the Nonstick Baking Plate again with a damp cloth
and dry.
5. Before using for the rst time, use a small amount of vegetable
shortening to condition or “season” the Nonstick Baking Plate. Spread a
very thin layer of the shortening over all the surface of the Plate. Wipe
gently with a paper towel. Preheat as recipe directs.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly coat the Nonstick Baking Plate with cooking spray.
2. Set the temperature desired by turning the Control Dial.
