USING YOUR QUESADILLA MAKER
1. Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and dry.
2. The interior surface should be lightly coated with a small amount of vegetable oil.
This can be applied with a paper towel. This will help protect the non-stick
surface. This should be done periodically to maintain the non-stick quality.

USING YOUR QUESADILLA MAKER (Continued)
3. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.
4. Preheat the unit by closing the lid and plug into an electrical outlet. The green
power light will come on. When the surface is ready to cook, the green light will
turn off and the red light will come on.
5. While the unit is preheating, you can prepare the ingredients for your homemade
quesadilla.
6. REMINDER...NEVER leave the unit unattended.
NOTE: The unit should preheat for at least 5 minutes. During this time, you may notice
slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most new appliances which are the
residues burning off the cooking surface and the heating element. Allow the unit to preheat
until smoke and odor no longer exists. The green indicator will turn off when the unit is
ready to cook.
7. Slide the drip tray under the front
of the unit. Raise the quesadilla
maker lid, always using the front
handle to prevent accidental burns.
For additional safety use an oven
mitt or a pot-holder to open the lid.
8. Place a tortilla, centered, on
the bottom cooking surface.
9. Add desired ingredients evenly on
top of the bottom tortilla. When all
ingredients have been added, top
with the second tortilla.
10. Close the lid using a pot holder
or oven mitt.
11. Lock the lid after lowering.
DO NOT force the lid to lock.
NOTE: Steam may be released from
unit during cooking. For your
safety, avoid contact with steam,
as it is very hot and can cause
burns.
12. The cooking time will range between 3 to 7 minutes, depending on the type of
fillings, the amount of fillings and personal taste. DO NOT overcook! This will
cause the cheese and other food fillings used to melt excessively and run out of
tortillas.
13. Once the quesadilla has completed cooking, raise the lid with a pot holder or
oven mitt. Remove the quesadilla from the cooking surface with a flat plastic or
wooden utensil. DO NOT use metal utensils as this may scratch and damage
the non-stick cooking surface.
14. If cooking more than one quesadilla in a session, after removal of the first
quesadilla, lower the lid to maintain heat until ready to cook the next quesadilla.
15. When unplugging the unit, make sure the red light is off to prevent any sparking
from the outlet.
16. Once the unit is cool, remove the drip tray to empty and clean.
