damp cloth. If necessary, you may submerge the Grill in water, but
use care not to submerge the end of the Grill which houses
the Probe Receptacle. Rinse well and dry all parts thoroughly.
Instructions or Use
1. To preheat the SANTA E BU ET,™place the Lid on the Round
Heating Plate. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to “OFF” and
attach Temperature Control Probe to the BU ET. Then plug the
cord into a wall outlet. As the Temperature Control Knob is turned,
the Light on the Temperature Control Probe will illuminate and the
Grill will begin to heat.
2. The Indicator Light will go off when the temperature heat level
(“HIGH,” “MEDIUM,” “LOW,” or “WARM”) is reached.
CAUTION: The grilling surface becomes very hot. Avoid contact
with hot Grill. The use of cooking mitts or potholders is
recommended.
NOTE: The Indicator Light will turn on and off while you are cooking.
This is normal and indicates that the Thermostat is cycling on and off
to maintain a constant cooking temperature.
3. You may use the Glass Lid, on either the flat, Round Heating Plate or
the Ribbed Grill cooking surface. See “Wrap Station and Grill” and
“Party Service Buffet” Sections of this manual for correct Grill set-up.
4. Exact cooking times vary for different types of foods and recipes.
Consult your recipe and adjust as needed. With the Lid in place on
the Round Heating Plate, your SANTA E BU ET™ performs as
a vented covered pan.
5. When your food is ready, turn the Temperature Control Probe to
“OFF.” Always remove your food using the SANTA E Plastic
Tongs provided, or a wooden spatula, or non-metal fork.

Instructions or Use (Continued)
6
CAUTION: Do not use metal or sharp-edged utensils, as these can
damage the non-stick surface of the Grill. Do not leave any
plastic utensils in or on the grilling surface, while it is plugged
in or is hot.
6. When cooking or serving is finished, unplug the SANTA E
BU ET™ from the wall outlet first, and then remove Temperature
Control Probe from the appliance.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when
not in use.
Wrap Station and Grill
1. The circular Tortilla Warmer can be used to hold the tortillas for tacos,
enchiladas, tostadas, burritos, etc. to which grilled vegetables and
meats, fish and/or cheese can be added.
Place the Stainless Steel Tortilla Pan into the Round Heating Plate.
You can place up to 10 tortillas into the Pan. Use the Glass Lid to
keep tortillas warm and moist for up to 30 minutes.
2. The non-stick coating on the SANTA E BU ET™ means
cooking with very little fat or oil. If desired, a mere 1/2 teaspoon is all
you will need to coat the inside cooking surfaces to prevent sticking
or add flavor.
*See “User Maintenance Instructions” regarding use of oils, butter,
and margarine.
3. Before grilling, slide the grease-catching Drip Tray underneath the
Ribbed Grill of the SANTA E BU ET™, directly under the Grease
Drain. The Tray should slide effortlessly into a firm locked position.
When the Grill is being used, grease drips through the Grease Drain
located under the Ribbed Grill (see illustration on page 4).
4. With the Temperature Control Knob turned to “OFF,” attach the
Temperature Control Probe to the unit first. Then plug the SANTA
E BU ET™ into electric outlet. Turn Temperature Control Knob to
the desired setting and preheat 5-8 minutes or until Light goes out.
Carefully remove the Lid, preferably using oven mitts.
5. Use Plastic Tongs provided to carefully place the items to be cooked
on the SANTA E BU ET™ grilling surfaces.
Wrap Station with
Stainless Steel
Tortilla Pan keeps
up to 10 tortillas
warm for up to
30 minutes.

CAUTION: Be careful not to touch any part of the
SANTA E BU ET™ as Grill parts will be HOT!
6. Grill meats, vegetables or fruits on the Ribbed Grill. The Ribbed
Grill adds beautiful grill lines while searing in juices and adding
flavor. Cook foods according to your recipes.
7. Depending on the foods you are cooking, cook with the Lid
either on or off.
Party Service Buffet
1. Use as a dual Grill, one side covered, one side open.
2. The Glass Lid may be used on either side.
WARNING! While using SANTA FE BUFFET™ with the Lid in
place, steam will rise from the Steam Hole. Keep hands
and face away from the Glass Lid’s Steam Hole.
Always use oven mitts to handle hot Grill/Heating Plate or
Tortilla Pan.
3. The flat, Round Heating Plate of the SANTA E BU ET™
can be used for preparing a wide variety of foods such as
pancakes, eggs, hamburgers, pizza, or stir-fries. Grill sausages,
bacon, meats, fruits, vegetables on the Ribbed Grill.
4. After foods are cooked, turn the Temperature Control Knob to
“WARM.” Let family and guests help themselves to delicious
foods kept at perfect serving temperature.
5. Add your own pan (up
to 8”) to keep sauces,
soups, stews, chilies,
party dips warm. Serve
grilled foods, toasted
tortilla chips, warmed pitas
covered on the Grill at the
same time.
6. When cooking is finished, turn
the Temperature Control Knob to

Wrap Station & Grill (Continued)

Hints or Best Results
1. The non-stick coating on the SANTA E BU ET™ means
cooking without any fat at all! Use butter, margarine or oil only
for extra browning or flavor. Use 1/2 teaspoon to coat the
cooking surfaces. We recommend using a cooking brush to
apply oil or melted butter to the Ribbed Grill surface.
*See “User Maintenance Instructions” regarding use
of oils or butter.
2. The SANTA E BU ET™ has an easy-to-use Adjustable
Temperature Control with 4 temperature settings: “HIGH,”
“MEDIUM,” “LOW,” and “WARM.”
3. Use the Adjustable Temperature Control on “LOW”
for scallops and tender seafood — on “HIGH” for
swordfish steaks.
4. For beef and chicken, we recommend using “HIGH” heat to
get those grill marks you love!
5. Personal taste, thickness of cut of fish, meat, vegetables
or fruits may vary cooking times. Always check for
doneness and always use fresh, refrigerated foods for
you and your family.
USDA NOTE: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef,
pork, lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of
160ºF and poultry products should be cooked to an internal
temperature of 170ºF - 180ºF to be sure any harmful bacteria,
Listeria and Ecoli, has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry
products, they should also be cooked to an internal
temperature of 165ºF.
6. Cleaning the SANTA E BU ET™ is a snap! The entire
grilling surface lifts easily out of the Base. Clean thoroughly
and replace Grill by lining up the cut-out notch for the
Temperature Control Probe on the Grill and the Base.
7. To loosen tidbits that have dried on to the Grill Pan, remove
the Temperature Control Probe. Pour 1/2 cup water onto
Grill surfaces, let soak, pour off the water and then use a
sponge or non-scratching plastic kitchen dish brush.
(See “User Maintenance Instructions” for more suggestions.)
8. To take advantage of the added heat/steaming effect from use
of the Glass Lid, or to keep foods from splattering, cook with
the Lid in place.

User Maintenance
Instructions
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, unplug from outlet when
not in use and before cleaning. Use care not to fully
submerge Probe Receptacle during cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, turn the Temperature Control Probe to “OFF,”
and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Remove the
Temperature Control Probe from the BU ET and allow entire
appliance to cool thoroughly.
2. Inside cleaning: Remove the Grill from the Base to clean.
Clean the Removable Grill/Heating Plate by carefully rinsing the
coated surface with warm, soapy water. Wipe clean with a soft,
damp cloth. If necessary, you may submerge the Grill in water, but
use care not to submerge the end of the Grill which houses
the Probe Receptacle. Rinse well and dry all parts thoroughly.
The Glass Lid and Tortilla Pan should be rinsed with warm
water and, if necessary, cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge
and wiped dry.
NOTE: Both the Lid and the Stainless Steel Tortilla Pan are
dishwasher safe!
Empty the Drip Tray and clean with warm, soapy water. Wipe dry.
3. Although the Grills are coated with a non-stick coating, some food
may still adhere to the Removable Grill/Heating Plate. To remove,
simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on food and allow to
stand for 5 to 10 minutes. This should soften the food and make it
easy to remove. If this method fails, we then suggest wiping the pan
with a slightly dampened cloth and a little dishwashing detergent.
CAUTION: Handle the Glass Lid with extreme care, as it may
become slippery when wet.
4. Outside cleaning: Wipe the plastic Base with a soft dry cloth.
Dry both Grill surfaces thoroughly.
5. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads or steel wool to
clean this appliance.
6. Do not immerse Adjustable Temperature Control Probe in water or
any other liquid.
IMPORTANT:
Your Salton®SANTA E BU ET™ is coated with a non-stick
surface. Rather than using grease or shortening, please use liquid
margarine, melted butter or cooking oil. We do not recommend using
spray-on, aerosol type coatings or food release products, as these
build up a residue on the cooking surface.
Any service requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must
be performed by a qualified electrician.
