Check that the heating plates are clean and dust-free. If necessary, wipe them with a damp
cloth. Place the appliance on a flat, level, heat resistant surface away from other cooking
apparatus or sink. Make sure that there is enough ventilation, so that hot steam can dissipate.

temperature and is ready to use the Green light will glow. This light will cycle on and off during
cooking as the appliance automatically maintains the correct temperature.
