INTERCHANGEABLE PLATES: Waffle, grill, and sandwich plates snap in easily. Securely attach both cooking plates while the appliance is cool, then close the lid before plugging it in. PREHEAT INDICATOR LIGHT: The green ready light illuminates when the correct cooking temperature is reached and cycles on and off with the thermostat during use. Wait for the green light before adding food. NONSTICK COOKING SURFACES: Removable nonstick plates help food release and are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Avoid metal utensils, abrasive cleaners, and aerosol cooking sprays to help protect the coating. HEAT-RESISTANT HANDLE: Use the heat-resistant handle to safely open and close the appliance while cooking. Always operate the unit in the closed position on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. COMPACT 3-IN-1 DESIGN: Prepare waffles, grilled foods, and toasted sandwiches with one space-saving appliance. The stainless-steel finish and removable plates make cooking, cleanup, and storage simple.
