SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over it. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• Plate and its Nonstick Coating
  Please follow these instructions to ensure extended use of the Plate and for the protection of the nonstick coating:
  
• Do not use sharp-edged metal spatulas found in stores.
• Do not scrape hard with the edge or corners of a spatula. Do not scrape the corners of the Plate.
• Do not scratch the Plate with sharp objects such as knives or forks.
• Do not cover the Lid while preheating, or preheat for an extended period of time. Do not place the Plate directly on the stovetop.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring powders, nylon brushes, metal brushes or eraser pads.
• Do not leave the surface or bottom of the Plate soiled. Acid (vinegar) and salt contents (sauce, soy sauce, and salt) may cause corrosion. Foods left on the surface may also cause uneven cooking. Be sure to keep the product clean.
• Do not use detergents other than mild kitchen detergents, such as chlorine-based alkaline detergents or those containing acidic ingredients. Doing so may cause corrosion.

REMARKS: The nonstick coating may wear out with use. The nonstick coating may eventually discolor or peel off. This will not affect the cooking performance or sanitary properties and is harmless to your health. If concerned with the peeling of the nonstick coating, please replace the Plate by purchasing a new one.

Temperature Control Plug

• Only use the Temperature Control Plug provided.
• Always remove the Temperature Control Plug from the Heater Set after use.
• Never disassemble the Temperature Control Plug.
• Clean any grease from the Release Buttons after use.
• Always clean the Probe and Power Plug of dust, soil, or food.
• Do not bang, drop or handle the Temperature Control Plug roughly.
• Do not move the Temperature Control Plug up and down when plugging in or unplugging.

Use and Care

• Do not use the product for anything other than grilling or steaming foods. Air Holes
• Handle the product gently; otherwise, it may cause malfunction or breakdown.
• Do not use the Plate on a gas or electric stovetop burner. Doing so may cause the nonstick coating to peel off, corrode, or cause the Plate to deform or discolor.
• Do not use with a soiled Heat Shield Plate. Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation.
• Do not splash the Heat Shield Plate with water or soak it in water. Do not use a metal brush to clean. If the surface becomes rusted or discolored, it may not shield heat properly, and cause fire, the Main Body Guard to deform, or the surface of the tabletop to become hot.
• Do not use on top of items such as newspapers that may obstruct the Air Holes beneath the Main Body Guard. Do not use on surfaces that are vulnerable to heat such as carpets, cushions, tatami mats or tablecloths. Doing so may cause fire, deform the
• Main Body Guard, or burn the surface.
• Do not use on top of glass surfaces, such as a glass table. Doing so may cause the glass to break from the heat.

PARTS NAMES

SAFETY MECHANISM

This product is equipped with the following safety features:

• The Temperature Control Plug cannot be inserted if the Plate is not properly set up.
• The Plate cannot be removed from the Heater Set while the Temperature Control Plug is inserted.
  Never force the Temperature Control Plug in or remove the Plate forcefully, as doing so may cause malfunction.

Preheat and Cook

1. Begin preheating by aligning the appropriate preheat temperature with the Operation Light. The Operation Light turns on, and the Plate will begin to heat up.
   • Do not cover the Lid while preheating.
   • Do not preheat at a temperature higher than the Preheat Temperature.
     Approximate time for preheating ••• 8 min.
2. When preheating completes in about 8 minutes, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired cooking temperature and begin cooking.
   ESTIMATED COOKING TEMPERATURE
   • The temperature is the estimated surface temperature of the Plate without the Lid.
   • Cooking results may vary depending on size, room temperature, and voltage. Use the chart as a guideline to achieve your preferred result.

• Use hot water to steam gyoza.
• To keep food warm, set the dial to Keep Warm.
• The product may make a creaking sound, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• The Operation Light will turn on and off during cooking. This indicates that the temperature is being controlled and is not a malfunction.
• There may be some smoke or odor the first time the product is used, which is normal.

TIPS FOR USING THE LID

The surface temperature of the Plate increases by 86 to 104°F (30 to 40°C) when the Lid is used. Using the Lid will help speed up the cooking process.

WHEN REMOVING THE LID …

• The Lid Handles will become hot while cooking. Take precautions to prevent burns.
• Be aware of steam or oil splattering from the gap between the Plate and the Lid to prevent burns.

NOTE

• Do not cover the Lid while preheating.
• Place the Lid on the Lid Holder of the Plate properly. If the Lid sits on the Main Body Guard, it may cause malfunction, deformation, or burns.

After Use

1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to OFF (align with the Operation Light), then unplug the Power Plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wipe off burnt-on foods with a soft paper or cloth while the Plate is warm.
3. Allow the Plate to cool (at least 30 minutes after use), then remove the Temperature Control Plug from the Heater Set and clean.
   • The Lid, Plate, Heater Set (Heater, Heater Shield Plate, Receptacle), and the Temperature Control Plug’s Probe will be hot for a while after use. Please take caution to prevent burns.
   • Do not attempt to remove the Plate while the Temperature Control Plug is still inserted. Doing so may cause a malfunction or damage.
   • Do not hold the Heater Set by the Receptacle. Doing so may cause a malfunction or damage.

RECIPES

• Take care while cooking, your oil may splatter

Pork Chop

Ingredients (4 servings)

4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to 300. Add heavy cream and mix well.
5. Add cooked pork chops from step 2 back onto the Plate and let them submerge in the sauce. Cover with the Lid and cook until the pork chops are done — about 4-5 minutes.
6. When pork chops are done, season with black pepper for the sauce, add chopped capers, and stir to combine.
7. Place pork chops onto warm plates and spoon over sauce.
