SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do NOT immerse the cord, plugs, or grill body in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning it.
6. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman Customer Support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman may cause injuries.
8. Do NOT use outdoors.
9. Do NOT let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To turn the unit on, plug the power cord into the wall socket. To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall socket.
13. Do NOT use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
14. This appliance is not intended for deep-frying foods.

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Please do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The 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.

Power Cord Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are accounted for.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the unit except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Quick Start: How to Use the Everything Maker

The Everything Maker is super simple to use: just plug it in, and you’re ready to go. In most cases, you’ll want to preheat the unit before using it, but certain foods can be started on a cold unit (see p. 13 for more details).

1. Set the closed Everything Maker on a dry, heat-resistant, level surface and plug it in. The white POWER light will illuminate, and the unit will automatically begin to preheat. During preheating, prepare your food to be cooked.
2. When the green READY light illuminates, open the unit wearing oven mitts. (The parts around the handle can get very hot.) If desired, brush a little vegetable oil or spray some non-aerosol cooking spray on the bottom plate. Place your food on the bottom cooking plate. CAUTION: The unit is HOT and steam may emit from the sides when opening and closing the lid. Always use the handle and wear oven mitts to protect your hands.
3. Close the lid and let the food cook. During cooking, the green READY light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains its temperature. (Once preheated, the temperature will range between 356°F and 428°F.) Cook as directed by your recipe. For pizzas, look for a golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese. For sandwiches and quesadillas, cook until the exterior is golden brown.
4. Wearing oven mitts, open the lid with the handle. Use a silicone, nylon, or plastic spatula to remove the food from the Everything Maker. Do NOT use metal utensils, which can damage the nonstick finish. Do NOT cut up foods in the Everything Maker, which can also damage the finish.
5. If you wish to cook another batch of food, wait until the Everything Maker has come back up to temperature (green READY light comes on) before starting the next batch. When you’re finished cooking, unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Pizza-Making Tips

Transferring fresh, topped pizza dough to the preheated Everything Maker can be tricky, so use the following method instead:

1. Shape 8 oz of fresh or store-bought pizza dough into a tight ball. Place the ball in a well-oiled bowl.
2. Rub the dough all over with olive or vegetable oil and cover loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
3. Let the dough proof (rise) in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size and airy.
4. Working on a lightly floured surface, use your fingertips to press air out of the center of the dough, working your way all around the circle but leaving the edges puffed and airy.
5. Flatten and stretch the dough from the center until it’s 10 to 11 inches in diameter.
6. Sprinkle the bottom cooking plate with semolina flour, if desired (this is just to add texture, not to prevent sticking).
7. Transfer the dough to the Everything Maker’s cold cooking plate. Close the unit and plug it in.
8. Cook until the dough is mostly cooked through and golden, about 15 minutes.
9. Open the lid and top with sauce and desired toppings. (Meat toppings should be pre-cooked. Do NOT use raw meat toppings.) Close the lid.
10. Cook until the cheese is melted and toppings are heated through, 5 to 10 minutes more.
11. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Do NOT cut in the Everything Maker.

General Cooking Tips

• Parchment paper is your good friend when using the Everything Maker: use it to line the lower plate for nachos, cookies, flatbread, and more. Not only does it quickly move many small pieces onto the cooking plate, but it also controls browning and makes cleanup a cinch. To ensure it doesn’t burn, never leave parchment in the unit unattended. Do NOT use waxed paper on the Everything Maker.
• Brushing the lower plate with oil or spraying with a non-aerosol cooking spray—while not necessary to prevent sticking—can enhance browning. Never use aerosol cooking spray, which can damage the nonstick finish.
• Use silicone, nylon, or wood spatulas. Do NOT use any metal tools to add or retrieve foods from the Everything Maker, and never cut foods while they are sitting on the bottom plate.
• You can cook with the lid open—particularly to let liquid evaporate, and sauces reduce, or to use the bottom plate as a nonstick griddle. CAUTION: the upper plate is hot even when cooking with the lid open, so be careful not to touch it. Also note that the unit will retain heat better with the lid closed.
• If there is an excess of liquid or grease in the bottom plate after cooking, do NOT try to pour it out. Instead, let it cool and use a dish towel or paper towel to wipe it clean.

Keep It Clean

With its nonstick coating, the Everything Maker is super easy to clean.

1. Unplug the unit and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with a clean, damp cloth. If food remains on the plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil on the hardened food. Let the oil sit for 5 minutes, then wipe clean with a paper towel or soft cloth. To remove stubborn food residue, use a soft nylon brush, silicone scraper, or other cleaning utensil safe for nonstick surfaces. Do NOT use harsh or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the nonstick finish.
3. Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. WARNING: Do NOT immerse the unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. Do NOT pour or run water into any part of the unit. The unit is NOT dishwasher safe. Do NOT place in dishwasher.
4. Wind the cord around the cord storage pegs at the base of the appliance. Ensure the entire unit is clean and dry before storing. The unit may be stored in an upright position to save space.
