OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a

polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with a grounded cord, the extension cord must also be a grounding 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Do not use this unit near an oven, heater, or fireplace. If using an extension cord, it should be connected to the unit’s

power cord before it is plugged into the outlet. In the case of a power failure, the same procedure should be followed.

Tips for Best Results

• Always preheat the quesadilla maker.

• Spray cooking surface with nonstick spray before heating, if desired.

• Try different types of fillings in your quesadillas—cheeses, meats, chopped onions, mushrooms, salsa—even peanut butter and jelly!

• Always use precooked meat. Raw meat will not cook thoroughly and could be unsafe to eat. Visit www.foodsafety.gov for additional information on safe cooking temperatures.

• Lid latch will not lock if tortilla is overfilled. Ensure lid will latch closed.

• Remove quesadilla with tongs or plastic spatula. Do not use metal knives or forks since they will scratch the nonstick cooking grids.

• This unit can also be used to make egg omelets. Use approximately 2 eggs and about 1/4 cup of any filling you would like. Cook eggs completely and enjoy!

Unplug unit and allow to cool. Once completely cool, wipe clean with a soapy, damp cloth.
