IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and

manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that

you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all

instructions and important safeguards.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE.

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed as below:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs and oven mitts.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or

any non-removable parts of this

appliance in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near

children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use

and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts.

5. Do not use outdoors.

6. Do not let cord or plug hang over

edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces.

7. Extreme caution must be used when

moving an appliance containing hot oil

or other hot liquid.

8. Do not place on or near a hot gas or

electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

9. Turn all controls to “OFF” before

inserting or removing plug from wall

outlet.

10. Do not place any ammable materials

in the quesadilla maker: paper,

cardboard, plastic, etc.

11. To disconnect, grasp plug and remove

from outlet. Do not pull by the cord.

12. Do not use quesadilla maker for

anything other than intended use.

13. A re may occur if this appliance is

walls, etc. when in operation. Do not

store any item on top of the

appliance.

14. Do not clean with metal scouring

pads.

15. Do not operate the appliance if the

power cord or plug is damaged, it

must be replaced by the

manufacturer or its service agent

before use.

16. Some countertop and table surfaces,

such as Corian®, wood and/or

laminates, are not designed to

withstand prolonged heat generated

by certain appliances. It is strongly

recommended by countertop

manufacturers that a hot pad or

trivet be placed under your appliance

to prevent possible damage to the

surface.

17. Do not use quesadilla maker with

llings that ‘run’ easily such as jams

and jellies as they will leak and burn.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

If the plug still does not t, contact a

qualied electrician. Never use the plug

with an extension cord unless the plug

can be fully inserted into the extension

cord. Do not alter the plug of the

product or any extension cord being

used with this product. Do not attempt

to defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized plug.

If this appliance is equipped with a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other), please follow the below

instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

this plug is intended to t into a

polarized outlet only one way. If you

are unable to t the plug into the

electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If an 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 product; (2) the

extension cord should be arranged so

that it will not drape over the counter

top or tabletop where it can

unintentionally be pulled on or tripped

over by children or pets.

Note: A short power cord is provided

to reduce the risk of personal injury

resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or

extension cords may be used if care

is exercised in their use.

HOW TO USE

Always preheat the quesadilla maker before use. Plug cord

into a power outlet while preparing the llings.

1. When using for the rst time, wipe the surface of the

cooking plates with a damp cloth and let dry.

2. To prevent sticking for the rst time, use a light coat of

cooking oil.

3. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Both the Red and

Green light will turn on.

4. Close the quesadilla maker and prepare desired

quesadillas while the unit is heating up.

5. When the quesadilla maker’s thermostat has reached the

right temperature, the Green Cook light will turn off.

6. Open the top of the quesadilla maker; place a slice of

tortilla onto the bottom plate.

7. Fill with desired quesadilla condiments. Lay top layer of

tortilla over the top of lling.

8. Close the top lid of the quesadilla maker; DO NOT force

shut. Lock the front latch if necessary. Steam will eject

from between the quesadilla maker so please ensure that

ngers/hands/face do not come into contact with steam.

9. Your quesadilla will be cooked in 3-5 min. Over-grilling will

cause the lling to melt out the sides of the tortillas.

10. When your quesadilla is ready, gently raise the lid with

potholders and use a plastic or wooden spatula to remove

the quesadilla from the cooking plate.

11. Close the top of quesadilla maker to preserve heat until

ready to use on the next quesadilla.

12. After use, wait until the Green Ready/Cook Indicator Light

is “OFF” before unplugging the quesadilla maker to avoid

sparks at the outlet.

13. Unplug and allow unit to cool before cleaning and putting

away.

NOTE:

The rst use will burn

off the manufacture

protective coating.

This may cause slight

smoking from unit. It

is not harmful and will

stop after the rst use.

While the unit is

heating up and

cooking your

quesadilla, the Green

Cook light will

periodically turn on

and off to maintain

the right temperature.

CAUTION:

Use potholders or

oven mitts when

working with the

hot unit.

Do not use sharp-

edged or metal

utensils that

may damage the

nonstick surface.

Do not leave

plastic utensils on

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Always allow the machine to cool down completely before

cleaning.

2. Clean the unit only after you have unplugged it for 2 – 3

hours.

3. Wipe the inside of the unit with a damp cloth or paper

towel.

4. Wipe the exterior of the quesadilla maker with a damp

cloth. Make sure that no moisture, oil or grease remains in

the cooling slots.

5. Grease Catcher can be hand-washed with warm soapy

water.

6. NEVER clean the interior/exterior with a scouring pad,

abrasive or steel wool as this will damage the nish.

HELPFUL TIPS

1. When making the quesadillas, use fresh, 8-inch our

tortillas.

2. Suitable llings for the quesadillas include shredded

cheese, salsa, thinly sliced pieces of cooked meats and

poultry, and/or vegetables. Do not use any foods with

bones or pits.

3. Do not over-stuff the quesadillas as the lling may leak

into the reservoir. The lling should be spread evenly up

to a 1/2 inch on the tortilla.

4. Quesadillas should be slightly crisp but not overdone. Do

not grill for more than 5 minutes.

5. To reheat previously grilled quesadillas, match up the

triangle shapes to those on the Cooking Plates. Reheat for

1 - 2 minutes.

CAUTION:

Do not immerse

the unit in water.

Do not put any

tension on the

cord by wrapping

it around the

appliance.
