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

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquids.
3. Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning, putting on or taking off parts.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
6. When using the oven/coffee maker, place on a stable, heat resistant surface.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
13. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.
14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.
15. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other material other than metal or glass.
16. Do not place any of the following materials on the unit: Paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.
17. 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 recommended by countertop manufacturers that a hot pad or trivet be placed under your appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.

DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

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 are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

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.

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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified 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.

HOW TO USE

USING THE TOASTER OVEN

Before First Use of Toaster Oven:

1. Make sure the Timer Control Knob is set to "0" position before plugging the power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Set the Timer Control Knob to pre-heat the oven for 15-min using mode 1 (griddle and oven working together) until the smoke and odor no longer persist.
3. Turn the Timer Control Knob to the "0" position and remove the power cord from the wall outlet.

NOTE: The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is normal and harmless and comes from the protective substance applied to the heating elements during manufacturing.

Using the Timer Control Knob:

1. In order for the toaster oven to turn on, the Timer Control Knob must be set.
2. Turn the Timer Control Knob clockwise to select the desired time. (Maximum time 15-minutes)
3. Once the desired time frame has expired, the timer bell will ring loudly and the oven will turn OFF automatically.
4. If you wish to shut the timer off earlier than the programmed time, you can manually turn it off by turning the Timer Control Knob counter clockwise to the "0" position.

Using the Toaster Oven

1. When using the broiler tray, preheat the oven for 2-minutes.
2. When toasting, place the food directly onto the baking rack.
3. Always keep the door closed when the oven is in use.
4. The oven can be used to defrost or heat up frozen foods. The time will depend on the size and the temperature of the food.
5. To ensure uniform defrosting, divide the food into smaller portions if possible and wrap in aluminum foil.

OPERATING CONTROLS

USING THE BREAKFAST GRIDDLE

USING THE COFFEE MAKER
