3-Conductor Cord Set: This Flatbread Maker is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a 3 prong groundingtype plug. It should be properly connected to a grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, the grounding prong should never be removed. If needed, purchase a 2-prong adaptor and ground it to the outlet.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

1. Flatbread Maker Base- The Base for the Flatbread Maker holds the oversized Nonstick Baking Plate and the Base Heating Element. The Plate gets hot almost immediately in response to the Heating Element, offering a super-fast preheating time.
   The Base also holds the Temperature Control Dial that can easily be adjusted up to "465°F" for a full range of temperature settings to suit your every baking need.
2. Vented Dome Lid with CoolTouch Handle- The Vented Dome Lid holds the second of two Heating Elements, which creates super-crisp exteriors on your flatbreads by directly heating the top of the bread. It can be easily opened by using the CoolTouch Handle. The Domed Lid contains vents for steam to escape; avoid standing near the steam while operating the Flatbread Maker.
3. Nonstick Baking Plate- The generous 12-inch nonstick Baking Plate easily holds thin, unleavened flatbreads and a variety of other baked goods. Because the surface is nonstick, use only heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid marring the surface.
   Before first use, condition the Plate by coating lightly with a layer of vegetable shortening. Following that treatment, always lightly coat the Baking Plate with cooking spray before adding food to the Plate. If, over time, foods begin to stick, re-condition with a second application of vegetable shortening.
4. Easy Temperature Control Dial- With the ease of the Control Dial, you can quickly set the temperature for your baked goods by turning the Dial to the heat setting you prefer. Allow the Flatbread Maker to preheat for 10 minutes before adding foods to bake.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Place the Flatbread Maker on a level, flat surface that is clean and dry.
2. Ensure that the Flatbread Maker is several inches away from obstructions, such as walls, cabinets, doors, and other appliances. Allow enough room above the Flatbread Maker so the Dome Lid can be fully opened.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the exterior of the Flatbread Maker, Nonstick Baking Plate and Domed Lid. Dry with a paper towel or soft cloth.
4. Plug the unit into the wall outlet and turn the Control Dial to 325°F. Heat Flatbread Maker for a few minutes to prepare the Nonstick Baking Plate for cooking. When done, turn the Control Dial OFF and unplug. Allow to cool completely. Wipe the Nonstick Baking Plate again with a damp cloth and dry.
5. Before using for the first time, use a small amount of vegetable shortening to condition or "season" the Nonstick Baking Plate. Spread a very thin layer of the shortening over all the surface of the Plate. Wipe gently with a paper towel. Preheat as recipe directs.

ASSEMBLY

1. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is set to OFF.
2. Plug the Flatbread Maker into the wall outlet.
3. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate and will stay lit until the Flatbread Maker is unplugged.
4. Use only heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils on the Nonstick Baking Plate.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Lightly coat the Nonstick Baking Plate with cooking spray.
2. Set the temperature desired by turning the Control Dial.
3. Preheat the Flatbread Maker for 10 minutes before adding food.
4. If adding thin bread dough, use a wooden peel or other wooden or plastic heat-resistant utensil to help arrange the dough on the Plate.
5. If food spreads over the edge of the Plate, clean with a dry paper towel, when completely cool, use a damp, soapy cloth to clean. Dry well.
6. Check foods while cooking to determine if the food is done in the middle. Use a thin wooden cake tester or wooden pick. If any batter or crumbs remain on the stick, continue baking until done in the center.
7. When done, remove bread or other foods to a wire baking rack to cool slightly before serving.
8. Always turn the Control Dial to OFF when done baking. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning.

FLATBREAD RECIPES

Blistered Tomato & Mozzarella Foccacia

Cut thin slices of this hearty, fresh tomato and cheese appetizer or game-time snack.

Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and yeast with the warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oil, salt and yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well-mixed. Prepare a floured board and add the dough. Lightly sprinkle the dough with flour and knead for 5 to 10 minutes. If the dough remains sticky, add one tablespoon flour, as needed.

Cover the dough and let stand in a warm area until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. Prepare a floured board and form the dough into a large oval or round to a ½-inch thickness overall. Use fingertips to make dents over the top of the dough and add the tomatoes, pressing each deeply into the dough. Scatter the shredded cheese over the top of the focaccia.

Lightly coat the Nonstick Baking Plate with cooking spray. Preheat the Flatbread Maker to 425°F for five minutes. Transfer the focaccia bread to the Nonstick Baking Plate and close the Lid. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bread is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove with a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula and let stand for 10 minutes to cool. Cut into wedges or slices and serve while warm. Serves 2-4.
