This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug. To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the flatbread maker in water. To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the flatbread maker. This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the flatbread maker. Use only an extension cord rated 10 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Always use hot mitts to protect hands when opening the flatbread maker. CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause burns. WARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury, allow unit to cool before lifting or moving. Do not lift or move while in operation. 2» Flatbrrad Hiker Safety 840052500 U&C v05 12/22/98 10:13 AM Page 3 (1,1) Contents Flatbread Maker Safety....................2 Parts and Features............................3 Operating Instructions....................4-5 Cleaning............................................6 Storing................................................6 History of Flatbread..........................7 Fusion Cooking..................................7 Flatbread Basics............................8-9 Tips for Success..........................10 Mixing the Dough by Hand............11 Convenience Dough........................12 The Fold, the Roll, the Wrap............13 Ethnic Foods, Ingredient Substitutions, and Package Sizes..................................14 Nutritional Information......................15 Troubleshooting................................16 Flatbread Recipes......................17-45 Filling Recipes..........................46-122 Customer Service..........................123 Pirts and Features 840052500 U&C v06 12/29/98 3:43 PM Page 4 (1,1) Before first use, wash the Cover and Bread Paddle in hot, soapy water.
