H i n ts For Best Result s
1.
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED.
2. Only use 10-inch flour tortillas when making quesadillas with the
Santa Fe
Q u e s a d i l l a M a k e r
. Tortillas should be fresh and
pliable, not dried out or stiff.
3. Only use soft filling ingredients like shredded cheese, salsa, shredded
or thinly sliced pieces of cooked meat, poultry or vegetables. Do not
use with any foods that have bones or pits since they could damage
the Cooking Plates.
4. Do not overfill the quesadilla, as the filling may leak out into the Built-
In Non-Stick Drip Reservoir.
5. Do not fill the tortilla with more than 1/4 cup shredded cheese and/or
1/2 cup liquid ingredients like salsa, as they may leak out when
heated. Do not use processed cheese, because it turns into liquid
when heated and will leak out into the Built-In Non-Stick Drip
Reservoir and Removable Drip Tray.
6. For best results, fillings should be spread as evenly as possible, up to
1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla so that the edges can seal
together.
7. Cooked quesadillas should only be slightly crisp with some light
browning. Do not grill quesadillas longer than 5 minutes, as the filling
may get too hot and start to leak. The average grilling time for a
quesadilla on the preheated

minutes.

mechanism.

before grilling the next quesadilla.
