steam from the bacon to vent while cooking.

doneness of bacon so it does not overcook.

Steam is generated during use that could cause burns or other injury. Stay clear
of the steam when opening the Doors.

carefully remove bacon from the Center Plate. Be sure the Doors are resting on the Leg
Supports to ensure stability.

It is recommended that you use plastic or wooden utensils when removing bacon.
Over time, metal utensils may damage the non-stick cooking surfaces of the Center Plate.
• Before cooking more bacon, check the Drip Tray to ensure it does not need to be emptied.

Avoid grease spills by always checking the Drip Tray before moving the unit. If the
Drip Tray is full, properly dispose of grease prior to moving the unit.
