IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are
present, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
3. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts or before cleaning.
6. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause hazards.
8. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord
hang over the edge of a table or counter.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
11. Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. To use, plug cord into electric outlet. To disconnect, grasp plug and
remove from outlet. Do not pull on the cord.
13. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
NOTE: This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. A short power supply cord is
provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer
cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, its marked electrical rating
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord
should not drape over the counter or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

Congratulations on the purchase of the GT Xpress 101.
I know you will enjoy this product as much as I do
because it is so easy to use, so versatile and so fast!
Even with today’s busy lifestyle, you will be able to
provide homemade goodness for yourself and your
family!
Finally, everyone can be an expert omelet maker
because all you have to do is add the ingredients –
there’s no turning necessary and the omelets will be evenly browned, puffy
and beautiful. And the specially designed lifting tool will make removal sim-
ple. I know you’ll really enjoy my leftover makeovers – I’ve found the a way
to make those “doggie bags” into something special. There’s no need to run
to the fast food chain on the corner for a Grilled Stuffed Burrito - you can
make them yourself with fresh ingredients in less than 10 minutes! Now
when you’re craving something sweet in the evening and the cookie jar is
empty, you can have chocolate cake with a luscious candy bar filling in just 7
minutes. It will really hit the spot!
I know that after you’ve tried it, you’ll find the GT Xpress 101 indispensable
and you’ll use it every day, so I’ve included plenty of recipes from which to
choose. The key is to keep it out on your counter. You’ll find uses that you
never dreamed of.
Sincerely,
Cathy E. Mitchell

USE
Before using for the first time, wipe the interior and exterior surfaces of the unit
with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust that may have accumulated during
packaging. Dry completely with a soft, dry cloth.
We recommend a one-time seasoning of the nonstick surface of the cooking
wells before using to ensure the nonstick release performance of the finish.
After cleaning and drying, brush the top and bottom of the cooking wells lightly
with cooking oil. Wipe excess oil with an absorbent paper towel or dry cloth.
Close the cover.
After the initial seasoning, oil, butter or margarine and nonstick cooking sprays
are not necessary to keep most foods from sticking. Should you desire to use
one or more to add flavor to the food being cooked, use only a small amount
on the upper and/or lower cooking well surfaces to avoid build up.
Plug the unit into a standard 120V outlet. The ready light will illuminate indicat-
ing that the unit is preheating. Unless otherwise indicated in the recipe, allow
the unit to preheat (approximately 2 to 3 minutes).
Prepare the recipe of your choice.
When the ready light goes out indicating the unit is preheated, fill one or both
wells according to the recipe. Close the cover. The light will cycle on and off
during cooking to maintain proper cooking temperature.
When cooking time has elapsed, carefully open the cover and remove the food
using the enclosed lifting tool. We have included a nylon tool for removing
cooked foods from the wells. To avoid damage to the nonstick surface, use
only plastic, nylon, wood or specially designed utensils for nonstick coatings.
Avoid using metal or sharp objects.
Close cover and wait for the light to go out before adding more ingredients or
unplug and allow unit to cool before cleaning and storing.
Never use the appliance with the cover in the open position.

CATHY’S TIPS
Cooking surfaces will be hot. Use care not to come in contact with hot sur-
faces.
Do not overfill cooking wells.
If food will rise during cooking (omelets, cakes, muffins, etc.), fill the wells
almost to the top of the lower well to allow space for rising during cooking.
When using a standard measuring cup, 3/4 cup is usually the optimum amount.
If foods are not browned on the top, they have not risen sufficiently to touch
the top surface. Fill the bottom wells almost to the top to ensure proper rising
to the cooking surface.
For sandwiches and other items that will not rise during cooking, use enough
filling to bring the top surface in contact with the cooking surface in the cover.
It is not necessary for the cover to close completely. If food does not come in
contact with the top surface, you may choose to turn the food half way through
cooking to ensure adequate browning on the top and bottom surfaces.
Do not open and close lid frequently during the cooking period as the heat will
be lost and additional cooking time will be required.
Use caution when serving food. Fillings may be very hot.
Cathy finds a 2-cup plastic shaker comes in very handy for mixing “pie” crust,
beating eggs, mixing cake batter, etc.
Foods frequently appear done on the outside before the inside is completely
cooked. Be sure to allow entire cooking time and check inside with a tooth-
pick. In many cases they will continue to cook on the without additional
browning of the outside.
Most of the recipes included provide 2 servings. When cooking for more than
2, wrap the first batch in foil and keep warm on top of the GT Xpress 101 while
the second batch is cooking.
Cook different foods at the same time when serving just 1 or when variety is
desired, like the salmon and rice.
Keep a damp towel handy to wipe out the wells after use.
Unless otherwise stated in the recipe, allow the closed unit to preheat until the
red light goes out before adding ingredients to the cooking wells.
Never use sharp or metal tools when removing foods from the wells as they
may damage the nonstick surface. Use only the enclosed lifting tool or other
tools made of materials suitable for use with a nonstick surface such as nylon,
plastic and wood. 5
CLEANING AND STORAGE
After use and before cleaning or storing, remove plug and wait for the unit to
cool completely. Wipe the inside and the edges of the wells with a damp, soft
cloth. Should egg or filling be difficult to remove, use a cleaning pad marked
safe for nonstick cooking surfaces. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the nonstick or the exterior surfaces as
they may cause damage.
There is a handy cord wrap on the bottom of the unit for compact and neat
cord storage. The unit is designed to close and stand on the hinged surface
for compact storage.
