THE STACK5® DOES IT ALL The Stack5® is the ultimate kitchen appliance, offering you six separate cooking options. GRILL Use the Stack5® as a grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry, fish and vegetables. When the Stack5® is being used as a grill, use the removable, non-stick grill plate. GRIDDLE Use the Stack5® as a griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats. When the Stack5® is being used as a griddle, use the removable, non-stick baking pan. BROWN/SAUTÉ The Stack5® can function as an electric skillet. Use the non-stick baking pan to brown or sauté ingredients as an independent skillet dish or as the foundation to a slow-cooked dish. SLOW COOK The 5-quart, non-stick baking pan for the Stack5® is the perfect-sized vessel to create a variety of slow-cooked meals. BAKE Use the Stack5® to create baked cakes and casseroles using the non-stick baking pan. STEAM Steam anything from artichokes to broccoli to chicken breasts in the Stack5®. Use the stainless steel steam rack inside the baking pan with a minimum of 3 cups of water to steam. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Place your Stack5® on a clean, flat surface where you intend to cook. The Stack5® can be positioned in three ways: Grill Plate Position: Place the grill plate on top of the heater plate. Baking Pan Position: Place the baking pan on top of the heater plate. Steam Position: Place the baking pan on top of the heater plate, add the steam rack to the baking pan. NOTE: Make sure steam rack is resting on the pan support shelf, not the handle rivets. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Once the Stack5® is assembled properly and you are ready to begin cooking, turn the dial clockwise to select desired cooking temperature. Temperatures range from WARM to 400˚F. When the unit is plugged in, the upper white indicator and blue ready light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on. Once a temperature is selected, the ready light will go out. It may take up to 10 minutes to reach the selected temperature, depending on the temperature level that was set. When the thermostat has reached operating temperature, the lower blue ready light will indicate that the Stack5® is ready for cooking. During operation, the light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal. The temperature controls are used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking surface. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so depending 4
