margarine or cooking fat. Since the appliance
has a non-stick coated surface, the use of butter

light and the green ready light will come on to
indicate that the appliance is switched on and
heating.

During use, this ready light will come on
and out regularly. This simply means that
the thermostat is regulating the appliance's
temperature.
