Installing the Removable Temperature Control Probe
This appliance ships with a removable temperature control that must be installed before operation.

To install the Temperature Control:

1. Make sure it is unplugged from the outlet!
2. Make sure it knob is set to the OFF position!
3. Make sure the grill, terminal post (where the probe plugs in) and probe are all dry.
4. Insert the probe, gently, straight into the side of the grill. Make sure it snaps securely into place.

Operating the Grill

Do not plug in the appliance until it is time to heat the unit and start the cooking process. Do not leave it plugged in if it is not in use! Always attach the temperature probe to the grill before plugging it into the wall!

1. Position the grill on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Always leave a gap of approximately 20 cm. around the exterior of the appliance. Never use the grill near curtains, walls, under cupboards or other flammable materials. Your counter-top finish or surface may be affected by heat. Do not place the grill on any surface where heat may cause a problem.

2. Make sure the removable drip tray (4) is inserted into the base (5) properly (see the previous page). DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL WITHOUT THE DRIP TRAY IN PLACE. Hot grease will spill onto the surface below, potentially causing damage or injury.

3. Fill the drip tray with water to the maximum level indicated on the tray. This makes cleaning much easier and helps the grill operate without smoke.

4. Position the grill plate (2) onto the base. The control section can be placed on either side. The grill plate should fit securely into the grooves of the base.

5. Make sure the temperature control probe (3) is unplugged and set to OFF. Insert it into the side of the grill, as seen on the previous page.

6. Plug the grill into the wall outlet and rotate the dial to the desired temperature setting (see the chart on the next page). Allow the grill to preheat for a few minutes.
   CAUTION : THE GRILL AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE WILL GET HOT DURING COOKING AND PREHEATING.

7. Place the food on the grill. Be careful not to overload it. Don’t stack food.

8. Let the food cook. Follow the suggested cooking times for the recipe used.

9. Remove the food with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils. Do not cut food while it is on the grill surface. This is unsafe and bad for your grill. Be careful when removing cooked food from the grill. It will be hot!

10. When you are finished using the appliance, be sure to turn the temperature dial to the OFF position. Then, unplug the appliance from the wall! Do not touch the grill surface, as it will still be hot. Allow it to cool before touching again.

Additional Operating Instructions and Tips

• Remove food with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils.
• Don’t cut food while it is on the grill.
• When possible, use low to medium heat for best cooking results. This also prevents discoloration of the grill and lengthens its life span. Use a meat thermometer to make sure that meats are cooked to a desired and safe temperature.
• To store the appliance, make sure that all parts are clean, dry and cooled. Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry location. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
