USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all packaging and labels from the plate. Before throwing the packing material away, make sure you have removed all parts of the new appliance.
We recommend you keep the box and packing to re-use in the future.
Please note: Before use, clean the base, cover and dials with a damp cloth to remove dust accumulated during transport. Clean the cooking plates and grease tray thoroughly. The plates and grease tray are dishwasher safe.
Please note: The first time you use the appliance, it may give off a slight odor and a little smoke. This is normal and common to all appliances with non-stick surfaces.
Please note: the removable cooking plates (grill and griddle) are fully interchangeable on the appliance.

Inserting the cooking plates

• Place the appliance in the flat position (see figure 1). Insert one plate at a time.
• Each grill or griddle plates can be inserted in either the top or bottom housing (see figure 2), except waffle plates.

To remove the plates
Identify the plate release buttons (3) on the right side. Press the button decisively to eject the plate from the base. Hold the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal supports and remove it from the base. Press the other release button to remove the second plate, following the same operations.
Danger of burns!! Remove or change the cooking plates when the appliance has cooled down.

Positioning the grease tray
During cooking, the grease tray must be inserted in its housing on the back of the appliance. The grease coming from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and gathered in the tray.
Please note: During cooking, check the grease tray frequently and pull out to avoid excess liquid grease.

After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately. The grease tray is dishwasher safe.

Important! Pay attention during cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the handgrip which remains cold. The die-cast aluminum parts become very hot, avoid touching them during and immediately after cooking. Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Cook only with the grease tray in place. Do not empty the grease tray until the appliance is completely cool. Take care when pulling out the grease tray in order to avoid spilling the liquid.

COOKING POSITIONS
Contact grill (closed position)
The upper plate rests on the lower plate. This is the starting position and also one of the cooking positions when the appliance is used as a contact grill. The cover automatically adjusts to the thickness of the food on the plate.
The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.

The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches. The “contact” function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both sides at once (see figure 3).

The grease from the food is drained and collected by the grooves on the plate and the hole at the back and is collected in the grease tray.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing the upper plate to be adjusted according to the thickness of the food. If you want to cook a number of different types of food simultaneously using the contact grill, the various foods should have the same thickness to allow the cover to be closed evenly.

Open Grill
The upper plate is level with the lower plate. The lower and upper plates are both at the same level, forming a large cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can be used in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or the griddle plate. To place the appliance in this position, first identify the hinge release lever on the left. Hold the handgrip with the right hand and with the left, slide the release lever upwards (see figure 4).

Push the handgrip backwards until the cover rests upside down in the flat position (see figure 5). Lifting the handgrip slightly before pulling the release lever lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the operation. The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare hamburgers, steak, chicken and fish. The grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile. The grill plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking surface (see figure 6). You can prepare a number of different foods on the separate plates without mixing the flavors, or cook more of the same food.
The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of meat with different thicknesses, each with the preferred level of cooking. In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking.
The appliance can also be used as a griddle/barbecue plate to prepare pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and sausages for breakfast (see figure 7). The large cooking surface enables a number of different foods to be prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of the same food.

Oven Grill
This position (see figure 8) is suitable for grilling without contact thick foodstuffs that need to be roasted slowly and uniformly. It is ideal for preparing vegetables with high water content, so the water can evaporate.
You can also use this hot plate position to prepare soft sandwiches and foods which do not require pressing.

• Place the food on the lower plate.
• Bring the upper plate near the food, holding the handle (fig. A).
• Put the grill plates lock/release and Hight adjustment lever (4) to desired oven position by sliding the lever.
• The upper plate is locked in position. There are 5 positions of height regulation (fig. B).

USE
MANUAL mode
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you are ready to cook, you can set a temperature from 60°C to 240°C for each grill plate (upper and lower) independently (using the thermostat dials 9 and 16). Press the start/stop button and the ON light will come on. The appliance takes some minutes to heat up depending on the set temperature. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. “READY” appears on the display. The temperature can be changed at any time during cooking.

TIMER function
When “READY” appears on the display, select the cooking position (see the section “Cooking Position”), then place the food on the plates. The cooking time can be selected by pressing the timer/ temperature probe buttons (14 and 15); at the end of the cooking time “END” is displayed, the appliance emits 5 beeps, but the appliance remains on. When the food is cooked, switch the appliance off by pressing the start/stop button (8) or turn the thermostat dials (9 and 16) to the “●” position.
Please note: the appliance will turn off automatically after 90 minutes of operation.

SEAR function
This feature heats the upper and/or lower plates to a higher temperature for a few minutes. It is ideal for quickly searing foods at the beginning of cooking (ideal for thick meat). Press the start/stop button, then preheat the plates by pressing the sear buttons (10 and 17).
During the preheating ,the LEDs around the sear button blink. Once the plate reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits a beep, the LED stays on and fixed for one minute.
Put the food on the plates immediately; during this one minute, the appliance regulates the plate at the sear temperature. After that, the LED turns off, the display shows the temperature set by the thermostat dials and the appliance regulates the plate accordingly.

Please note: This function can be used once only in every 30 minutes. After the cycle, if you press the sear function within 30 minutes, the LED around the sear button blink 5 times and the appliance will play 3 beeps. The operation cannot be set on the control.

WAFFLE mode (some models only)

• Insert the waffle plates (19c/19d) as show in fig.1. Please note that in this case the plates are not interchangeable and the position of each plate must be as shown in figure 9.
• Once the lower plate is inserted in the appliance, OFF-1-2 or 3 appears on the display (depends on the position of the knobs). Turn the thermostat dials to the desired position (1= light, 2= medium, 3= dark) and press the start/stop button.
• The appliance starts the preheating phase. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits a beep, and is ready to use. “READY” appears on the display.

• Lightly grease the plates with melted butter

• Add one dosing cup for two waffle areas.

• Spread the batter slightly and close the appliance.

• Cook according to the time indicated in the recipes.
  If you set the timer, three beeps will sound at the end of the cooking cycle, the timer will disappear and “END” will appear on the display; the appliance remains on. At the end of the last waffle press the “start/stop” button to switch off the appliance.

• To cook additional waffles, simply add batter to the lower waffle plate and follow the above steps.

Important! do not use metal tools when removing the waffle from the waffle plates as they may scratch the non-stick surface.
Please note: This function has been optimized with the appliance working in CLOSED position.

SANDWICH function
This function is ideal for toasting bread on the outside and heating the inside of the sandwich.
Press the SANDWICH button (11), the function LED lights up and the default time (05:00) appears on the display. The time can be changed at any time simply pressing buttons – (14) + (15); the temperature is already set, it cannot be changed because knobs are deactivated.
Press the START / STOP button and the ON light will come on (the time on the display will start flashing). The appliance starts the preheating phase.
When the thermostat reaches the temperature, the appliance emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. “READY” appears on the display. Place the sandwich on the lower plate as shown in figure 10, close with the upper one and press the SANDWICH button to start the countdown. At the end of cooking five beeps will sound and “–:- -” will appear on the display. At the end of the last sandwich press START / STOP button to switch off the appliance.

Important! do not use metal tools when removing the sandwich as they may scratch the non-stick surface.
Please note: starting from ready situation, if you do not press the sandwich button for the second time within 60 minutes, the appliance turn off. This function has been optimized with the appliance working in CLOSED position.

HAMBURGER function
This function is ideal for cooking hamburger. Press the HAMBURGER button (12), the function LED lights up and the default time (08:00) appears on the display. The time can be changed any time simply pressing buttons – (14) + (15); the temperature is already set, it cannot be changed because knobs are deactivated. Press the START / STOP button and the ON light will come on (the time on the display will start flashing). The appliance starts the preheating phase. When the thermostat reaches the temperature, the appliance emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. “READY” appears on the display. Place the hamburger on the lower plate as shown in figure 11, close with the upper one and press the HAMBURGER button to start the countdown.

At the end of cooking, five beeps will sound and “–:- -”will appear on the display. At the end of the last hamburger press START / STOP button to switch off the appliance.

Important! do not use metal tools when removing the hamburger as they may scratch the non-stick surface.

Please note: starting from ready situation, if you do not press the hamburger button for the second time within 60 minutes, the appliance turn off. This function has been optimized with the appliance working in CLOSED position.

KEEP WARM function
This function is ideal for keeping food warm at the end of cooking, before serving on the table. Press the KEEP WARM icon (13), the function LED lights up.
Once the function is activated, the temperatures of the plates will change automatically from previous setting to 60 °C; since the plates do not cool down immediately, we recommend cooking the food a few minutes less (it will finish cooking during the keep warm).
We do not recommend using this function for foods such as fillets and steaks because if they remain hot for long time they will tend to boil. Very suitable for fatty foods such as sausages, ribs or poultry, hamburgers, vegetables, polenta and some types of fish.

• If cooking time has not been set, by pressing the KEEP WARM button (13) the function will start immediately (the time will appear on the display and 6 bars will flash instead of the temperatures).
• If the cooking time was set and press the KEEP WARM button (13), at the end of the set time the appliance will automatically switch to keep warm function.

To switch off the appliance, press Start/Stop button or, only in case of manual mode, set the 2 knobs in “●” position.
It is not possible to switch from the KEEP WARM function to cooking. Always first reset the function by switching off the appliance. The KEEP WARM function will automatically turn off after 60 minutes of use.
If you connect the probe and you select the KEEP WARM function before pressing the Start/Stop button, when the food temperature reaches the required temperature the appliance will automatically switch to KEEP WARM function.
Important! if use the keep warm function with hamburger or sandwich functions, both plates will remain on even if the knobs are in “●” position.
If use the keep warm function while cooking in manual mode (contact grill, oven grill, open grill), only the plates in operation will be on (if a knob is “●” during cooking, that plate will remain OFF even in the keep warm function).

TEMPERATURE PROBE
This accessory is ideal for controlling the internal temperature of the food so it can be cooked at the desired temperature. Insert the probe (22) in its connector (18) as shown in figure 12, the display will automatically switch from timer mode to temperature of the probe as shown in figure 13.

The probe can be used in two different ways; the first simply to check the temperature of the food whenever you want. Check the temperature of the food by inserting and then re-moving the probe from the food. The second option is to leave it directly inside the food during cooking; in this case you can set the target temperature by pressing the timer/tempera-ture probe buttons – (14)

• (15) as shown in figure 14. Once the set temperature has been reached, the appliance will emit 3 beeps (we always recommend checking the food in several points before removing from the cooking plate to be sure you have inserted the probe in the center of the food). The appliance will remain on. If a cooking time is set and then the probe is inserted, the numbers on the display are always those of the temperature of probe and it will be not possible to see the previous time set (to do this, remove the probe).

In this case, having set 2 controls (timer and target temperature), the appliance will continue to count down the time, at the end will emit 5 beeps while upon reaching the target temperature it will emit 3 beeps. In both cases the appliance will remain on. If I use the probe in the HAMBURGER function, the default target temperature is 80 °C; you can change it by pressing the timer/temperature probe buttons – (14) + (15). The time in the automatic functions is always set even if it is not seen when the probe is inserted.
If use the probe in the sandwich function, the probe can only monitor the temperature and there is not a target temperature. The time in the automatic functions is always set even if it is not seen when the probe is inserted.

Important! the tip is pointed, be careful to handle it. Keep out of reach of children.
Danger of burns!! temperature probe can only be used to measure the temperature of the food. When inserting in the food, be careful not to touch the heating parts!
Please note: the probe can’t be washed in the dishwasher or immersed in water, you are therefore recom-mended to clean the outside of the probe with a soft sponge or cloth dampened with water and mild detergent.
