OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use

• Clean the appliance using dry cotton cloth prior to first use. Clean the hot plates and the drip trays carefully, see the section “Cleaning and maintenance” below. Do not use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaners.
• Do not forget to return the drip tray in its place.
• Unwind the power cable fully.

Note: When you first start heating up, you may experience slight odor or smoke. This is normal for most appliances with heating elements and does not present a threat to safety of your appliance. For this reason, we recommend that plates are “burned” without food prior to first use, until the odour or smoke is reduced. Keep the grill closed when burning off.

Food preparation
Warning:

• Turn off the grill not only with the thermostat controller, but always disconnect the power cord from the socket after each use.
• Do not use the appliance for defrosting or cooking of frozen foods. All foods must be completely defrosted before processing by this appliance.
• The plates and the metal surfaces of the appliance become very hot during operation. To avoid burns, use heat-resistant gloves and touch only the handles and parts designed to be touched.
• Do not use metal utensils, which could scratch and damage the non-stick surface of the plates.

Notes:

• You can use the grill in 3 positions. 1) Baking2) Grilling 3) BBQ.
• Reaching the working temperature takes about 3 to 5 minutes, the cooking time is shown in the table at the beginning of this manual.
• These times are only approximate. cooking time depends on the type and thickness of the food.
• The foods should be thoroughly cooked before eating. If you are not sure, better lengthen the cooking time somewhat.

The position for baking and grilling

• Baking: You can decide if the upper plate will bake the food directly (contact grill) or if you leave a space between the food and the upper plate and will just heat the food from the top – position (1).
• Grilling: You can leave the upper unused plate in the 90° position – position (2).

1. Place the excess grease tray to the drip groove. The tilt of the grill can be easily changed using adjustable feet located at the bottom of the grill for better grease removal.

2. Place the grill on a level and dry surface and plug the power cable in the electrical outlet. The grill turns on and the red indicator POWER comes on.

3. Using the thermostat control, set the required temperature an let the grill to warm up. Green light READY indicates that the plates are heating up. Once the plate is heated to the set temperature, the indicator goes off.

4. Opening the grill:
   • Check, if the grill is heated to the required temperature (indicator light READY is off ).
   • Use the handle to open the lid with the upper plate (slider to adjust the height of the grill on the right side of the upper plate must be in the “OPEN” position). • Lightly apply butter, shortening or oil on the plates.
   • Place food on the bottom grilling plate.

5. Using the handle, close the upper plate.
   • On the right side of the upper plate is a  slider 9, which can be used to fix the top plate at two different heights from the lower plate. If you want to set the required height, raise the upper plate using the handle and move the slider in the position of the required height in the same time. Then lower the upper plate slowly until it reaches the stop 10.

6. When the food is cooked, remove it from the plates using wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils.

Using the open grill (position 3)
This position provides a bigger grilling surface and allows separate cooking of foods, e.g. when grilling meat and vegetables in the same time.

1. Fully opened grill in 180° position:
   • Hold the handle and in the same time press the lock for opening of the grill

2. • Raise the upper plate using the handle and lay it carefully in the horizontal position. You can use the handle then as a support for the opened upper plate. Place the excess grease tray to the drip grooves.

3. Insert the plug of the power cable in the electrical outlet.

4. Turn the thermostat control to set the desired temperature. Once the plates are heated to the set temperature, the green indicator light READY turns off.

5. Lightly apply butter, shortening or oil on the plates.

6. Place the food on the grilling plates.

7. When the food is cooked, remove it from the plates using wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance from the power supply and wait until the appliance and the plates cool thoroughly before cleaning.
• Clean the external surfaces with only moistened cloth to prevent water, oil or grease from getting into the appliance.
• Empty the grease trays content after each use. Then wash them with hot water with a detergent solution, rinse thoroughly and dry carefully.
• Wipe the plates using wet cloth or dishtowel. Then dry them thoroughly.
• In case that on the plates sticks baked food residue, you can put on the cooled plates a damp paper towel or wrung out cloth and let the baked food residue soak off by itself.
