Before First Use

Press the Upper Plate Release Button to remove the upper Grill Plate and then press the Lower Plate Release Button to remove the lower Grill Plate. Clean the Grill Plates, the Drip Cups, and the Scraper/Cleaning Tool in warm, soapy water; rinse and let dry. These parts may also be washed in an automatic dishwasher. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE INTO OR EXPOSE IT TO WATER.

Reinsert the upper and lower Grill Plates into their respective positions before use. See the “Inserting/Changing Plates” subsection below for detailed instructions.

NOTE: When using the Grill Plates for the first time, spray or apply a thin layer of cooking oil onto the nonstick surfaces of the Plates with a paper towel in order to season the nonstick surface. As necessary, reapply a thin layer of cooking oil throughout the life of the Plates to maintain best nonstick performance.

To Assemble

Place the product on a clean, flat, level, stable, heat-resistant surface with at least 4-6 inches of space on all sides to allow adequate air circulation.

Positioning the Upper Housing:

1. Closed/Heating Position: The Upper Housing is closed and rests on the Base. Use this position when starting/heating the product and when grilling most foods.

2. Open Position: The Upper Housing is open. Place the Product in this position when starting to use the Grill function, and when grilling certain foods in which the upper Grill Plate is not appropriate, such as pizza or fish. Lift the Handle until the Upper Housing is at about a 90°angle.

3. Flat Position: The Upper Housing is open and level with the Base, creating two cooking surfaces. Use the product in this position when grilling larger amounts of food. To flatten, pull up on the Hinge Release and push the Handle down.

Inserting/Changing Plates:

1. Slide the notches in the rear of the lower Grill Plate into the retaining hooks, then press down on the front of the plate to snap it into place. Repeat to attach the upper Grill Plate.

To Use

WARNING: The Grill Plates and metal surfaces of the Upper Housing and Handle will become very hot during use. To avoid a burn hazard, wear protective oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when using and touch only the black portion of the Handle.

NOTICE: Use only heat-resistant wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to add/ remove food. Do not use a metal utensil as it may scratch the surface of the item.

NOTE: During the initial use this item may emit some light smoke. This is normal and will subside with further use.

Contact Grill:

Use to cook burgers, boneless or thin pieces of meat and fish, and vegetables. In the “Closed” position, food will cook quickly since both sides cook at the same time.

1. Set the product to the “Closed” position and plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The Power Indicator will illuminate red, indicating power is on.
2. Place a Drip Cup below the drip spout
3. Turn the Temperature Control to the desired setting, as listed below:
   Setting| Temperature
   ---|---
   min| close
   max| 425ºF (230ºC)

NOTE: It may take up to seven minutes to reach the selected cooking temperature. The Ready Indicator will illuminate green when the product is ready for cooking and will alternate on and off during cooking, indicating the product is maintaining the selected cooking temperature.

4. Place food onto the lower Grill Plate and lower the upper Grill Plate onto the food (the “Closed” position). The upper Grill Plate will self-adjust to the thickness of the food. If cooking items in which the upper Grill Plate is not needed, such as kebabs or fish, leave the product in the “Open” position.
5. When cooking is completed, remove food, unplug the product from the electrical outlet, and allow the product to cool (at least 30 minutes) before moving, disassembling, or cleaning it.

NOTE: If cooking more than one piece of food at a time, food items should be similar in thickness to ensure the upper Grill Plate rests evenly on the food for even cooking.

CAUTION: Always unplug the product from the electrical outlet when cooking is complete and when the product is not in use.

Panini Press:

Use upper and lower Grill Plates in the “Closed” position to grill any combination of ingredients (for example, vegetables, meats, and cheeses) layered between two pieces of bread or a folded tortilla/pita.

1. Follow steps 1 through 3 in the “Contact Grill” section, above.

2. Place food on the Lower Grill Plate and lower the upper Grill Plate onto the food. The Upper Housing will self-adjust to the thickness of the food.
   NOTE: If cooking more than one piece of food at a time, food items should be sim lar in thickness to ensure the upper Grill Plate rests evenly on the food for even cooking.

3. When cooking is completed, remove food, unplug the product from the electrical outlet, and allow the product to cool(about 30 minutes) before moving, disassembling, or cleaning it.

NOTE: Always unplug the product from the electrical outlet when cooking is complete and when the product is not in use.

Flat Grill:

Using the product in the “Flat” position doubles the cooking surface area and allows cooking of items with different thicknesses simultaneously, or cooking foods on different plates to avoid combining flavors. Use for cooking French toast, hash browns, open face sandwiches, and kebabs.

1. Set the product to the “Flat” position and plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The Power Indicator will illuminate red, indicating power is on.

2. Use both Drip Cups when cooking in the Flat position.
   NOTE: It may take up to eight minutes to reach the selected cooking temperature. The Ready indicator will illuminate green when the product is ready for cooking. The Ready indicator will alternate on and off during cooking, indicating the product is heating to maintain the selected cooking temperature.

3. Turn the Temperature Control to the desired setting.

4. Place food onto the Grill Plates.

5. When cooking is completed, remove food, unplug the product from the electrical outlet, and allow the product to cool (about 30 minutes) before moving, disassembling, or cleaning it.

CAUTION: Always unplug the product from the electrical outlet when cooking is complete and when the product is not in use.

Care and Maintenance

WARNING: Always make sure the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allowed to completely cool before relocating, disassembling, or cleaning it.

NOTICE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or pads to clean the product.
