BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard any packaging material or promotional labels before using your grill for the first time. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE
When using the grill for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.

The grill can be used as a grill for searing meats and vegetables or as a sandwich press for toasting bread and focaccias. It also features an adjustable height control feature which allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate.

TO USE AS A GRILL

1. Insert the power plug into a 220-240V power outlet and turn the power ON. The red POWER light will illuminate.

2. Turn the variable temperature control to SEAR for fast heat up. Allow the grill to pre-heat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green READY light illuminates.

3. When the grill has preheated, place the foods to be cooked onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place foods towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
   NOTE
   The grill can be used to cook foods in the open or closed position.

4. Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods.
   

5. Grilling times will depend on the food being cooked.

6. Once the food is cooked, use the handle to open the grill and raise the top cooking plate. Remove food with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

TO USE AS A SANDWICH PRESS

1. Insert the power plug into a 220-240V power outlet and turn the power ON. The red POWER light will illuminate.
2. Turn the variable temperature control to the SANDWICH setting. Allow the grill to preheat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green READY light illuminates.
3. When the sandwich press has pre-heated, place the sandwich onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.
5. Once the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the grill and raise the top cooking plate. Remove the sandwich with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

USING THE ADJUSTABLE GRILLING HEIGHT CONTROL FEATURE

The adjustable height control feature allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate. This allows your grill to be used to grill delicate ingredients such as fish and hamburger buns without squashing. It can also be used for toasting open sandwich melts and snacks where you don’t need to apply the height of the top plate.

1. Turn the variable temperature control to SEAR or SANDWICH setting and allow the grill to pre-heat until the green READY light illuminates.

2. Place food to be grilled or your sandwich to be melted on the bottom plate.

3. Move the adjustable height control clip on the right-hand side of the grill to the desired height.

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the adjustable height control clip.

5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to lightly grill foods or melt ingredients such as cheese. Grilling and toasting times will be a matter of taste. It will depend on the height of the top plate.

USING THE ANGLE ADJUST NON-SLIP FEET

Your grill features unique extendable feet which are designed to level the bottom plate when cooking foods such as sausages. This ensures the sausages do not roll off the hotplate but still drain the maximum amount of fat while cooking.

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL

The grill features a variable temperature control dial which allows a variety of foods to be cooked. With the dial set on SEAR, the temperature is correctly suited to grill meats or other foods.

With the dial set on SANDWICH, the temperature is correctly suited to toasting sandwiches. The variable temperature control dial allows you to select a setting suited to the
foods which are being cooked.

CARE & CLEANING

Before cleaning, switch the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug. Allow your grill to cool before cleaning. The grill is easier to clean when slightly warm.
Always clean your grill after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue. For baked-on food, residue squeezes some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue then clean with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

Remove and empty the drip tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace. Alternatively, the drip tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

DURABLE NON-STICK COATING

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier. When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash with warm soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.

NOTE
Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

STORAGE

To store your grill:

1. Switch off the grill and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2. Allow the grill to fully cool.
3. Slide the height control clip towards the front handle to the LOCK position so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together.
4. Click the removable drip tray into place.
5. Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the grill.
6. Store on a flat, dry level surface.

NOTE
The storage clip should not be used to clamp down the top plate when food is in the grill.
