BECKEN

1. Open Position: The upper housing is open. Place the appliance 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.
2. FlatPosition: The upper housing is open and level with the base, creating two cooking surfaces. Use the appliance in this position when grilling larger amounts of food. To flatten, pull up on the hinge Release and push the Handle down.

Insert/Change Plates

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.

How 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 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.

Use as a contract grill:

Use it 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.

[you can trust]

1. Put the appliance on 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.

Setting Temperature
min close
max 230 °C

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

1. 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 appliance in the "Open" position.

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

1. When cooking is completed, remove food, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet, and allow the appliance to cool (at least 30 minutes) before moving, disassembling, or cleaning it.

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

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.
