IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

1. Use only with AC 110-120 Volt, 50/60 Hz
2. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plug, temperature controller or the appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or cause injury.
9. DO NOT let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. DO NOT use the appliance for other than intended use.
12. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, and then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF", then remove the plug from wall outlet.

20. DO NOT operate without the drip tray

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized plug instructions

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Short cord instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

- The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

- The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Use

Before the first use

- Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off any promotional and packaging materials. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust.

- Clean the Grill and the accessories (See “Cleaning and Care”). It is recommended to heat the grill for about 10 minutes without any foodstuff on its surfaces. This helps to eliminate any grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and to eliminate the “new” appliance smell.

- Ventilate the room during this period. When your grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

Operation

• Place the unit on a flat, dry, and heat resistant surface.
• With the thermostat set to "Min", plug the appliance in. The red "Power" light will light up.
• Position the fat collecting tray near the spout on the side of the appliance.
• Turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature level. The "Max" level is better aimed for searing or grilling meat. For Paninis or sandwiches, we recommend a medium setting. For reheating, a low temperature setting is recommended.
• Preheat the grill to reach the ideal cooking temperature. When the appliance reaches the desired temperature, the green pilot light will light up. In order to preheat faster, keep the plates of the appliance closed. Once the target temperature is reached, open the grids to avoid overheating of the unit.
• Apply a little oil or a non-stick cooking spray on the cooking plate if needed. The food can then be placed on the grill.

To use as a contact grill

Use the Grill as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.

• Set the thermostat knob to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the “max” setting. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat or other foods as directed and, using oven mitts and heat-resistant wooden or plastics utensils, place onto the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate, which is equipped with a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods.

Important! Make sure to close the top cooking plate when grilling!

- When grilling is finished, set temperature to "Min", unplug the appliance and leave it open to allow it to cool down.

To use as sandwich press

Use the Grill as press grill to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.

• Set the thermostat knob to your desired setting. At first, try a medium setting. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the sandwiches and, using oven mitts and heat-resistant wooden or plastics utensils, place them onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place the sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate first.
• Close the top cooking plate, which is equipped with a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.
• Cook for about 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting the time to suit your own individual taste.
• When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• To ensure proper and uniform grilling, when cooking more than one food item on the grill, it is important for the thickness of all food items to be consistent, so that the cover will close evenly on the food.

Important! Make sure to close the top cooking plate when grilling!

- When grilling is finished, set temperature to "Min", unplug the appliance and leave it open to allow it to cool down.

Practical hints

• Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.
• To grill meat, turn the thermostat to the maximum position and preheat the grill. For other ingredients, choose the temperature accordingly.
• If you grill vegetables, fish or lean meat, add a little oil on the grids or spray the grilling surface with a non-stick cooking spray. If you are grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the grill prior to cooking.

Maintenance and storage

Cleaning and care

• Put in "MIN" position, pull the plug from the power socket and let the appliance cool down completely before cleaning it.
• Clean the grill plates with a damp cloth, sponge or paper towel.
• Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
• Do not use hard, sharp utensils. If the grill plates are very dirty, use a mild dish detergent. Rinse with hot water on a sponge or towel and dry the plates carefully. Cleaning is best achieved when the grill plates are still slightly warm.
• To clean the housing, use a damp cloth with mild surface cleaning detergent, if necessary.
• The drip tray can be washed in the sink with warm soapy water.
• Make sure no water or other liquid penetrates into the appliance.
  • DO NOT place in the dishwasher
• NEVER clean or rinse the appliance under running water.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Do NOT immerse in water or any other liquid.

Storage

• Always unplug the grill before storage.
• Always make sure the grill is cool and dry before storing.
- The power cord can be wrapped around at the back of the appliance for storage.
- The locking latch on the right side arm of the handle enables you to lock the upper plate in closed position and then store the grill conveniently in a vertical position. The grill can also be stored in a horizontal position.
