2 | INTRODUCTION

This grill has an extra large capacity. Sized to fit six burgers, six chicken breasts or four Panini. And, since the grill cooks food from both sides at the same time, it grills quickly and efficiently.

Opti-heat system:

the precision placement of the grill's heating elements, along with the internal temperature sensor, helps maintain even heat across the cooking surface.

Non-stick coating:

the premium non-stick coated grill plates eliminate the annoyance of food that sticks. That means you won't waste time scraping bits of the plates.

Controls:

the raised controls illuminate so you know when thr grill is 'On' or 'Off' and how much cooking time remains. Choose from a variety of temperatures to toast your favorite Panini or sear a juicy steak. Select 'Always on' for continuous grilling or set the timer for a designated cooking time.

Adjustable grill height:

adjust the grill for various thickness of food. Slide the height selector into the desired position, so you can accommodate everything from thick steaks to more delicate grilled cheese sandwiches.

Removable dishwasher-safe grill plates:

take the hassle out of clean up by placing the removable grill plates in the dishwasher.

Internal drip tray:

as the grill sears the outside of meats and poultry, excess fat drains away into the handy, hidden drip tray. After the grill cools, simply slide the tray out and dispose of the drippings after each use. The tray can be placed in the dishwasher for clean up.

Upright storage:

save space in the kitchen with the convenient upright storage of the grill. Just close the grill, slide the locking lever into the locked position, and tuck the grill away standing upright for space saving convenience.

3 BEFORE FIRST USE

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a heat resistant flat and stable surface.

Clean the outside of the appliance with only a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth. Clean the removable grill plates and drip tray with soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Rinse the parts and dry thoroughly.

Before plugging into a socket, check that the voltage in your home corresponds with voltage printed on the appliance.

4 | GRILLING

• Choose the heat setting. Turn the temperature knob clockwise to the desired heat setting - 65^ to 230^ . Consider the following general tips for selecting a heat setting.

100^ - use this setting to keep grilled foods warm until serving.

150^ - choose this setting for toasting breads or sandwiches such as grilled cheese and other Panini-style sandwiches.

200^ - this setting is ideal for grilled burgers, pork chops and chicken breasts.

230^ - try this setting for searing the outside of meats, such as steaks, when you want the outside brown, while the inside stays juicy and pink.

• Preheat the grill. The grill does not begin operating, until the timer is set. To set the timer, turn the timer knob clockwise from the 'Off' position to the desired number of minutes or counterclockwise to the 'Always on' position. Preheat the grill for 5 minutes before inserting food. You will know the grill is preheated when the green 'Ready' light comes on.
• Place food on the preheated grill. Carefully open the grill using the handle and a pot holder, avoiding contact with the hot grill plates. Place the food on the lower grill plate. Carefully close the grill, sandwiching the food in between the hot grill plates. See the Grilling guide on the next page for suggested grilling times.
• Set the timer. To set the timer, turn the timer knob clockwise to the desired number of minutes or counterclockwise to 'Always on'. The 'Always on' feature lets you operate your grill for longer cooking times without needing to watch or reset the timer. If you select a cooking time, as the grilling time elapses, the timer knob will tick and gradually count down to zero. A bell will sound when the timer reaches zero and the grill will stop heating. To cook another round, set the timer again.
• Remove food from the grill. When the food is done, lift the handle and carefully remove it from the grill using a heat-resistant, non-metal utensil. Check the internal temperature of meats and poultry to make sure they are at the desired level of doneness.

Unplug the cord from the outlet when finished cooking. Allow to cool before cleaning or removing the grill plates.

6 | REMOVING THE GRILLPLATES

Always remove the plug from the wall outlet before removing the grill plates from the grill.

Always allow the grill plates to cool fully before removing the grill plates from the grill. Do not remove the grill plates while the unit is in use.

Hold the top grill plate and press the 'Release'-button on the right side of the top housing. Set the top plate aside.

Press the 'Release'-button on the right side of the lower housing. Remove the lower grill plate and set it aside.

7 | INSERTING THE GRILL PLATES

Never plug the cord into the outlet with the grill plates removed from the grill.

Select the bottom grill plate, with the slotted hole, and insert it into the catches on the bottom grill housing. The slotted hole must be aligned in the back of the grill.

Press the front of the grill plate down, locking it in place in the lower housing.

Select the top grill plate, without the slotted hole, and insert it into the catches on the upper grill housing. Press the front of the grill plate, locking it in place in the upper housing.

8 | USING THE HEIGHT SELECTOR

The adjustable height selector may be hot while the grill is in use. Use care when adjusting it.

The grill includes an adjustable height feature that lets you control how much pressure is placed on delicate foods like grilled cheese sandwiches. It provides a stop for the upper housing which limits how far it will close.

• Preheat the grill with the top housing fully closed.
• Open the grill and place your food on the lower plate.
• Set the adjustable height to the desired height and carefully close the grill, lowering the top housing until it rests on the slider.
• If you need to adjust the height, open the grill, reset the slider, and carefully close the grill again.

9 | CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure that before cleaning or storage the timer knob is turned to 'OFF' and the appliance is unplugged. After use, allow the grill to completely cool before cleaning or storing.

Clean the housing with a clean, damp cloth. Clean the removable grill plates and drip tray with soapy water or place them in the dishwasher.

Metal utensils will damage the non-stick coating. Use only non-metal, temperature resistant utensils, such as wood or nylon.

Never use any abrasives for cleaning the appliance. Never immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid to protect against electrical hazards.

Your grill includes a locking feature that holds the grill together so you can conveniently store it upright. Allow the grill to cool completely. Clean the grill plates and housing as needed. Close the grill. Slide the storage lock lever to the locked position.

RECIPES

The grill is not getting hot; what am I doing wrong?

Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet. Then, check to make sure both the heat setting knob and the timer are set. The grill does not begin heating until you set the timer.

My burger patties are only getting grill marks on one side. Why?

Check the adjustable grill height selector lever on your grill. If it is set too high, it may not be sandwiching your burger patties snugly enough to form grill marks on both sides.

When I grill frozen chicken breasts, they are brown on the outside and still pink inside. How can I make sure they are safely cooked?

Be sure to thaw meats and poultry first before grilling. This will ensure that they are evenly cooked through.

Is it okay to grill a thick cut pork chop alongside a thinner pork chop?

It is best to cook meat of the same thickness at the same time. So, either cook one chop and then the other.

Boneless Lemon Garlic Pork Chops (serves 6)

6 boneless pork loin chops

1 shallot, finely minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon

Place all the ingredients except the olive oil into a storage bag to marinate. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or over night. Remove from the refrigerator at least one hour prior to cooking.

Preheat the grill at 200^ until the Ready light comes on. Brush both sides of the grill with the olive oil and place the chops on the grill.

Grill the chops for 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips for grilling perfect Panini

• Use good quality bread.
• Use a combination of ingredients for the filling but don't make the sandwich overly complex. Three to four ingredients is ideal for letting individual flavors shine through.
• Try to select one ingredient that will help bind the sandwich together. Cheese is a good choice because as it melts, it gets sticky. Garlic mayonnaise, olive tapenade, or even barbecue sauce can achieve a similar effect.
• Do not overstuff the Panini or the exterior will cook before the interior has a chance to.
• Once assembled, brush both sides of the sandwich lightly with olive oil.
• Preheat the grill at 150^ until the Ready light comes on.
• When the grill is hot, brush it lightly with olive oil. Place the sandwich in the grill and close the lid. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Panini-combinations:

Grilled chicken, gruyere, tomato and basil

Grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella and olive tapenade
Feta cheese, spinach, pine nuts and roasted garlic

Smoked salmon, vegetable cream cheese and fresh dill Sliced beef, cheddar cheese, corn relish and barbecue sauce
