USE THE APPLIANCE.

1. After properly assembling and preparing the appliance, use the knob to select the function:

- turn anticlockwise to grill with timer

- turn clockwise to grill with no timer

When you select the function with the knob, the orange indicator lights up to indicate that the power is on. After you have selected the function or time, select the temperature.

1. If the appliance is to be used as a flat grill or roaster, but you do not need the entire surface, use the bottom heating plate only.

2. Depending on the set temperature, the appliance heats up to the operating temperature for about 5 minutes. Once the thermostat reaches the operating temperature, a green indicator lights up to show that the appliance is ready. When the appliance is in use, the indicator turns on and off as the temperature is maintained. You can grease the plates with butter, margarine or frying oil. Because the plates have non-stick surfaces, there's no need to use butter or oil.

3. Once the appliance reaches the desired temperature, open the lid heating plate and use wooden kitchen utensils to place the items on the grill plate.

4. Use the temperature knobs to set and maintain the temperature of the grilling surface. You can adjust the temperature using the knob at any time during appliance use, depending on the type of food being prepared.

5. Always exercise caution when using the appliance. To open the appliance, grasp the black part of the handle. This part of the handle stays cool and does not heat up during grilling.

6. The appliance becomes hot during use. The lid is made of stainless steel and heats up to a high temperature. Do not touch it during or immediately after grilling. If you need to adjust the lid, wear oven gloves to avoid burns.

7. When the set time has elapsed or when you determine that the food is done and wish to stop grilling, switch off the appliance (turn the knob to the OFF position) and disconnect it from the wall socket. If you would like to continue grilling, go back to step 1.

8. After use, leave the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
