Depending on the recipe and/or the grilled food product and/or its size or quantity, the press grill can be used in two configurations:

With the hot plates closed: the top and down sides of food products are grilled at the same time; the food products are processed fast and with a well-controlled, nearly uniform doneness on both sides.
With the hot plates open: this configuration is the next best thing to natural grilling on an open flame; the grilling surface is two times bigger than when the hot plates are closed.
The grill is equipped with an opening lock of the top cover which facilitates storage and moving the equipment.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Unpack the press grill and remove all plastic bags, labelling stickers, filling materials and transport locks.
2. Verify that the power ratings on the rating plate of the press grill match your power mains system.
3. Slide the top lid slider latch ④ open to the 'OPEN' mark and lift the top lid ② open. The top lid can be locked closed with the top lid slider latch at the 'LOCK' mark. Check if the heating plates ③ are correctly mounted in the device.

WARNING! Never start the appliance without properly installed heating plates.

1. Clean the hot plates ③ and the fat drip pan ⑩ thoroughly with a wet cloth and wipe them dry.
2. Carry out the pre-heating operation of the grill plates prior to a commencement of operating of the grill. In this regard, position the equipment on a hard, dry, horizontal and even surface, connect it to the power grid, switch on with the use of the switch ⑥ and adjust the thermostat tuning knob ⑨ to the MAX. position. Set the timer (14) for 5 minutes. After switching off, unplug from the power grid and wait until it has cooled down completely. A slight smoke emission may accompany the pre-heating of the plates, but will disappear during a further period of operation.
3. Wipe the hot plates with a damp cloth and wipe them dry.

USING THE PRESS GRILL WITH CLOSED HOT PLATES

CAUTION! Before starting the press grill, make sure it is dry and that the room is well ventilated.

1. Place the press grill on a firm, dry, level and smooth surface.
2. Make sure that the fat container 10 is installed in the device.
3. Use the slider 4 to release the cover lock (slider in position ☐) and open the cover to the vertical position.

CAUTION! Lift the top lid ② by the handle ⑤ only.

1. Spread some cooking fat on the heating plates ③. Close the top lid.

2. Connect the equipment to the power grid and switch on the unit with switch 6. The indicator light 7 will go on when the grill is activated. Use the thermostat tuning knob 9 to set the proper grilling temperature. When the grill reaches the set temperature, the thermostat indicator light 8 will light up in green. Use lower temperatures for quiet grilling of delicate foods and higher temperatures for meat.

3. Place the food to be grilled on both heating plates. The grilling time will depend on the type of food to be grilled. Periodically flip the food to the other side in order to fry it evenly. Depending on the results and your culinary tastes, adjust the grilling temperature. When placing food on the grill, make sure that you do not obstruct the grease flow into the grease container.

4. While grilling, the indicator light of thermostat ⑦ and ⑧ will go off and on several times to indicate that the equipment is maintaining the set temperature. Due to a greater heat exchange with the environment, the equipment will carry out this operation more often than when the cover is closed.

5. Hot steam may burst when opening and closing the top lid to check the doneness. This is a normal effect of processing food with heat. Adjust the grilling temperature with the thermo stat knob according to the desired grilling effect.

6. The fat melted out of the food will flow for the fat drip pan 10. Empty the fat drip pan frequently to prevent overflow and spills.

CAUTION! Risk of burns! The fat flowing out to the fat drip pan is hot!

1. Remove the processed food from the press grill with grilling tongs or utensils made of wood. Do not use metal utensils, they might damage the non-stick coating of the hot plates.

2. When done grilling, you can either put another serving in the press grill, or turn off the press grill: slide the thermostat slider to 0, turn off switch ⑥ and unplug the power cord from the mains.

3. Leave the press grill to cool down and clean it as explained in Section "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".

USING THE GRILL WITH OPEN HOT PLATES

CAUTION! Before starting the press grill, make sure it is dry and that the room is well ventilated.

The heating plates will form a 180° angle (fig. 1).
