prevent possible burn injuries.

2. Season the grill plates with butter, margarine, etc. according to your preference.

power indicator light comes on (this light will be dimmer during warm-up and will
light at full strength once the grill is ready for cooking).
4. Select the appropriate cooking temperature by using the thermostat knob. It will
