Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. Using a meat thermometer, test for doneness by inserting
the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the
thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.

The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of food.
Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center of
the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food needs
longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

USING ThE LOCKING hINGE POISITION
This feature keeps upper grill plate above food on lower grill plate.
. This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness
of food being grilled. This allows for even melting of cheese on top of hot cooked
hamburgers.
2. If the grill is not hot, preheat grill following directions under PREHEATING THE GRILL.
3. Lift handle of the grill cover up and forward into the locking position of float & lock
hinge.
4. Lower the grill cover into the locked position above the
food

.
5. Allow food to cook for desired time.
6. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than
one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the
thickness of each be about the same.
GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently
while cooking.
• Do not overfill grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary, adjust timer using control button.
• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
