To remove the plates after the unit is off, unplugged and has completely cooled – Press
firmly on the “Removable Plate Release Button” located on the bottom housing and top
housing of the unit (remove one plate at a time). Firmly press one button at a time and
the plate will release from the base. Hold the plate with two hands and slide it out from
under the metal brackets at the center of the unit. Repeat for 2nd set of plates.
To Use as a Contact Grill:
The Contact Grill can be used to cook items such as burgers (including but not limited to
hamburgers, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, etc), boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of
meats and vegetables.
1
With the unit UNPLUGGED, open the unit to the 180 degree/flat position. Insert Grill
plates. Be sure to locate the labeled “Upper” and “Lower” markings on the bottom of the
plates to make sure you place the plate on the correct surface. Then return the unit to
the closed position.

Select your desired temperature on the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB. Once desired
temperature is reached indicator light will illuminate.
4
Place drip cup accessories at the corner of the plate in order to catch the grease.
5
Insert your desired food onto the bottom cooking plate. Ideally make sure your foods
are approximately the same height, as the lid will need to press on the top of the food
in order to cook it evenly.
6
Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press
down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve Grill marks on the
selected foods.
7
When the food is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help
of a plastic or wooden spatula. DO NOT use metal utensils for any reason as these will
scratch the non-stick coating on the plates.
Note:
The ribs on the grill plates, combined with the grease spout at the corner of the plate,
allow the grease to drip from the food and drain off the plates.
To Use as a Panini Grill/Press:

fish and vegetables.

large cooking surface.
