USING YOUR GRILL
Place your grill on a flat, level, stable surface. Your grill can be used in two different
configurations. The LOWER and UPPER plate allows you to select between CONTACT (see
Figure 1) and FLAT position (see Figure 2).The GRILL LOCKS (see figure 3).
Your grill is equipped with adjustable feet in the front to assist grease runoff to the rear of the
grill into the drip tray. When cooking foods containing a lot of fats or oils, we recommend raising
the front feet. To rise the feet simply swing out the feet to the raised position (see Figures 4a 4b
and 4c).
GRILLING-INCONTACTPOSITION
Cooking in the CONTACT position (see Figure 1) allows both the LOWER and UPPER plate to
contact the food. Food cooks much faster than traditional open grilling cooking. Grease drains
away to the rear of the grill into a drip removable DRIP DRAWER. The position is most
commonly used to grill sandwiches, steaks, burgers, chicken, and fish.
The CONTACT position is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as French, Italian, and
focaccia. The top grill plate will compress and grill a panini to perfection in about 3 minutes
(depending on the bread, filling, and personal taste). The CONTACT position can also be used
to grill a variety of food items, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Always preheat your
grill in the closed position as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING:
Open the grill using the handle only. Be careful not to touch any hot surfaces such
as the housing or grill plates. We recommend the use of oven mitts or potholders to prevent the
risk of injury. Extreme care must be used when operating this appliance as surface
temperatures get extremely hot.
