before handling. Do not drop or spill water into the cooking surface
as it can spray or splatter.
Before initial use, turn the thermostat control to the maximum setting, close
the lid and allow unit to burn in for 30 minutes. You may notice smoke
appearing due to the cooking surface burning in. This is normal. After 30
minute burn in period the unit is ready for use.
To adjust the self leveling grill plates:
1. Center the food product on the bottom grill plate (C) and lower the top
grill plate (B). See Figure 1.
2. Adjust the height adjustment (D) until the desired level is reached. Turn
the lock nut (E) to set the position of the height adjustment (D).
To begin heating or cooking:

2. Use handle (A) to lower top grill plate (B) to desired height. Heat or cook
for desired length of time.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the
inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause
an electrical shock.
Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the
electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical
shock. Do not use unit if power cord is damaged or has been
modified
3. At the end of each cooking cycle wipe down the cooking plates. Never
allow excess fat, oil, or grease to build up as this will result in a build-up
of carbon on the plates.
4. Ensure the drip cup provided is in place on the back of the unit during
operation. Empty the grease cup periodically to ensure it does not
overflow.
