Assembling Plates
WARNING:
To prevent a serious burn injury, always ensure that your
Tri-Grill is unplugged and has completely cooled prior to removing or
adding plates. Always dry plates thoroughly prior to installing on
the unit.
LOWER Plate
Standing in front of your unit, grasp the lower plate
(identified on the right side of the plate as LOWER)
and line up the two rear locking pins (see figure 9)
on the back of the plate with the receptacles in the
rear of the unit. Gently lay the plate down and apply
downward pressure to snap the LOWER plate into
place. You will hear a click indicating that the plate
has locked into place. To ensure that your plate is
locked, gently try to lift it up.

UPPER Plate
Standing in front of your unit, grasp the UPPER
plate (identified on the right side of the plate as
UPPER) and align the two rear locking pins on the
back of the UPPER plate with the two receptacles
in the top housing (see fig. 10). Gently press the
front of the UPPER plate in until you hear a click
indicating that the plate has locked into place. To
ensure that your plate is locked, gently try to pull
it out.

WARNING!
Ensure that your plates are locked into place before
attempting to cook with this appliance. A serious burn injury can occur
if your top plate is improperly seated as it could fall out of the housing.
If you have followed the above instructions and your plate still does not
lock, or is not properly seated, do not use the appliance. Contact our
customer service center at 800-275-8273.

Grilling in FLAT Position
Note: When cooking on both LOWER and
UPPER plates in FLAT mode, ensure that
your food is spread evenly amongst both
plates. Always place the food with the
longest cooking time on the LOWER plate.
When cooking on one plate, only use
LOWER plate.
1
Ensure that your drip tray is in position
under the LOWER plate to allow grease to
fall into the drawer. (see fig. 4 for correct
position.) Do not allow the drip tray to
protrude from the back of the unit (see
fig. 5). We recommend adding 3/4 of a
cup of water to the drip tray to help
minimize smoking.
2
Always start in the FLOAT position with the grill closed as shown
in fig. 3. Plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC grounded outlet only.
Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. The red light will turn
on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approximately
10 minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance
is preheated and ready for use.
3
Set the Hinge Selector to the FLAT position. Open the top housing
by the black handle until is lays completely flat. To return to any
other mode, set the Hinge Selector to FLOAT and close the top
housing (see fig. 3).
Note:
The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and will
cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct temperature
is maintained.
WARNING!
Open the grill using the black handle only, being 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. Note: Extreme care must be used when operating this
appliance as surface temperatures get extremely hot.

When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect
the plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool completely
before cleaning.
