To Use as a Press Grill (Closed Position)
NOTE:
When cooking more than one piece of food, prepare so that
the thickness of food items is consistent. This will allow food to cook
quickly, evenly and produces rich grill marks both top and bottom.
1. Follow steps 1 through 5 of the Operating Instructions section entitled:
“To Use as a Contact Grill (Open Position)” described previously.
2. To ensure perfectly grilled food, look to make sure that the top grill plate
lies evenly on the top of the food. Make sure food is centered on the grill
plate.
3. Using a potholder or oven mitt, pull down the arm and gently lower
the top grill plate. The floating hinge will automatically adjust to the
thickness of the food. Press the handle down firmly, then turn the grill
plate lock clockwise to secure. (fig. 4)
4. Adjust temperature control dial as needed. During grilling, the blue
READY indicator light will cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates
that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature.
NOTE:
The raised ridges and tilted bottom plate allow grease, fat and
other drippings to run off away from your food and into the drip tray.
5. Turn the grill plate lock counter-clockwise to unlock. Using an oven
mitt or potholder, grasp the handle and carefully lift the top grill plate.
Always use a plastic or wooden spatula to remove cooked food. Test
food for doneness. Grill until the food is cooked to your liking.
WARNINg: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-
stick surface of the grill plates.
CAUTION: Do not leave appliance unattended during use!
