4. OPERATION
1.
Open the unit by pulling the Handle up.
2.
You may season the plates with butter,
margarine or cooking fat. Since the
appliance has a non-stick coated
surface, the use of butter or oil is
optional.
3.
Close the Plates and turn the unit on
by plugging it into a standard electrical
outlet. Verify that the Power Indicator
Light illuminates in red.
4.
Turn the control knob
(4)
to desired
position. After the unit preheats for
approximately 6-8 minutes, the Ready
Indicator Light will illuminate in green,
indicating the product is ready for use.
5.
Use the Handle to lift the Upper Plate.
Place food on the Lower Plate using
wooden or plastic heat-resistant
utensils. Do not use the cleaning spatula
(6)
to place food on the plates.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal utensils
on this product, as they will scratch and
damage the Plates’ non-stick coating.
NOTE:
It is possible to open the heat
plates until 180 degrees by pushing the
lock button

on the indicated direction
(Fig. 2)
.

Upper Plate on top of the food.
NOTES:
• The cooking time for different foods
depends on the type and thickness
of the foods.
• Foods should be cooked thoroughly
before consumption.
7.
When the food is cooked as desired,
lift the Handle to open the Plates, then
remove the food using the utensils. If

5. PRACTICAL ADVICE
•
Do not use metal objects or sharp
utensils when handling food, since this
may damage the non-stick coating.
• Try to ensure that the food is cut up in
a uniform manner, in order to enable
proper cooking.
• If the food releases a lot of fat, place the
drip tray
(5)
underneath the catch-tray to
avoid dirtying the table or worktop.
• As a general rule, we recommend that
you season fish before cooking, and
season meat afterwards.
• Clean the meat or fish with a damp cloth
and then dry well, otherwise the water
will have a negative effect on the heat
transfer process.
• We recommend that you grease the
plaques with a little margarine or salad
oil.
