Setup

1. Unpacking

1. Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and any plastic bands from the grill.
2. Wipe the exterior of the grill with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
3. Wash the removable grill plates and drip tray in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

2. Plate Installation

• Ensure the grill is unplugged and cool.
• Align the tabs on the back of each grill plate with the slots on the grill base.
• Press down firmly on the front of the plate until it clicks securely into place. Repeat for both upper and lower plates.

3. Drip Tray Placement

• Slide the drip tray into the designated slot beneath the front of the grill. Ensure it is fully inserted to catch any drippings.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheating

1. Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure the drip tray is in place.
3. Close the grill lid and plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is preheating.
4. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 5 minutes, or until the indicator light turns off, indicating it has reached the optimal cooking temperature.

2. Grilling

1. Carefully open the grill lid using the handle.
2. Place food directly onto the bottom grill plate. Do not overload the grill.
3. Close the lid. The floating hinge allows the top plate to adjust to the thickness of your food.
4. Cook for the recommended time, or until food is cooked to your preference. Cooking times will vary based on food type and thickness.
5. Use the included heat-safe spatula to remove food from the grill. Avoid using metal utensils, which can damage the nonstick coating.

3. Cooking Tips

• For best results, always preheat the grill fully.
• Lightly brush food with oil or marinade before grilling to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
• Avoid piercing food with forks or knives while cooking, as this can cause juices to escape and dry out the food.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. After Use

1. Unplug the grill from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the grill to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

2. Cleaning Plates

• Once cool, press the plate release buttons to remove the grill plates.
• The removable grill plates are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
• Alternatively, wash plates by hand in warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching.
• Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on the nonstick surface.

3. Cleaning Exterior

• Wipe the exterior surfaces of the grill with a damp cloth.
• Empty and wash the drip tray in warm, soapy water.
• Never immerse the main unit of the grill in water or any other liquid.
