3. Insert the drip tray into its designated slot at the front of the grill.
4. Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
5. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The power-on indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is preheating.

Cooking Burgers

1. Ensure the grill is properly set up and preheated (refer to Section 4). The ready indicator light will signal when the grill has reached optimal cooking temperature.
2. Carefully open the grill using the handle.
3. Place up to two burger patties onto the lower cooking plate. Do not overcrowd the grill.
4. Gently close the lid, ensuring the safety lock engages. The grill is designed to press the burgers for even cooking.
5. Cook for approximately 3-7 minutes, depending on desired doneness and burger thickness. Cooking time may vary.
6. Periodically check the burgers for doneness. Use the included spatula to carefully remove the cooked burgers from the grill. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the non-stick coating.
