4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On and Preheating
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (127V AC). The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating the grill is powered on.
- Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting. For most grilling, a medium to high setting is appropriate.
- Allow the grill to preheat with the lid closed. The green indicator light will illuminate when the grill has reached the set temperature and is ready for cooking. This typically takes 3-5 minutes.

4.2 Grilling Food
- Once the green indicator light is on, carefully open the grill using the handle.
- Place your food onto the lower cooking plate.
- Close the lid. The adjustable upper plate will adapt to the thickness of your food. For thicker items, the grill can be opened 180 degrees to use both plates as a flat grill surface.
- Cook for the recommended time or until desired doneness is achieved. Cooking times will vary based on food type and thickness.
- Use heat-resistant, non-metallic utensils to remove food to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

- Ensure the grill is on a stable, level surface.
- Carefully open the lid beyond the 90° position until it lies flat, creating two separate grilling surfaces.
- Use both surfaces to cook food as desired.
