3.1 Preheating

  • Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the indicator light turns green.

3.2 Cooking Sausages

  • Once preheated, carefully open the grill.
  • Place up to 5 Johnsonville sausages into the designated slots on the lower cooking plate.
  • Close the lid. The grill's enclosed design and temperature probe will ensure even cooking.
