4. Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Close the grill and plug it into a 240V power outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is heating. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes until the indicator light turns off or changes color (if applicable, refer to specific model indicator behavior).
- Preparing Food: While the grill is preheating, prepare your food. For best results, lightly brush the food with oil or butter, especially if it does not contain much fat.
- Placing Food: Carefully open the grill using the cool-touch handle. Place the food onto the lower grilling plate. Do not overload the grill.
- Grilling: Gently close the top plate over the food. The floating top plate will automatically adjust to the thickness of your food, ensuring even contact and cooking.
- Cooking Time: Grilling times will vary depending on the type of food and desired doneness. Monitor the food periodically.
- Removing Food: Once cooked, open the grill and carefully remove the food using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Finishing: After use, unplug the grill from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
