Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry. The drip tray should also be washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the grill on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other heat-sensitive objects. Ensure there is adequate space for ventilation.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The 'Power' indicator light will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

Preheating the Grill

1. Close the grill plates.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to your desired heat setting (1-5).
3. Allow the grill to preheat. The 'Ready' indicator light will turn on when the desired temperature is reached. This typically takes 5-10 minutes depending on the selected temperature.

Grilling Food

1. Once preheated, carefully open the grill.
2. Place your food (e.g., sandwiches, meat, vegetables) onto the bottom grill plate. Avoid overcrowding.
3. Close the top grill plate. The floating hinge system allows for even pressure on various food thicknesses.
4. Set the timer knob to the desired cooking duration (up to 30 minutes). The grill will automatically turn off when the timer expires. If no timer is set, monitor cooking manually.
5. Monitor the cooking process. Adjust the temperature or cooking time as needed.
6. When cooking is complete, carefully open the grill and remove the food using heat-resistant utensils. Do not use metal utensils that could scratch the non-stick coating.
7. Unplug the appliance after use.

3. Drip Tray: Remove and empty the drip tray. Wash it with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
4. Grill Plates: Wipe the non-stick grill plates with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, use a plastic scraper or a small amount of warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
