Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the grill and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the grilling plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the appliance in water.
- Placement: Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance. Keep it away from walls, curtains, and other heat-sensitive materials.
- Power Connection: Ensure the voltage indicated on the appliance matches your local power supply (220-240V, 50/60Hz). Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Close the grill lid and plug the appliance into a power outlet. The Power Indicator LED will illuminate. Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting. The Thermostat Indicator LED will light up, indicating that the grill is heating.
- Ready for Use: Once the grill reaches the set temperature, the Thermostat Indicator LED will turn off. This indicates the grill is ready for cooking. The light will cycle on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature.
- Grilling: Carefully open the lid using the steel handle. Place your food onto the lower grilling plate. Close the lid and engage the lid lock if necessary for even pressing.
- Cooking Time: Cooking times will vary depending on the type and thickness of the food. Monitor your food to achieve desired results.
- Finishing: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the food using heat-resistant utensils. Unplug the grill from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION: Always unplug the grill and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the grill with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the stainless steel finish.
- Grilling Plates: For best results, clean the non-stick plates immediately after use, once they have cooled down. Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, dampen a paper towel with a small amount of cooking oil and wipe the plates, then clean with soapy water. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive materials that could scratch the non-stick coating.
- Drip Tray (if applicable): If your model includes a drip tray, remove and empty it after each use. Wash it with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
- Storage: Once clean and dry, store the grill in a cool, dry place. The lid lock mechanism allows for compact vertical storage.
