Use the continuously adjustable thermostat dial located on the front of the appliance to select your desired temperature setting (typically from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest). The indicator light will illuminate when the grill is heating and turn off when the set temperature is reached.

Grill Positions:

1. Contact Grill (Double-Sided):

   Ideal for sandwiches, paninis, and thinner cuts of meat or vegetables. Place food between the two grill plates and close the lid. The food cooks simultaneously from both sides.

2. Barbecue Mode (Fully Open):

   For grilling larger quantities or different types of food simultaneously. Open the grill completely until the top plate lies flat, creating a large grilling surface. This mode is perfect for steaks, skewers, and vegetables.

3. Gratin/Oven Mode:

   Use this position for baking or gratinating dishes. The top plate hovers above the food, providing top-down heat without direct contact. This is suitable for items like pizza or open-faced sandwiches.
