Preheating the Grill

1. Close the grill plates.

Grilling Food

Contact Grilling (Closed Position):

• Once preheated, carefully open the grill.
• Place food evenly on the bottom grilling plate. Do not overload.
• Gently close the top plate onto the food. The floating hinge allows for even pressure on different food thicknesses.
• Grill for the recommended time based on the food type and desired doneness.

Open Flat Grilling (BBQ Mode):

• To use as an open grill, fully open the top plate until it lies flat, creating a larger grilling surface. Refer to the product's specific mechanism for opening to 180 degrees.
• Place food on both grilling surfaces.
• Cook, turning food as needed, until desired doneness is achieved.

After Grilling:
