Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting (Min to Max). The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is heating. Allow 5-10 minutes for the grill plate to reach the optimal cooking temperature.

- Temperature Adjustment: Adjust the temperature knob as needed during cooking to maintain desired heat levels.
- After Use: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
