Operating Instructions
3-in-1 Functionality:
Your Safecourt Kitchen CG300 grill offers three modes of operation:
- Contact Grill Mode:
Use with the lid closed for grilling sandwiches, paninis, meat, or vegetables. This mode provides even cooking from both sides. The floating hinge system allows the top plate to adjust to the thickness of your food.

Similar to contact grill mode, specifically optimized for making grilled sandwiches. The large cooking surface can accommodate up to four sandwiches simultaneously.

- Open Grill Mode (180° Flat Grill):
The grill can be fully opened to a 180-degree flat position, providing a large, double cooking surface. This is ideal for grilling larger quantities of food, such as multiple burgers, steaks, or vegetables, simultaneously.
