5. Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Turn on the power switch(es) located on the side of the grill. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is heating. Allow 15-20 minutes for the grill to reach its optimal cooking temperature (approximately 230°C ± 25°C or 446°F ± 45°F).

- Cooking: Place food directly onto the preheated grill plates. Monitor cooking progress and turn food as needed.
- After Use: Once cooking is complete, turn off the power switch(es) and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
