How to Use:

Before first use, remove all packaging. Check plates are clean. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary. For best results, apply a teaspoon of vegetable oil to non-stick plates and wipe off excess with a kitchen towel.

Preparing Your Grill Toaster:

Plug into wall outlet. Lights on thermostat and timer knobs are off. Set timer; lights turn on (Red for thermostat, Green for timer). Adjust temperature to desired setting, starting with MAX. Thermostat knob light changes from "red+green" (heating) to "red" (ready). Preheating takes 3-5 minutes. Lights turn off when time is complete.

Cooking:

To Use as a Contact Grill:

• Set temperature.
• Prepare food (burgers, meat, vegetables) and place on bottom plate.
• Close top plate; it has a floating hinge for even pressure. Ensure it's fully lowered for grill marks.
• Use handle to open lid. Remove food with a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or knives.
• Ideal for quick, healthy cooking, grilling both sides simultaneously. Ribbed plates and grease spout help drain fat.

To Use as Press Grill:

• Set temperature.
• Prepare sandwiches and place on bottom plate, towards the rear.
• Close top plate; ensure it's fully lowered.
• Cook for 3-6 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove food with a plastic spatula.
• Use for sandwiches, breads, quesadillas.
• Handle and hinge adjust to food thickness. Ensure consistent thickness for even cooking.

To Use as Open Grill:

• Place on a clean, flat surface.
• Position in flat mode: Upper plate/cover is level with lower plate/base, creating one large cooking surface.
• To open: Press hinge release lever on the right arm. Hold handle with left hand, slide lever with right hand towards you. Push handle back/up until cover rests flat.
• Suitable for burgers, steaks, poultry, fish, vegetables. (Not recommended for bone-in chicken due to uneven cooking).
• Open grill offers double the cooking surface area and is the most versatile method. Allows cooking different foods or large quantities separately.
• The appliance has a floating hinge for even pressure and a handle to adjust the lid based on food thickness.
