How to Use

Before using the appliance for the first time, peel off any promotional materials and packaging materials, and check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth. For best results, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the non-stick plates. Spread over with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.

Preparing Your Grill Toaster

• Close the Grill Toaster and plug it into the wall outlet; you will notice that the ready light will come on, indicating that the Grill Toaster has begun preheating.
• It will take approximately 3 minutes to reach baking temperature; the ready light will go off.
• Open the Grill Toaster, put the sandwich, meat, or other foods on the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the Grill Toaster. The ready light will go on again.
• Cook for about 3 to 8 minutes, the ready light goes off again, or until golden brown, adjusting the time to suit your own individual taste.
• When the food is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Once you are finished cooking, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and leave the unit open to cool.

Cooking

To Use as a Contact Grill

• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting at the max. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the burgers, boneless pieces of meat, and thin cuts of meat or other foods as directed and place it onto the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve Grill marks on the selected foods.
• When the food is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Grill Toaster as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat, and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.
• Use the Grill-Toaster as a contact grill when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the contact grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the oil nozzle set at the back of the baking pan allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates.

To Use as a Press Grill

• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting at the “MAX”. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the sandwiches as directed and place it onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.
• Cook for about 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting the time to suit your own individual taste.
• When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Grill Toaster as a Press grill to grill sandwiches, breads, and quesadillas.
• The Grill Toaster was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with even results.
• When cooking more than one food item in the contact grill, it is important that the thickness of food items is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.

To Use as Open Grill

• Place Grill Toaster on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The Grill Toaster can be positioned in flat position.
• Upper plate/cover is level with lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface. To position the Grill Toaster in this way, locate the hinge release lever on the right arm.
• With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter. The unit will stay in this position until you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.
• Use the Grill Toaster as an open grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish, and vegetables.
• Cooking on the open grill is the most versatile method of using the Grill Toaster. In the open position, you have double the surface area for grill.
• You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking.

Cleaning and Care

• Always unplug the Grill Toaster and allow it to cool before cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when slightly warm. There is no need to disassemble Grill Toaster for cleaning. Never immerse the Grill Toaster in water or place in dishwasher.
• Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue. For baked-on food residue, squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue, then clean with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or place wet kitchen paper over the grill to moisten the food residue.
• Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
• Do not use metal utensils to remove your foods, they can damage the non-stick surface.
• Wipe the outside of the grill toaster with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place in the dishwasher.
• Remove and empty the drip tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.
