PREPARING THE GRILL FOR USE
1. Remove and safely discard any packing
material and promotional labels from
the grill
2. Wipe the cooking plates and drip
tray with a soft damp sponge. Dry
thoroughly.
3. Ensure the drip tray is correctly inserted
into the grill.
4. Ensure the cooking plates are correctly
inserted and securely locked into
position.
NOTE
The grill features 2 x PLATE
RELEASE. These allow you to
independently remove the top and
bottom cooking plates for easy
cleaning, or to interchange plate
positions.
To use the PLATE RELEASE:
Always ensure the grill is completely
cool. Use the handle to open the top
plate to a 90 degree position.
Use the ‘Plate Release’ on the front,
right side of the top plate to remove
the top cooking plate, and the ‘Plate
Release’ on the left side of the control
panel to remove the bottom cooking
plate. Once released, gently slide the
plates off the grill.
NOTE
If the cooking plates are incorrectly
inserted, the LCD screen will display
INSERT PLATE. Use the 2 x PLATE
RELEASE to remove the plates then
re-insert so they securely lock into
position. Always ensure the grill is
completely cool before releasing and
removing the cooking plates.
5. Place the grill on a flat, dry surface.
Ensure there is a minimum distance
of 10cm of space on both sides of the
appliance.
6. Unwind the power cord completely and
insert the power plug into a grounded
wall outlet.
7. The grill alert will sound and the LCD
screen will display OFF and the default
‘0’ zero time.
8. The grill is now ready for the preheating
cycle.
NOTE
When the grill is turned on and
heating for the first time, it may
emit a fine smoke haze. This is due
to the protective substances on the
heating elements. It is safe and not
detrimental to the performance of
the grill.
