Setup Cooking Options
To Insert Cooking Plates: Adjust to the at position by
lifting the hinge release lever. Slide the plate underneath
the metal brackets of the housing and push down the front
end of the plate. If you require only one plate for cooking, we
recommend using the bottom plate.
Plug the unit into an outlet.
Turn the corresponding temperature dial to desired tem-
perature. For best results, preheat in the closed position.
Once the unit reaches desired temperature, the green
indicator light will illuminate and you’re ready to cook! Do not touch
the cover or plates during operation, as they get very hot.
NOTE: Each temperature dial
controls both top and bottom
plates simultaneously. Top and
bottom plates will cook at the
same set temperature.
