1. Before using the G5 for the first time, wipe all Grilling Plates and Baking Pan
with a damp cloth to remove all dust.
2. Attach the Plates or Baking Pan: The G5 has 5 heating Plates—1 pc Grilling
Plate, 1 pc Steak Plate, 2 pcs Waffle Plates, 1 Baking Pan. Securely attach the
Plates in the top and bottom of the appliance using the Release Handles on
each side of the Plates and Pan. The Baking Pan should only be attached to
the bottom of the appliance. The Baking Pan should only be attached to the
bottom of the appliance. Use the Lock Lever in either the back, locked position
or front, locked position. The back, locked position is for level cooking of foods.
The front, locked position is for sloped cooking. Liquid will drain to the Drip Tray
when in the front, locked position.
NOTE: When attaching the Plates or Baking Pan, carefully and securely attach
each into the appliance using the Release Handles on the Plates or Pan.
3. To Preheat: Close the Lid and plug the cord into a 120V AC outlet. Turn
the Adjustable Temperature Control from “Off” to Low, Medium or High
temperature as desired. The Power light (red) and Indicator light (green) will
turn on. See the Suggested Cooking Chart for specific temperature settings.
When the appliance is preheated, the Indicator light (green) will go off.
Note: When the correct temperature is reached for preheating, the Power light
will be on although the Indicator light will turn off.
4. Use a pot holder to carefully open the Lid.
5. Slide the grease-catching Drip Tray under the front of the unit.
6. Carefully place or pour the food to be cooked on the bottom Plate or Pan.
7. Close the Lid and allow the food to cook for the desired time. Do not leave the
unit unattended during use! Reminder: The heat continues to be “On” until the
appliance is turned to the “Off” position.
8. After the desired amount of cooking time, the food should be done.
9. Turn the Adjustable Temperature Control to the “Off” position. Disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting the plug,
make sure the power is off before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
10. Use a pot holder to carefully open the Lid.
11. Remove the food using the Plastic Spatula provided. Be sure to always use
either plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface of the
Plates and Pan. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage
the coating on the Plates and Pan.
