grilled vegetables! All this with easy cooking, sample
recipes and simple cleanup, so you’ll really love the
ease and convenience of this all-in-one
grill and griddle. Enjoy!

BEFORE FIRST USE:
1. Clean the grill and all the accessories ("Cleaning and Care").
It is recommended to heat up the grill for about 10 minutes, without
any food, prior to using the rst time.
2. Ventilate the room during this period.
ASSEMBLY:
1. Place the base of the appliance on a stable and heat resistant
surface.
2. Place the grease collector in the base.
3. Position the cooking pan on the housing base. The pan’s legs must
rest inside the recessed areas on the housing base.
4. Make sure the temperature controller is in the OFF position. Plug
the temperature controller into the socket on the side of the grill
plate by inserting its plug into the connection inlet on the appliance
as deeply as possible.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS:
The temperature guide below is an approximate indicator:
WARM: 175° F +/- 10%
LOW: 285° F +/- 10%
MID: 340° F +/- 10%
HIGH: 480° F +/- 10%
OPERATION:

HOW TO USE...cont. CARE & CLEANING
4. Use a wooden spatula to stir the food. Do not use sharp or metallic
utensils to place or to remove or stir food, as these could damage
the non-stick surface of the cooking pan.
5. If you want to retain the cooking juices or fat during cooking, or for
steaming, you can leave the oil drain silicone plug (4) inserted in the
oil drain.
Otherwise, for a healthy, fatless grilling, remove the plug and let the
juices ow into the grease collector during the cooking.
Note: Make sure to empty the grease collector after each use to avoid
any overow or spills.
6. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during
operation, and the power indicator light will go on and off, as with any
thermostatically controlled appliance.
7. The grilling times vary according to the nature of the food and your
personal taste.
8. When grilling is nished, turn the temperature controller to OFF.
Unplug from wall outlet and wait until the appliance has completely
cooled down before removing the temperature control probe
from the cooking plate.
9. Do not remove the cooking plate from the frame during use. Use the
frame to carry or move the grill after letting it cool for 30 minutes.
PRACTICAL HINTS:
• Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.
• To grill meat, put the thermostat in its maximum position and preheat
the grill. For other ingredients, choose the temperature accordingly.
• If you grill vegetables, sh or lean meat, you may spray the grilling
surface with a cooking oil spray, if desired. If you are grilling meat
with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no
need to treat the grill prior to cooking.
• Keep the lid on, during or after cooking to speed up the cooking
process, or to keep the food warm.
• The ceramic non-stick surface is much harder than regular non-stick
surfaces. Nevertheless, the use of wood or heat-proof plastic utensils
is recommended to protect the non-stick cooking surface. Never cut
food with a knife on the cooking pan surface.
1. Before cleaning, put the thermostat in the OFF position and make
sure that the plug has been removed from the outlet.
2. Allow the grill to cool down thoroughly and unplug the temperature
probe from the appliance, before you carefully dispose of any
grease residue.
Caution! The tip of the temperature controller might be hot!
3. This grill/griddle is dishwasher safe, or it may be hand washed.
4. Never immerse the probe or plug in water or any other liquid.
However, should there be water on the electric connection, wait
until the appliance is completely dry before using it again.
5. The grease collector, the tempered glass lid and the cooking pan
are dishwasher safe. Otherwise, wash in warm soapy water and
rinse well. These parts can be immersed in water.
6. Wipe the outer surfaces of the grill with a damp cloth and dry
afterwards.
7. Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners, as these might damage the
ceramic, non-stick coating or the nish of your grill/griddle.
8. You will nd that the ceramic nish is extremely easy to clean with
a warm, soapy cloth or sponge.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the device is not working, please check:
1. Is the outlet plug properly connected with the socket?
2. Is the thermostat rmly inserted into the socket of the appliance?
3. Is the outlet defective? Try another outlet.
4. Check the fuse for your outlet connection.
5. Has the temperature control been set to the OFF position?
