GENERAL USE
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To get Started, place the GreenPanTM Contact
Grill / Panini Press / Teppanyaki on a clean,
flat surface. The appliance has three different
positions:
CLOSED POSITION
Top plate / cover rests flat on lower plate /
base. This is the standard Starting and heating
position for the contact Teppanyaki / Griddle or
panini press functions.
OPEN POSITION
Top plate / cover is open. Open the cover to
this position before using the appliance as a
contact Teppanyaki / Griddle or a panini press.
To adjust the appliance into the open position,
lift the handle until you feel it move to a steady
position.
The Teppanyaki / Griddle will remain in the
steady position until you close the cover or
move it to the flat open Teppanyaki / Griddle
position. The top plate / cover will stay in an
upright position until you lower the handle
for cooking. When you lower the handle for
cooking the hinge will self-release to allow the
top plate / cover to lie flat on your food and
ensure total contact and cook your food evenly.

9
FLAT POSITION
Top plate / cover is opened so that the top
and lower plates are level and create a single
cooking surface.
When opening the cover to the flat position,
hold onto the handle, press the cover release
button on the right of the unit and pull
the handle back until the grill touches the
countertop. Remember to put the drip tray into
position to support the upper grill at the centre.
INSTALLING COOKING PLATES
The appliance should be off and cooled. Put the
appliance in the flat position. Insert each plate
individually. Find the metal holding brackets at
the centre of the housing. Tilt the back end of
the plate and line up the cut-outs with the metal
brackets. Slide the plate beneath the brackets
and push down on the front end of the plate.
You should hear it snap into place. Turn the
appliance 180° and install the second plate into
the upper housing the same way.
REMOVING COOKING PLATES
The appliance should be off and cooled. Put
your appliance in the flat position. Find the
plate release buttons on one side. Press one
button firmly and the cooking plate will pop up
from the base. Grab the cooking plate with both
hands, slide it from under the metal brackets
and lift from the base. Press on the other button
to release the other cooking plate the same
way.
OPERATION
Prior to using this appliance for the first time,
wash the grill / teppanyaki plate, base, lid and
drip tray in accordance with the instructions
given under the “Before First Use” section. Dry
thoroughly and then lightly brush the surface of
the grill plate with cooking oil. Place the drip
tray into the base, then place the grill plate onto
the drip tray. Never use the grill plate directly
on the work surface, always use with the drip
tray and base.
This appliance should only be used on a heat
resistant and easy to wipe clean surface.
Once your appliance is properly assembled,
plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet

USER MAINTENANCE
• While your plates are metal utensil safe,
we recommend using plastic, silicone, or
wooden utensils to prolong the life of your
ceramic non-stick plates.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with
the hot plates.
• Between meals, wipe off food build-up
through grease channels and into the drip
tray. Remove any residue with a paper towel
before Starting your next meal.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely (at
least 30 minutes) before cleaning.

2. Press the plate release buttons to remove
the plates for cleaning (See Assembly

forks and do not use a scouring pad for
cleaning. Doing so can damage the plates’
ceramic non-stick coating.
3. If you’ve cooked seafood with the Grill or
Teppanyaki wipe the cooking plate with
lemon juice to avoid transferring seafood
flavour to your next meal. The base, cover

in the top rack of the dishwasher.
8. Don’t use scouring pads, wire wool, or soap
pads.
9. At the places where the top and bottom
plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces
may show signs of wear. This is purely
cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of
the grill.
