SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS
Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
• The electrical rating of the longer cord should be at least that
of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord
is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. The extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.

PART DESCRIPTION
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off
any promotional materials and packaging materials, and check
that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust
• Clean the grill and the accessories (Cf. "Cleaning and care"). It is
recommended to heat up the grill for about 10 minutes without
any foodstuff in order to eliminate the grease that may have
adhered during manufacture and the "new" smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your Grill Toaster is
heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odour. This is
normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the
safety of your appliance.
OPERATION
• With the thermostat set to “Min”, plug the appliance in. The red
light will light up.
• Apply a little oil on the cooking plate. Turn the knob to desired
temperature level. Preheat the grill to reach the ideal cooking

temperature. When the appliance reaches the desired
temperature, the green pilot light will light up.
• Position the fat collecting tray near the spout on the side of the
appliance.
To Use as a Contact Grill
Use the Grill as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of
meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.
• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At first, try a setting in the “max” setting. You may later adjust it
lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of
meat or other foods as directed and place it onto the bottom
cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is
designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must
be fully lowered to achieve Grill marks on the selected foods.
• When the foods is cooked use the handle to open the lid.
Remove the food with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or
wooden spatula. ever use metal tongs or a knife as these can
cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• OTE : The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout
at the corner of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat
and drain off the plates.
Cooking with less fat
• If you want to cook with less fat, you can get rid of the excess
cooking fat by using the slanted feet at the back of the
appliance. This will provide the contact grid with a slope that will
help evacuate the extra fat near the front edge of the cooking
plate, and towards the fat collecting tray.

To Use as Press grill
Use the Grill as a Press grill to grill sandwiches, breads and
quesadillas.
• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At first, try a medium setting (temperature setting 5 or 6). You
may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
• Prepare the sandwiches and place them onto the bottom
cooking plate. Always place the sandwiches towards the rear of
the bottom cooking plate first.
• Close the top cooking plate, which has a floating hinge that is
designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate
must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.
• Cook for about 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting
the time to suit your own individual taste.
• When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the lid.
Remove the sandwich with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or
wooden spatula. ever use metal tongs or a knife as these can
cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• To ensure proper and uniform grilling, when cooking more than
one food item in the grill, it is important for the thickness of all
food items to be consistent, so that the cover will close evenly on
the food.
To Use as Open grill or a griddle
Use the Grill Toaster as an open grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry
(we do not recommend cooking chicken parts with bones, since
they would not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
• Put the grill on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook in
flat position.
• With you left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the
lever toward you (towards the handle). Push the handle back
until the cover rests flat on the counter. The
unit will stay in this position until you lift the
handle and cover to return it to the closed
position.

• The upper plate/cover is now level with lower plate/base. The
upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking
surface.
• Cooking on the open grill is the most versatile method of using
the Grill Toaster. In the open position, you have double the
surface area for grilling
• You have the option of cooking different types of foods on
separates without combining their flavors, or cooking large
amounts of the same type of food. The open position also
accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses,
allowing you to cook each piece to you liking.
• You can use 2 fat collecting trays in this configuration, one per
plate.
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, fish or lean meat, spray the grilling surface
with a cooking spray. 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.

CLEANING AND CARE
• Put in “MI ” position, pull the plug from the power socket and let
the appliance cool down before cleaning it.
• Clean the grill plates with a damp cloth, sponge or paper towel.

non-stick coating

mild washing-up product. Rinse with hot water on a sponge or
towel and dry the plates carefully. The cleaning succeeds best
when the grill plates are still slightly warm.

mild washing-up product.
