Cooking in the FLOAT position (see fig. 3) allows both the LOWER and UPPER plate to contact the food. Food cooks much faster than traditional open grill cooking. Grease drains away to the drip tray located below the LOWER plate. This position is most commonly used to cook Panini Sandwiches.

The FLOAT position is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as French, Italian, and focaccia. The top grill plate will compress and grill a Panini to perfection in about 3 minutes (depending on the bread, filling, and personal taste). The FLOAT position can also be used to grill a variety of food items, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Always preheat your Tri-Grill in the closed position as shown in figure 1.

1Ensure that your drip tray is in position under the LOWER plate to allow grease to fall into the drawer. (see fig. 4 for correct position.) Do not allow the drip tray to protrude from the back of the unit (see fig. 5). We recommend adding 3/4 of a cup of water to the drip tray to help minimize smoking.

2Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. Your grill will not properly preheat unless the grill is in the closed position. Close the cover and plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC grounded outlet only. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approxi- mately 10 minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.

 

The FIXED HEIGHT position is best used when you do

 

not want the UPPER plate to come in contact with

 

your food. Use at the end of the cooking process

 

when you want to melt cheese or heat a sauce on top

 

of your cooked item, or when cooking delicate items

 

that you do not want compressed.

 

This is the perfect position when you want to make

open-faced sandwiches, melt cheese or bake.

 

1Ensure that your drip tray is in position under the LOWER plate to allow grease to fall into the drawer. (see fig. 4 for correct position.) Do not allow the drip tray to protrude from the back of the unit (see fig. 5). We recommend adding 3/4 of a cup of water to the drip tray to help minimize smoking.

2Always start in the FLOAT position with the grill closed as shown in fig. 3. Plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC grounded outlet only. Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 10 minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.

3Set the Hinge Selector to FIXED, lift up the top housing by the black handle until it is fully open. Add your ingredients to the LOWER plate and then gently close until the top housing locks into place. See fig. 6.

4There is only one position in FIXED mode. Do not force the top grill plate down while in FIXED HEIGHT mode as you can damage the Hinge Selector. When you wish to return to any other mode from FIXED HEIGHT, simply lift the top plate housing by the handle and set the Hinge Selector to the FLOAT position and close the grill.

Note: The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and will

Note: The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct temperature is maintained.

WARNING! Open the grill using the black handle only, being careful not to touch any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates. We recommend the use of oven mitts or potholders to prevent the risk of injury. Note: Extreme care must be used when operating this appliance as surface temperatures get extremely hot.

3Place items to be cooked on the LOWER grill plate. Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired temperature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close the top plate

In this position your grill will open flat doubling the total cooking area of the Tri-Grill. You can also substitute the LOWER grill plate with the LOWER griddle plate which is located in the storage slot at the back of this appliance (see fig. 8). The Griddle plate is perfect for grilling pancakes, eggs, hash browns or even delicate crepes.
