Black & Decker G49TD manual Grilling, Quick Waffles, Steak ‘N Veggie Sandwich

GRILLING

This versatile unit is designed for open grilling to prepare griddle-style foods such as pancakes, eggs, or bacon strips, or closed grilling for hamburgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches such as grilled cheese. See the charts for preparation.

1.Be sure the cooking grids are securely attached with the flat grill sides showing. Close the unit and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2.Depending on the kind of food you’re grilling (such as bacon or chops), you may want to place a small can or container under the grease spouts at the corners to catch grease or drippings from the built-in grease channel.

3.For Closed Grilling: turn the control knob to high and preheat the unit closed for 8-10 minutes until the signal light goes out. Use the charts to help you determine the best setting, depending on the food. Open the unit, place the food on the lower Grid, and close the grill.

4.For Open Grilling: close the grill and turn the control knob to high to preheat for 8-10 minutes until the signal light goes out. Use the charts to help you determine food amounts and times. Open the grill and pull straight up on the top handle to release the top grid. Turn and slowly lower the top grid down so that it forms a flat griddle-like cooking surface across from the bottom grid (B). If cooking on only one side, place the food on the bottom grid. Watch and turn food as needed. To keep food warm while serving, turn the control knob to LOW.

GRILLING

Use the grill in the closed position to press hamburgers or other meats (i.e. chops, Canadian bacon) or as a sandwichmaker. Preparing meats in the closed position will help cut down on spatter and speed up cooking times. Note: that All the foods listed for closed grilling can also be prepared in the open (griddle) position but will take

5 to 10 minutes longer than closed and will require watching and turning for doneness.
