10.Place food on the bottom cooking plate.

NOTE:

Do not use spray-on, non-stick coatings as these will affect the performance of the non-stick cooking plates.

NOTE:

For best cooking results when toasting paninis:

-Always place paninis on the center of the bottom plate.

-Toasting should take approximately 5-8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of preference and the type of bread and fillings used. For more tips and tricks, refer to Grilling Tips (page 20), Grilling Guide (page 23) and Recipes (page 28).

NOTE:

The LCD screen may display 'HEATING' during the cooking process. This is normal, indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

11.Use the handle to close the top cooking

plate. The top cooking plate has two features designed to produce optimum cooking results:

a)Floating Top Plate. The top cooking plate is hinged, allowing the top plate to be positioned horizontally on the food surface. This ensures the front of the food is as evenly cooked as the back. It also allows the top plate to float above the food surface, radiating heat to create open sandwich style ‘melts’.

NOTE:

The surfaces of the grill are hot during and after operation. Always use the integrated Leveling Support/‘Plate Release’ on the front, right side of the top cooking plate when adjusting the position of the top plate. Alternatively, use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts.

!The Leveling SUPPORT may get hot during and after operation. Always use the Leveling SUPPORT as pictured.

!Never grip the Leveling SUPPORT or use it to open the top cooking plate.

ALWAYS USE THE GRILL HANDLE to open and close the top cooking plate.

b)Adjustable Height Control. This feature reduces the weight of the top plate on delicate foods like fish and accommodates varying thicknesses of food like artisan breads. Located on the right side of the top plate, the clip fixes the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate. To set the Adjustable Height

Control, use the handle to lift the top plate and simultaneously move the Adjustable Height Control clip to the desired height. Then slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the Adjustable Height Control clip.

12.The Smart Grill features an optional count-down timer which monitors the time elapsed during cooking. To activate the count-down timer:

a)Ensure the grill has completely preheated, the LCD screen no longer displays 'HEATING' and food has been placed on the bottom cooking plate.

b)Turn the Timer Dial to adjust the time in one minute increments up to 30 minutes. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase the time, or counter- clockwise to reduce the time. The LCD screen will display the selected time.

c)Press the button within the Timer Dial once, to activate the setting. The LCD screen will display a count-down indicator and the time will begin to count down.

NOTE:

The count-down timer can be stopped or paused at any time by pressing the button within the Timer Dial a second time. The LCD screen will no longer display the count-down indicator. However, the grill will not turn off, it will remain heating.

To reset or clear the timer either:

-Rotate the Timer Dial clockwise to increase the time, or counter- clockwise to reduce the time. Or,

-Press the button within the Timer Dial and hold for 3 seconds until the time on the LCD screen displays ‘0’ zero. Rotate the Timer Dial clockwise to increase the time, or counter-clockwise to reduce the time.

13.Once the selected time has elapsed, the grill alert will sound. The LCD screen will display a blinking '00' then the default '0' zero time. However, the grill will not turn off. It will remain heating, maintaining the selected temperature, ready for the next cooking cycle.

NOTE:

The cooking and heating cycle can be stopped at any time by turning the Temperature Dial to the ‘OFF’ position. The LCD screen will display ‘OFF’, the default ‘0’ zero time and cease to illuminate after 3 minutes. Allow the grill to cool completely and disconnect from the wall outlet.
