To Use as a Contact Grill

Figure 1

Use the Panini/Grill as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.

•Set the Panini/Grill Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting near 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 food is cooked use the handle to open the lid.

Remove the food with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula.

NOTE: 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. Simply grasp the foot extenders located on the 2 back legs of the unit and pivot

them out toward the back of unit. This will provide the

contact grid with a slope that

will help channel the extra fat near the front edge of the cooking plate, and towards the fat collecting tray. (See Figure 1)

To Use as a Panini Press

Use the Panini/Grill as a Panini Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.

•Set the Panini/Grill Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a medium setting (temperature setting midway between MIN and MAX). 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 utensil.

•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 an Open grill or a griddle

Use the Panini/Grill 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.

NOTE: First make sure the foot extenders are not in the extended position.

•Put the grill on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook in the flat position.

•With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the grill/griddle release switch toward you, towards the handle (See Figure 2). Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter. The unit will stay in this position until
