Before using your Grill/Press for the first time, the non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned. Turn the power ON and pre-heat until the Ready Light illuminates.

Wipe a small amount of butter, margarine or oil onto the plates, rub lightly and wipe away any excess.

Note: When using your Café Contact Grill and Sandwich Press for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.
