USING THE OPEN OR FLAT POSITION
The open/flat position is ideal for grilling vegetables and more delicate items like seafood.
Important: When cooking in the open/flat position, be sure your food is placed evenly on both plates. When cooking a small amount of food on one plate only, use the lower plate.
Warning: Always be sure that your Drip Tray is in place before using the Grill & Panini Press. Never use the appliance without your Drip Tray in position.

Open the upper housing by the handle to an up- right position and then press the hinge release but- ton on the side of the hinge to move the upper plate to a flat position (see Fig.1). This appliance requires 1400 watts and should be the only appli- ance operating on the circuit. Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC outlet only.
2.Preheat the grill.Yourgrill will not properly pre- heat unless the grill is in the closed position (see fig. 1).The red light (see Fig.2) will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating.
3.The green light will illuminate when the appliance is preheated and ready for use (see Fig.3).
4.Place food to be cooked on the grill plate. Use oven mitts or potholders to prevent the risk of burning your hands or arms (see Fig.4). 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:Be careful not to touch any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates,or any hot liquid in the drip tray. Extreme care must be used when operating this appliance as the surface temperatures get ex- tremely hot.
5.When you have finished using the Grill & Panini Press, disconnect the plug from the wall (see Fig.5) and allow the unit to cool down completely before removing the drip tray or before cleaning.
