Contact Grill
Before first use
Ensure any stickers and packaging are
removed from the product. Wipe over plates
with a dampened cloth and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
Note: When using 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.
Grilling Meats and Vegetables
Note: Always preheat for 3-5 minutes. The
Ready light will illuminate.
1. Always spray the grill plates with cooking
spray before placing meat, seafood or
vegetables onto the grill plate.
2. Gently lower the lid (if desired), by pulling
down the handle. The café-design floating
hinge system will adjust ensuring the top
cooking plate lies evenly on your food for
perfect grilling every time.
3. If desired, halfway through cooking, turn
your food over to achieve grill marks on
both the top and bottom of your food.
4. When cooking some foods you may want to
re-spray the top grill plate to prevent food
from sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
high grade non-stick coating. Some foods
that are marinated or coated may cause
the food to stick to the grill plates.
To clean the plates turn off the unit and
allow it to cool. Then use a plastic spatula
or the cleaning spatula to clear the food.
Never use a sharp metal object as this will
damage the non-stick surface.

Note: The Power and Ready Lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle on
and off during cooking to ensure that the
correct temperature is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside of the unit
when in use. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Steam may generate from between the grill
plates while food is cooking and when the
top plate is opened. Take care when removing
food from the grill.
Toasting Sandwiches and Foccacias
1. Butter the outside of the bread, if desired.
The sandwich filling will be placed
between the unbuttered sides of the
bread.
2. Place the bread onto the cooking plate,
then spoon the recommended quantity of
filling onto the bread.
3. Place the top slice of bread on top of the
filling.
4. Gently close the lid.
5. Allow the sandwiches to toast for
approximately 3 minutes, depending on
the bread, filling and personal taste.
