To Use as a Press Grill (Closed Position)

NOTE: When cooking more than one piece of food, or a combination of foods,
always prepare so that the food items are the same thickness. This will enable food to cook quickly and
evenly. With both grill plates installed, proper food preparation and higher heat will ensure rich grill marks
both upper and lower.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to property, when grilling juicy or fatty foods, always
make sure removable grease catcher cup is in position under the grease drain on the right side of the
open plates.
1. Install 2 reversible grill/griddle plates; choose whichever plates suit your cooking needs.
NOTE: Although most grilling will be done using matching plates upper and lower, when cooking
delicate foods, it may be beneficial to install a upper grill (ribbed) plate and a lower griddle (flat)
plate. (See Figure 3.)
2. Following recipe directions, turn the temperature control dial to 400ºF or 425°F.
3. When the blue READY light illuminates, center food on the open cooking plate(s).
4. Place food, oiled side down, centered, on the lower cooking plate.
5. Your 8-IN-1 Grill Station is equipped with a floating hinge that allows the upper lid to expand
and accommodate thicker foods: meats, veggies, desserts, etc
6. Floating Hinge Set-Up: Open the lid to 90º. Grasp the handle to lift the upper cooking plate and extend
the hinge (See Figure 7); then lower the upper cooking plate on top of the food. (See Figure 8.)
7. To ensure perfectly grilled food, check to make sure that the upper plate lies evenly on the top
of the food and the food is centered on the lower plate. If desired, press the handle down several
times while cooking.
