HOW TO:
Before First Use
• Remove and peel off any promotional materials and
packaging materials, and check that the cooking plates are
clean and free of dust.
• Clean the grill and drip tray as instructed in the Care and
Cleaning section.
• Place unit on a flat, level surface allowing enough space
around the unit for heat to flow without causing damage to
walls or cabinets.
• When using your 7-Minute Grill for the first time, you may
notice smoke and a slight odor. This is normal when heating
the appliance for the first time and there is no reason for
concern.
Using Your 7-Minute Grill
1. Unwrap power cord from cord wrap underneath the base of
the unit.
2. Slide drip tray in place below the bottom cooking plate.
Tip: The grill must be in the horizontal position for the drip
tray to fit into position.
3. Plug the unit into a standard electrical outlet.
4. The red Power indicator light illuminates. The unit starts
preheating.
5. Once the preheating temperature is reached, the green
Ready to Cook indicator light illuminates. The LED display
shows "0"

6. Using the handle, lift the cover to the open position (Figure 1).
7. Carefully place food to be cooked onto bottom cooking plate.
Note: You can cook up to 2 servings in this grill; for example, 2
hamburgers. Make sure you do not overload the grill.
8. Using the handle, close the cover. Thick foods may cause grill
to not fully shut. If this happens, thin food item so top
cooking plate can be closed.
9. Turn the handle to the right (clockwise) to change the grill to
the vertical position (Figure 2). As you turn the handle, the
cover is locked and cannot be opened until the grill is placed
back in the horizontal position.
Note: If cooking foods with fillings, like a grilled cheese
sandwich, it is recommended to cook in the horizontal position
to prevent the filling from being released out of the plates.
