This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness
of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or
piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.

COOKING GUIDE

The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will
depend on the thickness of the food. To be sure your food is cooked, USDA
recommends using a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Insert the meat
thermometer into the thickest part of the meat until the temperature stabilizes.
