SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit the outlet perfectly, reverse the plug.

3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet. 4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support. 5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only. IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE 1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the contact grill except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit. 2. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any packaging residue.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE CONTACT GRILL The contact grill cooks food between the top and bottom cooking plates simultaneously for fast, even results. It’s perfect for making panini and hot sandwiches, or for grilling other foods like vegetables or chicken cutlets.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE CONTACT GRILL 6. Carefully place your food on the bottom cooking plate. If cooking more than one item, make sure they are of a similar thickness for even cooking. 7. Close the lid. Gently press the handle down to ensure the lid rests evenly on top of the food.
COOKING TIPS • Preheat the contact grill closed for best results. (Heat dissipates when preheating the unit open, so preheating will take longer.) • To make crispier, more flavorful sandwiches, brush the outside of your bread with oil or butter before grilling. Crispiness also depends on the fillings you use—fillings with a lot of moisture can result in a soggier sandwich.

COOKING TIPS • Avoid cooking fatty foods and meats, such as hamburgers, as the grease produced during cooking will not properly drain. • Boneless cuts of chicken and meat cook most evenly on the contact grill. Avoid cooking bone-in pieces of chicken, as they won’t cook evenly.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE With its nonstick plates, the contact grill is super easy to clean. 1. Unplug the unit when done and let it cool completely before cleaning. 2. Wipe the cooking plates with a dry paper towel to absorb excess oils.
