USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packaging and labels from the plate. Before throwing the packing material away, make sure you have removed all parts of the new appliance. We recommend you keep the box and packing to re-use in the future.
Please note: Before use, clean the base, cover and dials with a damp cloth to remove dust accumulated during transport.
Clean the cooking plates, grease tray and cleaning tool thoroughly. The plates, grease tray and spatula are dishwasher safe.
Please note: The first time you use the appliance, it may give off a slight odor and a little smoke. This is normal and common to all appliances with non-stick surfaces. The appliance is supplied with a cleaning tool to clean the plates when the appliance has completely cooled down after use (after at least 30 minutes). The cleaning tool can be used during cooking for a few seconds to remove residual food and oil. If you use the tool for a long time on plates which are still hot, the plastic may melt.
Please note: the removable grill plates (grill and griddle) are fully interchangeable on the appliance.

Inserting the cooking plates

• Place the appliance in the flat position (see figure 1). Insert one plate at a time.
  
• Each plate can be inserted in either the top or bottom housing (see figure 2).
  

To remove the plates
Place the appliance in the flat position.
Identify the plate release buttons (3) on the right side. Press the button decisively to eject the plate from the base. Hold the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal supports and remove it from the base. Press the other release button to remove the second plate, following the same operations.
Danger of burns!! Remove or change the cooking plates when the appliance has cooled down.

Positioning the grease tray
During cooking, the grease tray must be inserted in its housing on the back of the appliance. The grease coming from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and gathered in the tray.
Please note: During cooking, check the grease tray frequently and pull out to avoid excess liquid grease.
After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately.
The grease tray is dishwasher safe.

Pay attention during cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the handgrip which remains cold. The die-cast aluminum parts become very hot, avoid touching them during and immediately after cooking. Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Cook only with the grease tray in place. Do not empty the grease tray until the appliance is completely cool. Take care when pulling out the grease tray in order to avoid spilling the liquid.

COOKING POSITIONS

Contact grill (closed position)

• The upper plate rests on the lower plate. This is the starting position and also one of the cooking positions when the appliance is used as a contact grill. The cover automatically adjusts to the thickness of the food on the plate.
  The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.
  The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches. The "contact" function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both sides at once (see figure 3).
  

The grease from the food is drained and collected by the grooves on the plate and the hole at the back and is collected in the grease tray.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing the upper plate to be adjusted according to the thickness of the food. If you want to cook a number of different types of food simultaneously using the contact grill, the various foods should have the same thickness to allow the cover to be closed evenly.

Open Grill

• The upper plate is level with the lower plate. The lower and upper plates are both at the same level, forming a large cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can be used in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or the griddle plate. To place the appliance in this position, first identify the hinge release lever on the right. Hold the handgrip with the left hand and with the right, slide the release lever upwards (see figure 4).
  
  Push the handgrip backwards until the cover rests upside down in the flat position (see figure 5).
  
  Lifting the handgrip slightly before pulling the release lever lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the operation. The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare hamburgers, steak, chicken and fish. The grill/barbecue mode is the most versatile. The grill plates are in the open position, doubling the cooking surface (see figure 6).
  
  You can prepare a number of different foods on the separate plates without mixing the flavors, or cook more of the same food.
  The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of meat with different thicknesses, each with the preferred level of cooking. In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking.
• The appliance can also be used as a griddle/barbecue plate to prepare pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and sausages for breakfast (see figure 7).
  The large cooking surface enables a number of different foods to be prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of the same food.
  

Oven Grill
This position (see figure 8) is suitable for grilling without contact thick foodstuffs that need to be roasted slowly and uniformly.

It is ideal for preparing vegetables with high water content, so the water can evaporate.
You can also use this hot plate position to prepare soft sandwiches and foods which do not require pressing.

• Place the food on the lower plate.
• Bring the upper plate near the food, holding the handle (fig. A).
  
• Turn the height adjustment knob (6) to (fig. B).
  
• The upper plate is locked in position.
  There are 4 positions of height regulation.
• Lifting the upper plate further will automatically release the regulation system (fig. C).
  
• Once the height is set, further adjustments are possible by pulling the knob out and setting a new position (fig. D).
  

USE

Operation
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you are ready to cook, you can set a temperature from 60°C to 230°C for each grill plate (upper and lower) independently (using the thermostat dials 12 and 14).
Press the start/stop button and the ON light will come on. The appliance takes some minutes to heat up depending on the set temperature. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits a beep, and is ready to use. "READY" appears on the display. The temperature can be changed at any time during cooking, depending on the type of food being prepared.

Timer function
When "READY" appears on the display, select the cooking position (see the section "Cooking Position"), then place the food on the plates. The cooking time can be selected by pressing the timer buttons (9 and 10); in this case, at the end of the cooking time, the appliance switches off automatically and "END" is displayed. To switch the appliance on again, press the start/stop button (8). When the food is cooked, if you have not selected a cooking time, switch the appliance off by pressing the start/stop button or turn the thermostat dials (12 and 14) to the off position.
Please note: if no time is selected, the appliance will turn off automatically after 90 minutes of operation.

Sear function
This feature heats the upper and/or lower plates to a higher temperature for a few minutes. It is ideal for quickly searing foods at the beginning of cooking (ideal for thick meat). Press the start/stop button, then preheat the plates by pressing the sear buttons (11 and 13). While preheating, "SEAR" flashes on the display. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits a beep and "sear" appears on the display. Put the food on the plates immediately. The cycle is complete in a few minutes, and "sear" disappears from the display.
Please note: This function can be used once only in every 30 minutes. After the cycle, if you press the sear function within 30 minutes, "sear" will flash on the display, then go off. The operation cannot be set on the control.

Waffle mode (certain models only)

• Insert the waffle plates (15c/15d) as show in fig.1. Please note that in this case the plates are not interchangeable and the position of each plate must be as shown in figure 9.
  
• Once the lower plate is inserted in the appliance, appears on the display.
  Turn the thermostat dials to the waffle setting and press the start/stop button.
• The appliance starts the preheating phase. When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the appliance emits a beep, and is ready to use. "READY" appears on the display.
• Lightly grease the plates with melted butter
• Add one dosing cup for each waffle area.
• Spread the batter slightly and close the appliance.
• Cook according to the time indicated in the recipes.
  If you set the timer, three beeps will sound at the end of the cooking cycle, the timer will disappear and "END" will appear on the display; the appliance switches off automatically. If you do not select a time, at the end of the last waffle press the "start/stop" button to switch off the appliance.
• To cook additional waffles, simply add batter to the lower waffle plate and follow the above steps.
  
  do not use metal tools when removing the waffle from the waffle plates as they may scratch the non-stick surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

User maintenance

• Never use metal cleaning tools which could scratch the non-stick plates. Use wood or heat-resistant plastic tools.
• Never leave plastic tools in contact with the hot plates, including the cleaning tool supplied.
• Between cooking one food and the next, remove food residues through the grease drain hole and collect them in the grease tray, then clean with kitchen paper and move on to the next cooking operation.
• Before cleaning the appliance, always leave the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

Cleaning and care
Please note: Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it has cooled down completely.
At the end of cooking, turn the appliance OFF and unplug from the mains. Leave the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes. Use the special tool supplied to remove any food residues from the plates. The tool can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Empty the grease tray. The grease tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Press the plate release buttons (3) to remove the plates from the appliance. Before touching them, make sure they have cooled down completely. The cooking plates are dishwasher safe although frequent washing in a dishwasher could reduce the properties of the coating. You are therefore recommended to clean the outside of the cooking plate with a soft sponge or cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Do not use metal tools to clean the plates.
