FLOATING hINGE POSITION TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the lid
frequently.
• Do not overfill the appliance; it will hold 2 to 3 servings comfortably.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes
before suggested time; if necessary adjust the time.
• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and
thickness.
• Remember that since the appliance is cooking from both sides, cooking
time will probably be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid
overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before
cooking.

2. Press the hinge release button on the bottom right side of the handle and

appliance is not plugged in and is at room temperature.
3. Attach the plates and place the drip tray as instructed on page 4.

CHARTS on pages 7-10 for suggested settings) and allow the appliance to
preheat to the selected temperature. (See PREHEATING on page 5.)

7. Allow food to cook for the desired time, flipping halfway through, if
necessary. If desired, use a kitchen timer.
Note: Cooking times may vary from the times listed in the COOKING CHARTS.
Important: Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.
8. After the selected time the food should be done. If you would prefer longer
cooking, simply follow the steps beginning at step 6.

spatula.
Important: Always use heatproof plastic, silicone or wood utensils to avoid
scratching the nonstick surface of the plates. Never use metal skewers,
tongs, forks or knives.
