This grill has an extra large capacity. Sized to fit six
burgers, six chicken breasts or four panini. and, since the
grill cooks food from both sides at the same time, it grills
quickly and efficiently.
Opti-heat system:
the precision placement of the grill's heating elements,
along with the internal temperature sensor, helps
maintain even heat across the cooking surface.
Non-stick coating:
the premium non-stick coated grill plates eliminate the
annoyance of food that sticks. that means you won't
waste time scraping bits of the plates.
Controls:
the raised controls illuminate so you know when thr grill
is 'On' or 'Off' and how much cooking time remains.
choose from a variety of temperatures to toast your
favorite panini or sear a juicy steak. Select 'always on'
for continuous grilling or set the timer for a designated
cooking time.
Adjustable grill height:
adjust the grill for various thickness of food. Slide the
height selector into the desired position, so you can
accommodate everything from thick steaks to more
delicate grilled cheese sandwiches.
Removable dishwasher-safe grill plates:
take the hassle out of clean up by placing the removable
grill plates in the dishwasher.
Internal drip tray:
as the grill sears the outside of meats and poultry, excess
fat drains away into the handy, hidden drip tray. after the
grill cools, simply slide the tray out and dispose of the
drippings after each use. the tray can be placed in the
dishwasher for clean up.
Upright storage:
save space in the kitchen with the convenient upright
storage of the grill. just close the grill, slide the locking
lever into the locked position, and tuck the grill away
standing upright for space saving convenience.

until serving.
150°C - choose this setting for toasting breads or
sandwiches such as grilled cheese and other Panini-style
sandwiches.
200°C - this setting is ideal for grilled burgers, pork
chops and chicken breasts.
230°C - try this setting for searing the outside of
meats, such as steaks, when you want the outside
brown, while the inside stays juicy and pink.
• Preheat the grill. the grill does not begin operating,
until the timer is set. to set the timer, turn the timer
knob clockwise from the 'Off' position to the desired
number of minutes or counterclockwise to the 'always
on' position. preheat the grill for 5 minutes before
inserting food. you will know the grill is preheated when
the green 'ready' light comes on.
• Place food on the preheated grill. carefully open the
grill using the handle and a pot holder, avoiding contact
with the hot grill plates. place the food on the lower

the timer knob will tick and gradually count down to
zero. a bell will sound when the timer reaches zero and
the grill will stop heating. to cook another round, set
the timer again.
• remove food from the grill. When the food is done,
lift the handle and carefully remove it from the grill
using a heat-resistant, non-metal utensil. check the
internal temperature of meats and poultry to make sure
they are at the desired level of doneness.
