Electrical Requirements
Avoid electrical shock. This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and it should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. If the plug fails to fit into an existing outlet, contact a qualified electrician to update the outlet.
Use proper extension cord. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. A short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance and the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Parts and Features
OPTI-HEATTM System
Optimal Heat Delivery:
The precision placement of the grill’s heating element, along with the internal sensor, help maintain even heat across the cooking surface.
Premium Materials:
Your grill’s high performance bronze nonstick finish is backed with our exclusive 5-year warranty, and it offers flawless release as well as easy clean-up. The removable plates are made from heavy-gauge cast aluminum.
Sleek, Contoured Design – The updated, contoured shape of your removable plate grill complements contemporary kitchen designs, and the sleek stainless steel housing coordinates with other Calphalon countertop appliances.
Extra-Large Grill Capacity – Cook for a few or for a crowd with the extra large grill capacity. Sized to fit 6 burgers, 6 (4- ounce) chicken breasts, or 4 Panini, the grill is ready for action year round. And, since the grill cooks food from both sides at the same time, it grills quickly and efficiently.
Elevated, Easy-to-Read Controls – Our raised controls illuminate so you know when the grill is “On” and “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 thicknesses of food. Slide the height selector into the desired position, so you can accommodate everything from thick steaks to more delicate grilled cheese sandwiches.
6
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 your removable plate 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 removable plate grill. Just empty and clean the drip tray, close the grill, move the height selector into the lock position, and tuck the grill away standing upright for space-saving convenience.
Assembling Your Removable Plate Grill
1.Carefully remove all the pieces of the removable plate grill from the packaging and place on counter near a suitable electrical outlet. (See page 5 for information regarding electrical requirements.) Remove all packaging materials, including any stickers or tags, from the grill before the first use.
2.Before the first use, wash the removable grill plates and drip tray in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3.Attach grill plates to removable plate grill base by snapping into place. Insert drip tray.
4.Plug power cord into 3-prong electrical outlet and continue with steps for “Operating Your Removable Plate Grill”.

Operating Your Removable Plate Grill
WARNING
NEVER PLUG THE CORD INTO THE WALL OUTLET WITH THE GRILL PLATES REMOVED FROM THE REMOVABLE PLATE GRILL.
Setting The Controls
Step 1: Choose the heat setting. Turn the control knob clockwise to the desired heat setting. Consider the following general tips for selecting a heat setting.
200˚F – Use this setting to keep grilled foods warm until serving.
300˚F – Choose this setting for toasting breads or sandwiches such as grilled cheese and other Panini-style sandwiches.
400˚F – This setting is ideal for grilled burgers, pork chops and chicken breasts.
450˚F – 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.
Step 2: Preheat the grill. The removable plate grill does not begin operating until the timer is set. To set the timer, turn the 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.
8
Step 3: Place food on 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 grill plate. Carefully close the grill, sandwiching the food in between
the hot grill plates. See the Grilling Guide on page 10 for suggested grilling times.
Step 4: Set the timer. To set the timer, turn the knob clockwise to the desired number of minutes or counterclockwise to “Always On”. The “Always On” feature lets you operate your grill for longer cooking times without needing to watch or reset the timer. If you select a cooking time, as the grilling time elapses, the timer knob will tick and gradually count down to 0. A bell will sound when the timer reaches zero and the grill will stop heating. To cook another round, set the timer again.
Step 5: Remove food from grill. When the food is done, lift the handle and carefully remove it from the grill using a heat-resistant, non-metal utensil (being careful not to scratch the grill plates with a metal utensil). Check the internal temperature of meats and poultry to make sure they are at the desired level of doneness. Unplug the cord from the outlet when finished cooking. Allow to cool before cleaning or removing the grill plates.

Your Calphalon Removable Plate Grill includes an adjustable height feature that lets you control how much pressure is placed on delicate foods like grilled cheese sandwiches. It provides
a stop for the upper housing which limits how far it will close. And, it allows you to set the grill to heat your food from the bottom only, if desired.
1.Preheat the grill with the top housing fully closed.
2.Open the grill and place your food on the lower plate.
3.Set the adjustable height to the desired height and carefully close the grill, lowering the top housing until it rests on the slider.
4.If you need to adjust the height, open the grill, reset the slider, and carefully close the grill again.
Cleaning and Care
1. Metal utensils may damage the nonstick coating. Use only nonmetal, temperature resistant utensils, such as wood or nylon.
2. When you are done using the removable plate grill, turn it “Off” and carefully unplug it.
3. Allow the removable plate grill to cool and then remove the grill plates and the drip tray.
4. Discard drippings from the drip tray. For everyday clean-up of the drip tray and grill plates, use hot sudsy water and a dish cloth. For grease build-up on the grill plate nonstick surface, clean with a Dobie® pad and a
