2. Use only on AC 120 Volt, 50/60 Hz

3. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

4. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plug, temperature controller or the appliance in water or other liquid.

5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

7. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

8. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or cause injury.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the longer cord should be at least that

of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off any promotional materials and packaging materials, and check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust

• Clean the grill and the accessories (Cf. "Cleaning and care"). It is recommended to heat up the grill for about 10 minutes without any foodstuff in order to eliminate the grease that may have adhered during manufacture and the "new" smell.

• Ventilate the room during this period. When your Grill Toaster is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odour. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

OPERATION

• With the thermostat set to “Min”, plug the appliance in. The red light will light up.

•

Apply a little oil on the cooking plate. Turn the knob to desired temperature level.

Preheat the grill to reach the ideal cooking

temperature. When the appliance reaches the desired temperature, the green pilot light will light up.

•

Position the fat collecting tray near the spout on the side of the appliance.

To Use as a Contact Grill

Use the Grill as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.

• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the “max” setting. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.

• Prepare the burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat or other foods as directed and place it onto the bottom cooking plate.

• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve Grill marks on the selected foods.

• When the foods is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.

• NOTE : The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates.

Cooking with less fat

• If you want to cook with less fat, you can get rid of the excess cooking fat by using the slanted feet at the back of the appliance. This will provide the contact grid with a slope that will help evacuate the extra fat near the front edge of the cooking plate, and towards the fat collecting tray.

To Use as Press grill

Use the Grill as a Press grill to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.

• Set the Grill Toaster Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a medium setting (temperature setting 5 or 6). You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.

• Prepare the sandwiches and place them onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place the sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate first.

• Close the top cooking plate, which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.

• Cook for about 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting the time to suit your own individual taste.

• When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.

• To ensure proper and uniform grilling, when cooking more than one food item in the grill, it is important for the thickness of all food items to be consistent, so that the cover will close evenly on the food.

To Use as Open grill or a griddle

Use the Grill Toaster as an open grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking chicken parts with bones, since they would not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.

• Put the grill on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook in flat position.

• With you left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you (towards the handle). Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter. The unit will stay in this position until you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.

• The upper plate/cover is now level with lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface.

• Cooking on the open grill is the most versatile method of using the Grill Toaster. In the open position, you have double the surface area for grilling

• You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to you liking.

• You can use 2 fat collecting trays in this configuration, one per plate.

PRACTICAL HINTS

• Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.

• To grill meat, put the thermostat in its maximum position and

preheat the grill. For other ingredients, choose the temperature accordingly.

• If you grill vegetables, fish or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking spray. If you are grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the grill prior to cooking.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Put in “MIN” position, pull the plug from the power socket and let the appliance cool down before cleaning it.

• Clean the grill plates with a damp cloth, sponge or paper towel.

• Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the

non-stick coating

• Do not use hard, sharp utensils. If the grill plates are very dirty, use mild washing-up product. Rinse with hot water on a sponge or towel and dry the plates carefully. The cleaning succeeds best when the grill plates are still slightly warm.

• To clean the housing, use a damp cloth, if necessary with some mild washing-up product.

• Make sure no water or other liquid penetrates into the appliance.

• DO NOT place in the dishwasher

• NEVER clean or rinse the appliance under running water.

STORAGE

• Always unplug the Grill Toaster before storage.

• Always make sure the Grill Toaster is cool and dry before string.
