HOW TO USE
Before using the appliance for the first time, peel off any promotional materials and packaging
materials, and check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over
with a damp cloth.
PREPARING YOUR GRILL TOASTER

With the thermostat in the minimum position, lights are on.
Preheat the appliance by turning the thermostat to the required position, the light comes
on.
When the appliance reaches the temperature set, the light goes off.
Place the food to be grilled on the grill plates.
To turn the appliance off, rotate the thermostat knob anticlockwise as far as it will go.

COOKING
To Use as a Contact Grill and Press Grill
• Use to prepare burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.
• 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
plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick
coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Grill-Toaster as a contact grill , when you want to cook something in a short amount
of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the contact
grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time.
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.
To Use as Open grill
• Upper plate/cover is level with lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to create
one large cooking surface. The Grill Toaster to this position, locate the hinge release lever on
the right arm.
• With you left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. 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.
• Use the Grill Toaster as an open grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend
cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
• Cooking on the open grill is the most versatile method of using the Grill Toaster. In the open
position, you have doubled the surface area for grill.
• 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 your liking.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the appliance, always unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
Cleaning the grill every time you use it, avoids smoke and unpleasant smell the next time
you cook.
