How to use

Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant surface and plug it into a suitable mains outlet. Use the adjustable thermostat to select the appropriate heat level for the food being cooked. Preheat the grill until the ready indicator signals it has reached the selected temperature. Arrange food on the lower plate without overcrowding to ensure even cooking, then lower the top plate if the model design allows. Monitor cooking progress and use appropriate utensils to remove food once the desired doneness is reached. After use, switch off and unplug the appliance, allow it to cool, and wipe the plates and housing according to the care instructions.

Recommendations

For best results, preheat before placing food on the plates and avoid overfilling the cooking surface to maintain even heat distribution. Use the adjustable thermostat to match the thickness and type of food, and follow manufacturer cleaning instructions to preserve the thermoplastic housing and grill surfaces.
