How to use

Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant surface and plug into a grounded outlet using the full extent of the 2 m cord if needed. Preheat the unit until the indicator shows it has reached operating temperature, then place food items on the lower plate and close the lid to ensure even contact. Adjust cooking time according to thickness and desired doneness; for thicker cuts, allow slightly longer cooking and consider flipping if necessary. After use, allow the grill to cool before removing drippings or cleaning the plates according to the manufacturer’s guidance.

Recommendations

For best results, preheat the grill fully and avoid overcrowding the surface to maintain consistent heat. Use moderate oiling of food surfaces as needed to prevent sticking, and follow safe handling practices for raw meats. Regular cleaning of the plates and drip tray will preserve performance and hygiene.
