  • Fitting: Align the two cut-outs at the back of the plate with the brackets on the housing base. Tilt the plate and slide it underneath the bracket. Push down the front end until it locks into place.
  • Removing: Press the plate release buttons located on the right side of the upper and lower housing. The plate will loosen; lift it up and slide it out from under the brackets.

Fitting the Integrated Drip Tray

The drip tray slides into the slot on the right side of the lower housing. Ensure it is inserted correctly to collect fat drained via the recess at the rear of the plates.

Using the Appliance

For optimum results, always preheat the unit:

  1. Plug the unit into a mains socket.
  2. Close the lid and turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting (Low, Medium, or High).
  3. A red light indicates the power is on and the unit is heating.
  4. Once the optimal temperature is reached, the green light will illuminate.

Cooking Tips: Use high heat for searing meats and low heat for delicate foods like vegetables or fruits. The floating hinge automatically adjusts to the thickness of your food. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the non-stick coating.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Always allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before cleaning.

  • Use the provided scraping tool to remove leftover food.
  • Plates and the drip tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher (top rack recommended for plates).
  • Wipe the housing base, cover, and control knobs with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Never immerse the housing, plug, or lead in water.

Before use

  • Remove all packaging materials and promotional labels.
  • Clean the grill and sandwich plates thoroughly.
  • Ensure plates are correctly fitted and locked into position.
  • Place the unit on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
