The grill can be used in three different ways:
1. Toasting Position
Place the upper cooking plate in a vertical position. Place toasts on the lower plate and close the upper plate on top. Do not press down with force.
2. Baking Position
Position the upper plate vertically just above the lower plate. Place food in a tray or directly on the lower plate.
3. Open Grilling Position
Open the upper plate to 180°. Place food on both plates. Use wooden or plastic utensils to avoid damaging the coating.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always unplug the appliance and let it cool completely before cleaning. Remove the plates, soak in warm water with detergent to dissolve grease, then wash by hand or in a dishwasher. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Safety Instructions
