ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Place base on a clean, flat surface where
you intend to cook, with the controls
directly in front of you.
To insert the cooking plates:
1. Choose the side(s) you intend to cook
on. The two cooking plates each have
two sides:
a. Grill side: ribbed surface intended for
grilling steaks, hamburgers, chicken,
seafood and vegetables. Also can be
used for panini and other toasted
sandwiches.
b. Griddle side: smooth surface
intended for cooking bacon and eggs,
pancakes and French toast. Also can
be used for panini and other toasted
sandwiches.
2. Locate the metal brackets at the back
of the housing. Tilt the back end of the
plate and line up the cutouts at the
back of the plate with the metal
brackets. Slide the plate underneath
the brackets and push down the front
end of the plate. It will snap into place.
Insert the second plate into the upper
housing as you did with the first plate.
3. Slide the drip tray into the base at the
rear of the unit from the right side.
4. Plug the cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
