Ensure any stickers and packaging are
removed from the product. Wipe over plates
with a dampened cloth and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
Note: When using your Café Contact Grill
and Sandwich Press for the first time you
may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted
from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the
initial heating of internal components.

1. Always spray the grill plates with cooking
spray before placing meat, seafood or
vegetables onto the grill plate.
2. Gently lower the lid (if desired), by pulling
down the handle. The café-design floating
hinge system will adjust automatically
ensuring the top cooking plate lies evenly
on your food for perfect grilling everytime.
3. If desired, halfway through cooking, turn
your food over to achieve grill marks on
both the top and bottom of your food.
4. When cooking some foods you may want to
re-spray the top grill plate to prevent food
from sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
high grade non-stick coating. Some foods
that are marinated or coated may cause
the food to stick to the grill plates.
To free the food use a plastic spatula or
wooden spoon. Never use a sharp metal
object as this will damage the non-stick
surface.
