How to use

Place food items on the lower plate, lower the lid to make contact with the top grid surface and apply gentle pressure if required for panini or press-style cooking. Monitor cooking progress and when done, lift the lid and remove food with heat-resistant utensils. Allow the grill to cool before wiping the surfaces with a damp cloth and following any manufacturer care instructions for cleaning.

For best results choose evenly sized portions to ensure uniform cooking, avoid using sharp metal utensils that could damage the grid surface, and wipe down the housing and plates after cooling to maintain appearance and hygiene. Use moderate oiling for lean meats or vegetables to prevent sticking and ensure clear grill marks.
