The Adjustable Temperature Control  
model offers 3 heat settings: Low,  
Medium, and High, and the settings in  
between.  
The recipes and Grilling Chart were  
developed using the High setting.  
However the additional heat settings  
can be used for even more versatile  
grilling options.  
The Medium setting can be used for  
thick cuts of meat or bone-in cuts that  
should be thoroughly cooked, such as  
pork or poultry. These settings will  
assure proper cooking without drying  
out the meat.  
Variable Heat Model  
The Low setting should be used to  
hold food at serving temperature.

Operating Instructions  
BEFORE FIRST USE: Please wash the cooking surfaces of the grill as instructed  
under “Cleaning.”  
1. Plug the grill into an outlet. The ON  
light comes on when the grill is  
plugged in.  
5. Use a hot mitt and carefully lift grill  
cover and  
check food to  
see if cooked  
2. Brush grilling surfaces with oil or  
to desired  
spray with nonstick cooking spray.

for more information.  
not cut food  
on nonstick  
grilling surface.  
4. When preheated, raise grill cover.  
Place food to be cooked onto grill  
and lower grill cover. Always use grill  
with drip cup in place.  
6. When food is cooked to desired  
degree, remove the food and  
unplug the grill. Let cool slightly  
before cleaning.  
NOTE: Meats cooked on a contact grill  
will have more of a steamed, rather  
than grilled, appearance.  
Tips for Easy Grilling  
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL  
6 MINUTES WITH COVER  
CLOSED BEFORE USING.  
Use vegetable cooking spray for  
convenient, stick-free grilling. Or if  
you prefer, brush grill surfaces with  
vegetable oil before preheating.  
Read the Grill Use & Care Guide  
before starting to grill.  
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick  
grill surfaces. Do not use metal uten-  
sils as they will damage the nonstick  
surface.  
Grill cooking is so easy because you  
can brown meats, cook onions, grill  
vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes, steam  
fish and toast sandwiches.  
Plan ahead for quick meals by freez-  
ing boneless chicken breasts and  
burger patties for future meals. Place  
individual servings on a baking sheet  
and freeze. When frozen, place in  
plastic bags. To grill, see the “Grilling  
Chart” on page 5.  
Use the grill to “prep and cook”  
foods for traditional range-top  
recipes: brown ground beef for  
spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips  
for a Chinese dish. Since the grill  
cooks top and bottom at the same  
time, there’s no need to stir while  
cooking.  
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down.  
Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper  
towel or dish cloth.  
Cook “guilt-free” French fries  
without the extra oil or make perfect  
French toast that doesn’t need to be  
turned during cooking.
