INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging. Clean the cooking plates by wiping a sponge or cloth dampened in
warm water. Do not immerse the unit and do not run water directly on the cooking surfa-
ces. Dry with a cloth or paper towel. For best results, lightly coat the cooking plates with a
little cooking oil or cooking spray.
Notice: When your Contact Grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or
odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your
appliance.
HOW TO USE
Before using the appliance for the first time, peel off any promotional materials and pac-
kaging materials, and check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary,
wipe over with a damp cloth. For best results, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil on to the
non-stick plates. Spread over with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.
PREPARING YOUR CONTACT GRILL
Close the Contact Grill and plug it into the wall outlet, you will find the "Power" light, in-
dicating that the Contact Grill has begun to work. At this time, you can turn clockwise the
temperature knob to your desired setting: "MIN" for light toasted food and "MAX" for dee-
per toasted food. At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher
according to your preference. Different foods will also cook up differently.
After a few minutes you will find the light "Ready" is on, indicating that the Contact Grill
has finished heating and prepared. Then you can cook the food to your liking.
COOKING
To Use as a Contact Grill
• Prepare the burgers, meat or other foods and place them onto the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press
down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selec-
ted foods.
• When the foods are cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help
of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the
non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Kontakt Grill as a contact grill, when you want to cook something in a short
amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling.
To Use as Press grill

place sandwi-ches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
