Deluxe for the first time, wipe the base, 

cover and controls with a damp cloth. 

Thoroughly clean cooking plates, drip tray 

and scraping tool; all are dishwasher safe. 

Refer to Assembly Instructions below for  

plate removal.

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
