The grill is not getting hot; what am I doing wrong?
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet.
then, check to make sure both the heat setting knob and
the timer are set. the grill does not begin heating until
you set the timer.
My burger patties are only getting grill marks on one
side. Why?
check the adjustable grill height selector lever on your
grill. If it is set too high, it may not be sandwiching your
burger patties snugly enough to form grill marks on both
sides.
When I grill frozen chicken breasts, they are brown on
the outside and still pink inside. How can I make sure
they are safely cooked?
Be sure to thaw meats and poultry first before grilling.

Is it okay to grill a thick cut pork chop alongside a thinner
pork chop?
It is best to cook meat of the same thickness at the same
time. So, either cook one chop and then the other.

Tips for grilling perfect Panini
• use good quality bread.
• Use a combination of ingredients for the filling but
don't make the sandwich overly complex. three to four
ingredients is ideal for letting individual flavors shine
through.
• try to select one ingredient that will help bind the
sandwich together. cheese is a good choice because as
it melts, it gets sticky. garlic mayonaise, olive
tapenade, or even barbecue sauce can achieve a similar
effect.
• do not overstuff the panini or the exterior will cook
before the interior has a chance to.
• Once assembled, brush both sides of the sandwich
lightly with olive oil.
• preheat the grill at 150°c until the ready light comes
on.
• When the grill is hot, brush it lightly with olive oil.
place the sandwich in the grill and close the lid. grill
for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
