Step 5: PlaCe fOOD On GRIll
For closed grilling, lift the handle of the grill until it rests at the top
position (at about 90 degrees). Place food on lower plate, using heat
resistant nonmetal utensils, and gently pull the handle down, sandwiching
the food firmly between the hot plates. The lid has a floating hinge, which
allows it to adjust to accommodate everything from thin quesadillas to large
steaks and thick panini sandwiches.
For open grilling, place food on preheated plates using heat resistant
nonmetal utensils. Turn halfway through the designated cooking time.
See the Cooking Guide found on page 12 in the Tips for Successful
Operation section for suggested settings and cooking times.
