27
To remove the plates
Identify the plate release buttons (3) on the right side. Press
the button decisively to eject the plate from the base. Hold
the plate with both hands, slide it along the metal supports
and remove it from the base. Press the other release button
to remove the second plate, following the same operations.
Danger of burns!! Remove or change the cooking
plates when the appliance has cooled down.
Positioning the grease tray
During cooking, the grease tray must be inserted in its
housing on the back of the appliance. The grease coming
from the food is drained towards the hole in the plate and
gathered in the tray.
Please note: During cooking, check the grease tray
frequently and pull out to avoid excess liquid grease.
After cooking, dispose of the grease collected appropriately.
The grease tray is dishwasher safe.
Important! Pay attention during cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the handgrip which remains
cold. The die-cast aluminum parts become very hot, avoid
touching them during and immediately after cooking.
Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Cook only with the grease tray in place. Do not empty the
grease tray until the appliance is completely cool. Take care
when pulling out the grease tray in order to avoid spilling
the liquid.
COOKING POSITIONS
Contact grill (closed position)
The upper plate rests on the lower plate. This is the starting
position and also one of the cooking positions when the
appliance is used as a contact grill. The cover automatically
adjusts to the thickness of the food on the plate.
The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.
The contact grill is ideal for cooking hamburgers, deboned
meat and thin meat slices, vegetables and sandwiches. The
“contact” function is perfect to prepare food rapidly and
healthily. When you use the contact grill, the food cooks
quickly as it is in contact with the plates on both sides at once
(see gure 3).
The grease from the food is drained and collected by the
grooves on the plate and the hole at the back and is collected
in the grease tray.
The appliance has a special handgrip and hinge allowing
the upper plate to be adjusted according to the thickness
of the food. If you want to cook a number of dierent types
of food simultaneously using the contact grill, the various
foods should have the same thickness to allow the cover to
be closed evenly.
Open Grill
The upper plate is level with the lower plate. The lower and
upper plates are both at the same level, forming a large
cooking surface. In this position, the appliance can be used
in barbecue mode with either the grill plate or the griddle
plate. To place the appliance in this position, rst identify the
hinge release lever on the left. Hold the handgrip with the
right hand and with the left, slide the release lever upwards
(see gure 4).
Push the handgrip backwards until the cover rests upside
down in the at position (see gure 5).
CLICK
CLICK
28
Lifting the handgrip slightly before pulling the release lever
lightens pressure on the hinge and facilitates the operation.
The appliance can be used as a grill/barbecue to prepare
hamburgers, steak, chicken and sh. The grill/barbecue
mode is the most versatile. The grill plates are in the open
position, doubling the cooking surface (see gure 6).
You can prepare a number of dierent foods on the separate
plates without mixing the avors, or cook more of the same
food.
The grill/barbecue position can be used to grill cuts of meat
with dierent thicknesses, each with the preferred level of
cooking. In this position, you need to turn the food during
cooking.
The appliance can also be used as a griddle/barbecue plate
to prepare pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and
sausages for breakfast (see gure 7).
The large cooking surface enables a number of dierent foods
to be prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of the same
food.
Oven Grill
This position (see gure 8) is suitable for grilling without
contact thick foodstus that need to be roasted slowly and
uniformly. It is ideal for preparing vegetables with high water
content, so the water can evaporate.
You can also use this hot plate position to prepare soft
sandwiches and foods which do not require pressing.
- Place the food on the lower plate.
- Bring the upper plate near the food, holding the handle
(g. A).
- Put the grill plates lock/release and hight adjustment
lever (4) to desired oven position by sliding the lever.
- The upper plate is locked in position. There are 5
positions of height regulation (g. B).
USE
MANUAL mode
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you
are ready to cook, you can set a temperature from 60°C to
240°C for each grill plate (upper and lower) independently
(using the thermostat dials 9 and 16). Press the start/stop
button and the ON light will come on. The appliance takes
some minutes to heat up depending on the set temperature.
When the thermostat reaches the required temperature, the
appliance emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. "READY" appears
on the display. The temperature can be changed at any time
during cooking.
29
TIMER function
When "READY" appears on the display, select the cooking
position (see the section "Cooking Position"), then place
the food on the plates. The cooking time can be selected
by pressing the timer/ temperature probe buttons (14 and
15); at the end of the cooking time "END" is displayed, the
appliance emits 5 beeps, but the appliance remains on.
When the food is cooked, switch the appliance o by pressing
the start/stop button (8) or turn the thermostat dials (9 and
16) to the "●" position.
Please note: the appliance will turn o
automatically after 90 minutes of operation.
SEAR function
This feature heats the upper and/or lower plates to a higher
temperature for a few minutes. It is ideal for quickly searing
foods at the beginning of cooking (ideal for thick meat). Press
the start/stop button, then preheat the plates by pressing the
sear buttons (10 and 17).
During the preheating,the LEDs around the sear button
blink. Once the plate reaches the required temperature, the
appliance emits a beep, the LED stays on and xed for one
minute.
Put the food on the plates immediately; during this one
minute, the appliance regulates the plate at the sear
temperature. After that, the LED turns o, the display
shows the temperature set by the thermostat dials and the
appliance regulates the plate accordingly.
Please note: This function can be used once only
in every 30 minutes. After the cycle, if you press the sear
function within 30 minutes, the LED around the sear button
blink 5 times and the appliance will play 3 beeps. The
operation cannot be set on the control.
WAFFLE mode (some models only)

- Spread the batter slightly and close the appliance.
- Cook according to the time indicated in the recipes.
If you set the timer, three beeps will sound at the end of
the cooking cycle, the timer will disappear and "END"
will appear on the display; the appliance remains on. At
the end of the last wae press the "start/stop" button
to switch o the appliance.
- To cook additional waes, simply add batter to the
lower wae plate and follow the above steps.
Important! do not use metal tools when removing
the wae from the wae plates as they may scratch the
non-stick surface.
Please note: This function has been optimized with
the appliance working in CLOSED position.
SANDWICH function
This function is ideal for toasting bread on the outside and
heating the inside of the sandwich.
Press the SANDWICH button (11), the function LED lights up
and the default time (05:00) appears on the display. The time
can be changed at any time simply pressing buttons - (14)
+ (15); the temperature is already set, it cannot be changed
because knobs are deactivated.
Press the START / STOP button and the ON light will come on
(the time on the display will start ashing). The appliance
starts the preheating phase.
When the thermostat reaches the temperature, the appliance
emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. "READY" appears on the
display. Place the sandwich on the lower plate as shown in
gure 10, close with the upper one and press the SANDWICH
button to start the countdown. At the end of cooking ve
beeps will sound and “--:- -” will appear on the display. At the
19c
19d
30

Important! do not use metal tools when removing
the sandwich as they may scratch the non-stick surface.
Please note: starting from ready situation, if you do
not press the sandwich button for the second time within
60 minutes, the appliance turn o. This function has been
optimized with the appliance working in CLOSED position.
HAMBURGER function
This function is ideal for cooking hamburger. Press the
HAMBURGER button (12), the function LED lights up and the
default time (08:00) appears on the display. The time can
be changed any time simply pressing buttons - (14) + (15);
the temperature is already set, it cannot be changed because
knobs are deactivated. Press the START / STOP button and
the ON light will come on (the time on the display will start
ashing). The appliance starts the preheating phase.
When the thermostat reaches the temperature, the appliance
emits 3 beep, and is ready to use. "READY" appears on the

Important! do not use metal tools when removing
the hamburger as they may scratch the non-stick surface.
Please note: starting from ready situation, if you do
not press the hamburger button for the second time within
60 minutes, the appliance turn o. This function has been
optimized with the appliance working in CLOSED position.
KEEP WARM function
This function is ideal for keeping food warm at the end of
cooking, before serving on the table. Press the KEEP WARM
icon (13), the function LED lights up.
Once the function is activated, the temperatures of the
plates will change automatically from previous setting to
60 °C; since the plates do not cool down immediately, we
recommend cooking the food a few minutes less (it will nish
cooking during the keep warm).
We do not recommend using this function for foods such as
llets and steaks because if they remain hot for long time
they will tend to boil. Very suitable for fatty foods such as
sausages, ribs or poultry, hamburgers, vegetables, polenta
and some types of sh.
- If cooking time has not been set, by pressing
the KEEP WARM button (13) the function will start
immediatley (the time will appear on the display and 6
bars will ash instead of the temperatures).
- If the cooking time was set and press the KEEP WARM
button (13), at the end of the set time the appliance will
automatically switch to keep warm function.
To switch o the appliance, press Start/Stop button or, only in
case of manual mode, set the 2 knobs in "●" position.
It is not possible to switch from the KEEP WARM function to
cooking. Always rst reset the function by switching o the
appliance. The KEEP WARM function will automatically turn
o after 60 minutes of use.
If you connect the probe and you select the KEEP WARM
function before pressing the Start/Stop button, when the
food temperature reaches the required temperature the
appliance will automatically switch to KEEP WARM function.
Important! if use the keep warm function with
hamburger or sandwich functions, both plates will remain on
even if the knobs are in "●" position.
If use the keep warm function while cooking in manual
mode (contact grill, oven grill, open grill), only the plates in
operation will be on (if a knob is "●" during cooking, that
plate will remain OFF even in the keep warm function).
31
TEMPERATURE PROBE
This accessory is ideal for controlling the internal temperature
of the food so it can be cooked at the desired temperature.
Insert the probe (22) in its connector (18) as shown in gure
12, the display will automatically switch from timer mode to
temperature of the probe as shown in gure 13.
The probe can be used in two dierent ways; the rst simply
to check the temperature of the food whenever you want.
Check the temperature of the food by inserting and then re-
moving the probe from the food. The second option is to leave
it directly inside the food during cooking; in this case you can
set the target temperature by pressing the timer/tempera-
ture probe buttons - (14) + (15) as shown in gure 14.
Once the set temperature has been reached, the appliance
will emit 3 beeps (we always recommend checking the food
in several points before removing from the cooking plate to
be sure you have inserted the probe in the center of the food).
The appliance will remain on. If a cooking time is set and then
the probe is inserted, the numbers on the display are always
those of the temperature of probe and it will be not possible
to see the previous time set (to do this, remove the probe).
In this case, having set 2 controls (timer and target temper-
ature), the appliance will continue to count down the time,
at the end will emit 5 beeps while upon reaching the target
temperature it will emit 3 beeps. In both cases the appliance
will remain on. If I use the probe in the HAMBURGER function,
the default target temperature is 80 °C; you can change it by
pressing the timer/temperature probe buttons - (14) + (15).
The time in the automatic functions is always set even if it is
not seen when the probe is inserted.
If use the probe in the sandwich function, the probe can only
monitor the temperature and there is not a target tempera-
ture. The time in the automatic functions is always set even if
it is not seen when the probe is inserted.
Important! the tip is pointed, be careful to handle it.
Keep out of reach of children.
Danger of burns!! temperature probe can only be
used to measure the temperature of the food. When inserting
in the food, be careful not to touch the heating parts!
Please note: the probe can't be washed in the
dishwasher or immersed in water, you are therefore recom-
mended to clean the outside of the probe with a soft sponge
or cloth dampened with water and mild detergent.
