• DO NOT use the Grill near water or other liquids, with wet hands, or while standing on a wet surface.
• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put a cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Grill is NOT dishwasher safe.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before moving, cleaning, storing, and when not in use. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• DO NOT remove the Removable Plates until the Grill has completely cooled. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Warning: The Grill will still heat up if plugged in without any Removable Plates in place. Always have the Removable Plates properly in place in the Grill before plugging it in.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance, as this may damage the Grill and the nonstick Removable Plates.
• The Removable Plates are dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the life of the product. Let the Removable Plates cool before removing and/or washing.
• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or is damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even personal injury.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Parts & Features

Inserting Removable Plates

1. Choose two Removable Plates for cooking.
2. Each Plate has two metal tabs that jut out from one side. Each half of the Grill has two Plate Insertion Grooves located near the hinge of the Grill. To install a Removable Plate, position it with the metal tabs pointed toward the hinge of the Grill and find the Plate Insertion Grooves (photo A). Guide the tabs into the two Plate Insertion Grooves. Once inserted (photo B), simply push until there’s a slight click. This indicates that the Plate is properly in place.

WARNING: Always insert Plates before powering on the Grill. Never attempt to insert Plates into a hot Grill, a Grill that is in use, or a Grill that is plugged in.

Setting Up the Flex Press Grill

1. For Closed-Grill Cooking, including pressing paninis, place the Grill on a stable and dry surface. Use the Lid Handle to open and close the Grill.
2. For Open-Faced Flattop Grilling, place the Grill on a stable and dry surface and open the Grill using the Lid Handle. Find the Hinge Release Button on the right side of the Grill. With the Grill at a 90° angle, pull the Lid gently forward while simultaneously sliding the Hinge Release Button upward (photo A). The Floating Hinge will release, allowing you to guide the top half of the Grill to rest on the countertop (photo B).

Using the Flex Press Grill

1. After setting up for either Closed-Grill Cooking or Open-Face Flattop Grilling, make sure the Drip Tray is inserted into the front of the Grill before plugging in (photo A). Then plug the cord into a power outlet. The blue Indicator Light will illuminate (photo B), signaling that the Grill is heating up.
2. Once the Removable Plates reach the optimal cooking temperature, the white Indicator Light will also illuminate. When both blue and white lights are illuminated, it’s time to start cooking.
   • Note: Aerosol cooking sprays often contain soy lecithin, an additive that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of the product, avoid aerosols and instead grease cooking surfaces using a silicone basting brush or a non-aerosol spray bottle.
3. Carefully lift the Grill by the Lid Handle and lightly grease both Removable Plates with a small amount of cooking oil (photo C).
4. To begin cooking, add ingredients to greased cooking surface(s). For waffles, pour batter onto the bottom cooking surface as per recipe instructions. For paninis and all Closed-Grill Cooking, close the Grill using the Lid Handle and allow to cook as per recipe instructions (photo D).
5. Once food is cooked to preference, remove it using a heat-resistant nylon or silicone cooking utensil. When finished cooking, unplug the Grill and allow it to cool before moving, cleaning, or ejecting the Removable Plates.

CAUTION: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Removable Plates, as this will damage their nonstick coating.

Removing the Plates

1. To remove Removable Plates once cooled, press the Plate Release Tabs.
2. The Plates will pop up and can then be fully removed by angling the plate and pulling it such that the metal tabs become free from the Plate Insertion Grooves (photo A).

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Removable Plates from the Grill until they have fully cooled.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Always allow the Removable Plates to cool completely before handling or removing them. Always allow the Grill to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing. Do not submerge the appliance in water or any other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance, as this may damage the Grill.
• To keep the Grill System in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the appliance and Plates after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.
• Before removing the Removable Plates and after use, unplug the Grill to allow it to cool completely.
• Allow the Removable Plates to cool before touching, removing, or running under water.
• The Drip Tray is top rack dishwasher safe.
• The Removable Plates are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the nonstick cooking surface.
• To hand-wash the Removable Plates, use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, apply a small amount of cooking oil and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Then scrub the Removable Plates with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down Removable Plates. Rinse the cloth thoroughly and wipe again. If food still remains, apply cooking oil once more and let it sit for a few hours before scrubbing again.
• Thoroughly dry the Grill and Removable Plates before storing.

RECIPE GUIDE

MAPLE GLAZED TERIYAKI SALMON

Prep Time: 30–35 minutes
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
Serves: 3–4

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups soy sauce or tamari
• 2–4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2–3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
• Pinch of crushed red pepper
• 16–20 ounces salmon, about 3–4 fillets
• 2–3 cups rice, cooked according to package
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, to garnish
• Green onions, sliced, to garnish

Teriyaki Glaze:

• 1½ cups of reserved marinade
• ¼ cup water
• 1½ tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:

1. Begin by preparing the salmon marinade. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, water, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and pepper. Mix and transfer ½ cup of prepared marinade to a small saucepan to use for glaze later.
2. Place salmon into a shallow bowl, add remaining marinade, and coat evenly. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. Prepare rice according to package instructions.
3. Insert Grill Plates into the Flex Press Grill and recline the Grill so that it opens 180° for flattop grill cooking. Begin to preheat the Grill. Grease the cooking surfaces with a small amount of cooking oil.
4. On the stovetop, prepare the glaze by adding cornstarch and water to the marinade in the saucepan. Then bring it to medium-high heat. Once at a slow bubbling simmer, reduce to low heat, whisking constantly. Set aside.
5. Place salmon onto cooking surfaces, skin side down, two on each side of the Grill. Cook for about 4–5 minutes, flip over and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until desired doneness.
6. To serve, brush with the reserved teriyaki glaze and plate with rice. Garnish with green onions, extra sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper. Sweet, savory, and oh-so satisfying!
