Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007123521A1] A grill (20) includes a lower platen assembly (22) having a lower grilling surface and a pivotally attached upper platen assembly (24) having an upper grilling surface. The upper platen assembly includes three motors (46a,46b,46c) encased in a shell (44). A cable (58a,58b,58c) attached to each motor suspends the upper grilling surface. The grill (20) is automatically calibrated to ensure that the upper grilling surface is level. Each motor independently and sequentially raises the upper grilling surface from the lower grilling surface. When the upper grilling surface lifts from the lower grilling surface, the current in the motor changes. The settings of each motor at this instant are stored in a control to determine the calibration point when the upper grilling surface is level. The grill (20) also automatically recognizes a food item placed on the lower grilling surface to determine the cooking parameters of the grill.
