  6. Place the Grill Plate in the Instant Indoor Grill.
  7. Select the Grill function, press Level 5, press Time, and set the time to 14-16 Minutes, then press Start.
  8. Place the pork carefully once the Grill displays the Add Food sign, then close the lid.
  9. Once the Grill displays the Turn Food sign, open the lid, and flick the pork, then close the lid and continue to cooking.
