Abstract
A grill machine includes a grill mechanism, a temperature control device and a mode switching device. The grill mechanism includes a lower grill unit, and an upper grill unit that is pivotally connected to the lower grill unit and that is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The temperature control device is switchable between a first heating mode and a second heating mode. The mode switching device includes an actuating unit that is mounted to the lower grill unit. When the upper grill unit is pivoted to the open position, the upper grill unit downwardly presses the actuating unit to switch the temperature control device from the first heating mode to the second heating mode.
