GRILLING FRUITS AND vEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to tough the grilling plate.) If the
food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
GRILLING TIPS:
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
Important: Use only heatproof plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the grill.
Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the high
temperature.

Care and Cleaning
CLEANING
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.
Important: heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off switch is pressed or
the appliance is unplugged.
. Place drip tray under front of grill. Use plastic spatula to scrape off any excess fat and
food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray.
. Use a warm, soapy sponge to wipe plates clean, then rinse sponge and wipe again to
remove any soapy residue. Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel.
. To remove stubborn buildup, use a plastic or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the
grill plates.
Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to
clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.
. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel or
cloth.
6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, damp sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.
7. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be preformed
by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent
accidental closing and injury.
