GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently.
• For best results, do not overload the grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary adjust the 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 or marinate foods before grilling.
Important: Use only silicone, 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.
USING ThE BUN WARMER
Tip: Use this feature to warm various kinds of bread products
(hamburger buns, breakfast biscuits, English muffins, tortillas,
pita bread, sliced bagels and mini croissants).
Important: The bun warmer should be used to warm bread
products only. It will not cook or grill any item. It is not
intended for defrosting. The bun warmer cannot hold very
thick bread products. If a bread product is too thick, you
may have to cut it (butterfly) to fit (C).
To use the bun warmer:
1. Lift up the lid latch.
2. Place the bread product inside the bun warmer.
3. When bread is in place, close the lid by lifting up on the latch, lowering the lid, and
latching it into place. NEVER FORCE THE LID CLOSED. Press gently to close lid.
4. Allow 2 – 3 minutes after the grill has warmed up to complete heating. If you are
placing bread products in the bun warmer that have been refrigerated, they will
take longer to warm up.
Caution: The bun warmer does not have a separate operation switch. If you want
to warm some bread, but do not want to cook anything on the grill, please be
aware that the grill will be on and will become very hot.
Warning: Do not keep cooked food (such as meat,
vegetables, potatoes, etc.) warm in the bun warmer!
Note: The bun warmer cover is specially designed for easy use.
The lid is removable; you can take it off for cleaning. To remove
the cover, raise the cover to an angle of 50 degrees by lifting
the cover at the two hinge connections (D).
Care and Cleaning
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
CLEANING
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from outlet and allow to cool.
Important: heat will continue to be ON until the appliance is unplugged.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon 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.
5. 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.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover while cleaning to prevent accidental
closing and injury.
STORAGE
Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
GRILLING FRUITS AND vEGETABLES
The following times 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 touch the grill plates.)
If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
