Grilling tips:
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill; it will hold 2 to 6 servings comfortably.
• 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 silicone, 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.
1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.
Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off
before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
Important: heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off switch is pressed
or the appliance is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration D). 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. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
5. 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.
6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet 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.
