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.
Important: heat continues to be ON until grill 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. 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.

• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
