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.
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 wall 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. To remove the plates, press the release handles on both sides of the plates and
remove from the grill. The plates can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with
hot, soapy water; always dry plates thoroughly before reattaching.
Note: If washing the plates in a dishwasher, dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation
on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful.
4. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean.
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 hot, 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 while cleaning to prevent accidental
closing and injury.
STORAGE
Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
Please Note: To be sure your food is fully cooked, the USDA recommends the
following guidelines. Use a kitchen timer. Using a meat thermometer, test for
doneness by inserting the thermometer into the center of the food being cooked;
make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.
