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: heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off (I/O) switch is
pressed or the appliance is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill. 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, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to
prevent discoloration. Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of
grill plate. This is not harmful and can be wiped off with a damp towel.
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.
