PREHEATING THE GRILL

• Allow grill to preheat until green ready indicator light illuminates.
• Using a pot holder, carefully open the preheated grill.
Note:
Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on grill plates. Chemicals can build
up on surface of grill plates and reduce their efficiency.

• Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time. (See COOKING GUIDE.)
• When finished cooking, unplug the appliance to cool.

• Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry
the drip tray after each use. Drip tray is dishwasher safe on top rack.
USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT
This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness
of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or
piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.
COOKING GUIDE
The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will
depend on the thickness of the food. To be sure your food is cooked, USDA
recommends using a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Insert the meat
thermometer into the thickest part of the meat until the temperature stabilizes.
