HOW TO USE YOUR GREAT BIG GRILL
Always ensure food is cooked completely throughout its thickness. Frozen food must be completely defrosted and at
room temperature before cooking.

Place the Great Big Grill on a dry, stable surface away from open flame or hot burners. This appliance requires
1400 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit. Plug the grill into a 120 volt outlet only.
?
Preheat the grill. Your grill will not properly preheat unless it is closed. Check first to be sure nothing is inside
the grill before preheating. Preheating before each use will ensure even cooking of your food.

When you plug the unit into the socket, the indicator light will turn on, indicating that the heating elements are
warming up.
?
The indicator light will turn off in approximately 5 minutes. The grill is now ready for cooking. The indicator
light will go on and off periodically as the operating temperature is maintained.
?
A thin coating of cooking oil applied by brush or spray may be used for grilling lean meats, vegetables or fish.
Grilling marinated food or meat with any amount of fat will not require oil.
?
When the grill is preheated, carefully lift the lid to open, place the food on the bottom surface of the grill and
close the lid.

Allow the food to cook for the minimum time indicated on the Grilling Chart. Check for doneness. If not done
grilling to your desired result, continue cooking. Periodically check the progress of cooking until it is done to
your satisfaction.
