Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
CLEANING
. 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) button is
pressed or the appliance is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill
(see illustration D)
. Use plastic spatula to scrape
off any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the
drip tray. Wipe plates dry with a paper towel or sponge to avoid grease dripping onto
your counter when plates are removed.
3. Remove plates as instructed in HOW TO USE
(see illustrations B and C)
. To clean grill
plates, wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
5. Reinstall grill plates
(see illustrations B and C
), making sure they are securely
attached to grill body.
Note:
Removable grill plates are also dishwasher-safe. If washing grill 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
STORAGE
• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
