GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the
food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS:
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover
frequently while cooking.
• This grill generally accommodates 5 servings; do not overload
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes
before suggested time; if necessary, adjust timer using control button.
• If cooking more than one piece 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 before grilling or marinate foods before
cooking.
