CARE AND CLEANING
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: heat continues to be ON until grill is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill. Use plastic spatula to scrape off any excess
fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray.
3. Use a warm, soapy sponge to wipe plates clean, then rinse sponge and wipe
again to remove any soapy residue. Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper
towel.
4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper
towel.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the
following guidelines. Using a meat thermometer cook test for doneness by
inserting the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and
make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone.

GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes
before suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces 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.
Important: Use only silicone, plastic and wooden utensils when cooking on the
grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt
with the high temperature.
