GRILLING TIPS
For best results, preheated the cooking plate before grilling.
Tender slices of meat are generally more suitable for grilling. Somewhat
tougher meat will become tender if it has been marinated overnight.
To prevent scratching the cooking surface when turning over the food,
always use a plastic or wooden spatula. Fish and meat should be turned
only once if possible. Repeated turning is unnecessary and dries out the
food being cooked. Never cut foods on the plate surface.
If cooking vegetables, fish, or lean meat, spray the cooking surface with
a cooking spray or a light coating of vegetable oil.
If cooking meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marina-
ted, there is no need to treat the grill.
Never cook meat too long otherwise it becomes tight.
If the food being cooked sticks to the cooking plate, wipe down the co-
oking plate from time to time with a paper towel dipped in oil.
NOTE
The first time you use the Grill it may have a slight odor and may smoke
a bit. This is normal and common to appliances with nonstick surfaces.
A plastic cleaning spatula can be used for cleaning the grilling plate and
frying plate after you have finished cooking and the unit has cooled down
completely (at least 30minutes). Using the cleaning tool on a hot surface
for too long will cause the plastic to melt.
Switching the unit off
Turn the temperature connector to “off” when cooking is completed.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and allow to cool before cle-
aning or removing any part.
Hold the unit by the handles when turning it over.
Cooking times
Cooking time will vary on the temperature of the grill, the surrounding air,
and the food itself.
The food to be cooked should always be at room temperature.
Never put frozen food directly onto the cooking time as necessary. Turn
frequently for more even cooking.
