PRIOR TO FIRST USE

CAUTION: To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling the unit.

The Big Boss Grill™ Deluxe can be used in two different positions:

Closed-cover position – Cooks the food on the top and bottom at the same time.

Open-cover position – Cooks the food on the bottom only. Food may need to be turned.

Carefully unpack and remove all packaging and materials. Wipe the unit with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never immerse unit in water. Wash all plates with warm, soapy water.

Before cooking food for the first time, operate the appliance without food in order to burn off residue on the plates. You may notice slight odor and/or smoke coming off the plates (first use only). This is normal and will go away in a few minutes.
