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.
•Do not overfill grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.
•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.
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: Heating elements will continue 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. 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.
