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 heatproof 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.

Care and Cleaning

This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

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 the On/Off (I/O) switch is pressed or the appliance 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. To clean grill plates, wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or paper towel.

4.Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

5.Reinstall grill plates, making sure they are securely attached to grill body.

Note: Removable grill plates are also dishwasher safe. Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful and can be wiped off with

a damp towel. After washing grill plates in a dishwasher, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration.

6.To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or non-metallic 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 non-metallic scrubbing pads.

7.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.

8.Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent accidental closing and injury.
