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 tough the grilling plate). If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.These foods can be grilled on the grilling plates or on the shallow baking pan.

GRILLING TIPS:

To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the Lid frequently.

Do not overfill the appliance; it will hold approximately 4 servings comfortably.

When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before suggested time; if necessary adjust the cooking time.

If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.

Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will probably 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.

Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

Important: Heating elements will continue to be ON until grill is unplugged.

2.Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration E). 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.

Note: Removable grill plates are also dishwasher-safe. If washing grill plates in a dishwasher, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration. Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful and can be wiped off with a damp towel.

6.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.

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 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.
