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.

USING THE LOCKING HINGE POISITION

This feature keeps upper grill plate above food on lower grill plate.

1.This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food being grilled. This allows for even melting of cheese on top of hot cooked hamburgers.

2.If the grill is not hot, preheat grill following directions under PREHEATING THE GRILL.

3.Lift handle of the grill cover up and forward into the locking position of float

&lock hinge.

4.Lower the grill cover into the BROILING position above the food (J).

5.Allow food to cook for desired time.

6.For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than

J

one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the

 

thickness of each be about the same.

 

Care and Cleaning

This product 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 (see illustration D). 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.
