HELPFUL HINTS

?After they have cooled, be sure to always wash the grill plates and empty the drip tray after each use to remove any residue that may have accumulated.

?Do not use sharp objects or attempt to cut food while it is on the grill plates. This may damage the non-stick

surface.

?Always preheat the grill before using. Have all of your ingredients in place and ready to cook before starting.

?Do not use metal utensils to place or remove food from the grill as this may damage the non-stick surface. Use high-temperature resistant plastic or wooden utensils. Do not lay utensils on the hot surface of the grill. Do not allow utensils to remain on the hot grill plate surface for an extended period of time.

?When making kabobs, use wooden skewers and soak them in water for 20 minutes prior to using. This will keep the skewers from scorching or burning.
