West Bend Slow Cooker Grilling Instructions, Clean After Grilling, Place Food on Cold Grill Base

Just before using base as a grill, condition the non-stick finish with a teaspoon of cooking oil. Wipe oil evenly over finish, leaving a light film of oil. Do Not use shortening or butter to condition finish.

•Grilling Instructions

Follow recommended heat setting and cooking times for specific foods as listed in Grilling Chart later in this booklet. Always preheat grill for 5 minutes as recommended in chart. A small amount of butter or margarine may be used while grilling food to add flavor and aid in browning if desired. Always use plastic, rubber or wooden cook tools on non-stick finish to prevent scratching. Unplug cord from electric outlet to turn off base.

•Clean After Grilling

Always unplug cord from electric outlet and allow base to cool before cleaning. With a spoon or baster, remove any fat or grease that has collected on the grill surface. Wipe oil residue from base with paper toweling.

Wipe non-stick finish with a damp, soapy dishcloth or nylon scouring pad recommended for non-stick finishes such as Dobie®. Clean finish thoroughly. Wipe base several times with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue, then dry with a soft cloth.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse slow cooker base, its cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

If tacky oil film forms on non-stick finish of base, wipe with a dry cloth to remove. If this residue is not removed, it will adhere to the finish. When reheated and become impossible to remove.
