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 outlet and allow to cool.
Important: heat will continue to be ON until the appliance is unplugged.
. 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.
. Use a warm, soapy sponge to wipe plates clean, then rinse sponge and wipe
again to remove any soapy residue. Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper
towel.
. 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.
. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper
towel or cloth.
6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, damp sponge and dry with a soft,
dry cloth.
Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.
7. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be
preformed by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover while cleaning to prevent accidental
closing and injury.
STORAGE
• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• For best results, do not overload the grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes
before suggested time; if necessary adjust the 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 or marinate foods before grilling.
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.
