USEFUL TIPS
• Choose meat of uniform thickness and high quality.
• When using the unit for an extended period of time, refill drip
tray to a level between the min. and max. lines.
• Meat is best grilled at room temperature or it may toughen
after cooking.
cLEANING AND MAINTENANcE
• Caution: Empty water tray before moving the appliance.
•
before cleaning the appliance, always unplug from the
outlet and allow it to cool.
• The grill should be cleaned each time you use it to avoid
smoke and unpleasant smells the next time it heats up. Clean
the grill plate with a plastic scrub brush or damp cloth.
• To empty the drip tray, first remove the grill plate. Then
carefully remove tray from main body and dispose of water.
• The main body can be cleaned with a sponge and non-
abrasive cleanser.
• The drip tray and splashguard are dishwasher safe.
• The heating element and the heating element support should
be cleaned with a damp sponge and a little non-abrasive
cleanser only.
• The heating element, power cable, and control panel must
never be immersed in water or washed in a dishwasher.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
• Overtime, if your grill plate begins to rust, re-season the grill
plate surface.
• Begin by removing rust from the surface using Scotch-Brite ® *
scouring pads.
• To season, apply a thin, even coating of melted solid vegetable
shortening (or cooking oil of your choice) to the grill plate. Heat
the grill to high and let it sit for 5 minutes. Turn off and let it
cool. This should restore the surface.
• To avoid overheating and smoke, fill drip tray with clean water
between the min. and max. fill lines.
