CARE AND CLEANING
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: heat continues to be ON until grill is unplugged.
2. 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.
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. 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, 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.
8. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be
preformed by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent
accidental closing and injury.
STORAGE
• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the
following guidelines. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness by inserting
the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the
thermometer is not touching the bone.

GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover
frequently while cooking.
• Do not overfill grill.
• 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.
