RILL
• Always use grill on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any
edge. Never use grill without drip pan in base. Do not use grill unless
securely positioned in base.
1. Place drip pan into base. Fill drip pan with water to maximum water level line,
about 3 cups.
2. Position grill onto base with handles in recessed areas of base. Grill may be
positioned with control to left or right end of base. Plug heat control into the grill.
3. With the heat control set to “OFF” position, plug
cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only.
4. Preheat grill, uncovered, at recommended
setting for food being cooked. Refer to grilling
chart in this manual or on handle for selecting
the heat setting and grilling times.
5. When signal light on heat control goes out
indicating grilling temperature has been reached, add the food. If desired, cover
may be placed on grill to shorten cooking time and help contain spatters. Heat
may be increased or decreased, depending on personal preference and type or
amount of food being prepared. The signal light will go on and off periodically to
indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.
6. Use hot pads when handling grill and cover as handles become warm. For
turning food, nylon, plastic or wooden cooking tools are recommended for use
on the non-stick surface. Do not use sharp edged cooking tools or knives.
7. When grilling is completed, set heat control at “WARM” for serving, or set dial at
“OFF” if food will be removed immediately from grill. After dial is set at “OFF”,
unplug cord from wall outlet. Let grill cool completely before removing heat
control.
8. Unplug cord from electric outlet after use and allow the electric grill to cool
completely before cleaning.
• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
