GENERAL OPERATION
1. Always use on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Be sure the grease cups are
in place below the drain holes on the grill surface. CAUTION: Do not block the
airflow under the griddle. Plug cord into a 120-volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
The grill will beep one time, for one second when plugged in. The grill is in
standby mode, the LCD display is blank, and no indicator lights are illuminated.
2. Select the desired temperature setting: “WARM,” “LOW,” “MEDIUM,” “High,” or
“Sear.” The selected indicator light will illuminate. Note: The temperature
selection may be changed at any time by pressing the desired temperature
setting however the appliance may need to preheat or cool down to attain the
newly selected temperature.
3. Program the desired cooking time by pressing the “Arrow Down” or “Arrow Up”
buttons. The cooking time can be set from 01 to 99 minutes. The set cook time
will be visible in the LCD display. When set, the timer will begin to count down
automatically in one minute increments. Note: If a cook time is not selected
the appliance will remain at the selected temperature for 99 minutes and the
LCD screen will display “- -.“ After 99 minutes the appliance will automatically
turn off.
4. When the appliance reaches the selected temperature, the ready indicator light
will illuminate and the appliance will beep 3 times indicating the appliance is
ready for cooking. Place the food on the grill.
Note: Foods may be prepared with or without fats. When frying, the use of a
small amount of butter, fat, or oil will improve the flavor, color, and crispness of
foods. When frying fatty foods such as bacon or sausage, excess grease will
drain into the grease cups through the drain hole located on the surface of the
griddle. Do not remove the grease cups during cooking.
Note: Nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use
on the non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with
care. Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives or food
choppers as scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the
appearance of the finish and will not harm its non-stick property.
5. When the selected cooking time has expired the LCD display will show “00” and
the appliance will beep 5 times. After one-minute the appliance will turn off (all
indicator lights will be off).
Note: If additional cooking time is needed, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Note: You can turn the appliance off at any time by pressing the illuminated
temperature setting button. The indicator light will go out and the appliance will
be off.
6. Disconnect the cord from the wall outlet. Let the appliance cool completely
before removing the cooking plates and grease cups.
7. Clean your appliance after each use by following the directions in the “Cleaning
Your Versagrill
™
” section.
