The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill
of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food
needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• Do not overfill the appliance; it will hold 2 to 3 servings comfortably.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary, adjust the cooking time.
• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will probably be
77ºC
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.

• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.

CLEANING
1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.
Important: heating elements will continue to be ON until the power ( ) button is pressed
or the appliance is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration D). 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. Using the plate release handles, remove plates from your grill. 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 (see illustrations B and C), 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.
