Care and Cleaning
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
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 will continue to be ON until the appliance 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.
3. To remove the plates, press the release handles on both sides of the plates and
remove from the grill. The plates can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with
hot, soapy water; always dry plates thoroughly before reattaching.
Note: If washing the 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.
4. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean.
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.
5. Empty drip tray and wash in hot, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel or
cloth.
6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, damp sponge and dry with a soft, dry
cloth.
Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.
7. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be
preformed by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover while cleaning to prevent accidental
closing and injury.
STORAGE

SOLUTION
Always use silicone, heatproof
plastic or wooden utensils
to avoid scratching nonstick
surface of grill plates. Never
use metal spatulas, skewers,
tongs, forks or knives.
This is normal. The light
comes on when the grill is
plugged in and off once the
set temperature is reached.
However, it will cycle on
and off to indicate the
correct temperature is being
maintained.
Always preheat grill at least 8
minutes before cooking any
foods.
Use nylon scrubbing pad and
hot, soapy water to clean grill
plates. Do not use steel wool
scrubbing pads or abrasive
cleaners to clean grill.
Since grill is cooking from both
sides, food is cooked much
faster than in a skillet or under
a broiler. Use SUGGESTED
GRILLING CHART as a guide
and check food at lowest time
stated on chart.
Check to be sure appliance is
plugged into working outlet.
Dry grill plates immediately
after washing.
