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
5 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.
