General Operating Instructions

Tips

  • Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for raw and cooked meat.
  • Always marinade in a tightly covered nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
  • If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate bacterial growth.
  • Similar to a stovetop frying pan, grease from high-fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter on the countertop. Protect the countertop as necessary
  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal meat temperature.
  • Cooking times are suggested and will vary depending on the thickness of the food
  • Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs, and uncooked smoked or fresh sausages for best results. If not partially cooked, these meats may become overblown on the outside before the center is done.
  • To prevent scratching the coating, use only nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the grill plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives, that can scratch the cooking surface
  • Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.

  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal meat temperature.
  • Cooking times are suggested and will vary depending on the thickness of the food and personal preferences. Foods can be grilled at maximum temperature. However, you may wish to reduce the temperature for certain items. Low temperatures will keep foods warm once cooked.

Troubleshooting

If your Unit is not working properly:

  • Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into an electrical socket.
  • Make sure the Power Cord is properly connected to the Heating Element.
  • Make sure you have set the temperature higher than 120° F.
  • The Unit may not be able to draw enough operating power from the outlet. Try switching the Power Cord to an outlet that has no other appliances attached to it.
  • If food is undercooked or overcooked, change the cooking time and temperature accordingly.
  • If the Electric Fan is not working, the assembly may not be fully connected. Disassemble the unit and reattach the Fan component. Follow instructions on page 8.

Care & Cleaning

  • Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the cord from the outlet. If necessary, wipe the cord with a damp cloth.
  • Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. The Grill Plate, Drip Tray, Collection Pan, and Glass Lid can be placed in the bottom rack of the dishwasher or washed by hand. The Base Unit can be washed by hand with a warm, damp cloth and mild cleaning liquid. For a more thorough cleaning of the Base Unit, remove the Electric Fan.
  • Always be sure to wash the Grill surface after each use to remove any grease that may have accumulated. To keep grease from dripping outside of the base, always ensure that you are using your Grill on a level surface and that the Drip Tray is completely clear of food particles.
