7. When the food has finished cooking, carefully open the grill lid
and remove the food items using a wooden or heatproof plastic
spatula. Never use sharp, metal utensils (i.e. forks, knives, or metal
spatulas) as they may result in electrical shock or scratch the non-
stick grill surface.
8. To turn off the unit, disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
9. Be sure to wait until the grill and the contents of the removable
Drip Tray have completely cooled before removing the removable
Drip Tmy.
• Marinate meats before grilling for extra flavor and
tenderness, if desired. Marinades with sugar will cause meats
to brown more quickly. Marinate foods for at least an hour,
overnight, or even longer depending on the intensity of flavor
desired.
• Before grilling, it is recommended that ribs, chicken still
on the bone, and uncooked, cooked. or fresh sausages be
partially cooked before grilling to produce the best results.
Ifnot partially cooked before grilling, these meats may becorr.~
over-browned on the outside before the center is done.
If the food to be grilled is not marinated, we recommend
spraying a light eoat of vegetable oil onto the non-stick grill
plate for best results.
• If desired, brush meats with barbecue sauce or other sauces
during the last 3-5 minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
• Cooking times will he the same no matter how much is on
the grill. The starting temperature of the food will affect its
cooking time (e.g., food directiy from the refrigerator will take
longer to cook than food at room temperature).
• For best results, allow refrigerated food to warm to room
temperature (approx. 30 minutes) before cooking.
• Cooking times may vary due to differences in meat size,
thickness, and individual tastes. To ensure the meat is cooked
thoroughly, use a meat the~orr.eter to check the temperature
before serving.
