Care and Cleaning
w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before
cleaning. Do not immerse cord or plug in water or any liquid.
1. Unplug grill from outlet and allow to cool. Carefully dispose of
any grease and any remaining water.
2. Wash the grill plate and base in hot, soapy water. Use a nylon
or plastic scouring pad and a nonabrasive liquid cleanser. Do
not use metal scouring pads. Rinse and let dry.
3. DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the
dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your
product.
Grilling Guidelines
• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking
time will vary based on the temperature of the grill plate, the
surrounding air, and the food itself. Watch food carefully while
grilling and adjust the cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for
extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). The acids in foods
can react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use
glass, ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.
• Meat Safety Tip: To reduce the risk of spoiling, store meat in the
refrigerator until you're ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate
meat at room temperature, especially in warm climates.
• Food Safety Tip: Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce
on cooked foods. The leftover marinade must first be boiled for
one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw food that was
marinated.
• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use of oil, certain foods will
stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before
turning on your grill, brush or spray the grill plates lightly with oil
or nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated grill
plate—this is dangerous.)
• Always read all safety information.
