IMPORTANT: Micowave Oven Wattage

Similar to conventional cooking, the “Wattage” of your microwave might

be compared to the “Height” of the ame. The higher the wattage the

hotter the cooking environment ... “wattage” determines the time needed to complete the process. Therefore, it is critical to determine the wattage of your microwave oven. Most microwaves have a label or small plate that states the wattage. Your microwave’s instruction manual should also list the wattage. You may also contact the manufacturer or retailer for this information. Our recipes have been written for an 1100 Watt microwave oven. Please adjust your “cook times” accordingly (see chart page 7). Your Microwave must have a revolving turntable

and the interior must measure 14” wide x 14” deep x 7 3/4” high.

E. Base Unit

Contains microwave

activated heat element.

After reviewing all the information in this Owner’s Manual, you’ll be ready to try some of the quick and easy recipes that will familiarize you with the “set up” and operation of the Microwave Grill.

Remember, for health reasons, great care should be taken to make certain that all food is cooked properly.

Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured with a food thermometer before removing food from the heat source. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook food to higher temperatures.

Before rst use ...

• Before making the rst meal in your Microwave Grill, be sure to wash all pans with warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge to assure clean, safe cooking.

• For quick searing, preheat your Base Unit with the Grill Press Lid 2.5

minutes in your microwave.

• When using cooking oil or butter for avoring your foods, use half the

amount suggested for a regular recipe.

• Always let meats rest after cooking as per chart on page 5 before serving

to retain all the avors and juices.

• When grilling, do not turn the food repeatedly. Let the foods sit on the pan surface to sear. Remove and lift a corner to determine if it is grilled to your

liking. This will help seal all the natural juice and avors on the inside.

Always...

• Always allow your Microwave Grill to cool completely before cleaning. Use a damp cloth and wipe dry.

• Always use plastic or wooden utensils when cooking on any nonstick surface to prevent scratching.

Never...

• Never clean any part of your Microwave Grill with abrasive or metal scouring pads.

• Never submerge your Base Unit or Grill Press Lid into water.

• Never use metal utensils on your Microwave Grill.

• Never use if protective coatings are scratched, damaged or missing.

• Before storing, allow 60 minutes for cooling.

Stand Up Lid

THE LID IS HOT– DO NOT PLACE GRILL SIDE DOWN ON THE COUNTER. It will ruin coun-

ter surfaces. Handles on the Grill Press Lid should be used to stand it as shown here, preventing dripping or heat damage to counter top surfaces.

Care & Cleaning

Before handling the Microwave Grill allow the unit to cool down thoroughly. Only the Support Ring is “top shelf” dishwasher safe. Clean all other components as described below.

Base Unit, Grill Press Lid and Steam Tray

• Place the cooking surface of the Base Unit, Grill Press Lid or Steam Tray under a slow stream of warm running water. Scrub gently with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and mild detergent to remove all food residue.

• The ridged base of the Grill Press Lid, the Base Unit, and Steam Tray

may require extra care to remove any particles that might collect between

the ridges.

• Never use abrasive scouring pads as they will harm the coating.

• While the Microwave Grill is made of extremely durable materials, avoid

rough handling to prevent scratching of ceramic or non-stick cooking surfaces.

• Dry thoroughly and store assembled to save space.

Silicone Baking/Mufn Insert

• Although the silicone bakeware is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand.

• Wash with warm water, nonabrasive soap, and a nonmetallic sponge or cloth.

• Do not use baking soda, detergents, or other harsh soaps or solutions.

• In order to retain proper shape, position silicone bakeware upside down in stacks of two during storage. Do not over stack.

• We recommend submerging silicone bakeware in warm, soapy water immediately after use. Let soak before removing any remaining debris. Rinse and allow to dry completely. Wipe again before storage if necessary. Avoid oily cooking sprays to prevent buildup.

NOTE: Never submerge the Base Unit or Grill Press Lid in water as holes

may ll and ruin the heat element
