GRILLING TIPS
• For best results, preheat the cooking plate before grilling.
• Tender slices of meat are generally more suitable for
grilling. Somewhat tougher meat will become tender if it
has been marinated overnight.
• To prevent scratching the cooking surface when turning
over the food, always use plastic or wood spatula. Never cut
foods on the plate surface.
• If cooking vegetables, sh, or lean meat, spray the cooking
surface with a cooking spray or a light coating of vegetable
oil. If cooking meat with any amount of fat, or if the food
has been marinated, there is no need to treat the grill.
• Never cook meat too long.
• If the food being cooked sticks to the cooking plate, wipe
down the cooking plate from time to time with a paper
towel dipped in oil.
Please note:
• The rst time you use the Grill; it may have a slight odor and
may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appliances
with nonstick surfaces.
• A plastic cleaning spatula can be used for cleaning the
grilling plate after you have nished cooking and the unit
has cooled down completely (at least 30 minutes). Using
the cleaning tool on a hot surface for too long will cause
the plastic to melt.
• The appliance inlet must be carefully dried before the
appliance is used again.
