SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & CHEF’S GRILLING MANUAL
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
™
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill. The Lynx Downtown Electric Grill uses the most advanced electric grill technology available. The combined cooking/searing element uses robust, energy
effi cient, proprietary fi lm technology to replace the
traditional wire heating elements used in competitive
electric grills. A specially formulated, resistive heating fi lm
which is applied directly to the underside of the grilling surface, results in quicker warm up, uniform temperature
profi les and enhanced effi ciency.
The Lynx Downtown Electric Grill is certifi ed to meet the
requirements of both CSA 22.2 No. 64-10 and UL 1026. The grill must be powered in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, shall comply with the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) in the US, and the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) in Canada.
Please read these instructions carefully, understand them and follow these instructions before using the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill. Retain this manual for future reference. Failure to comply with these safety instructions may cause injury or property damage and will void the manufacturers warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
The following are common sense basic safety precautions that must be followed when using the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill: Carefully read all of these instructions before using the grill. Save these instructions for future
reference.
1. Read and follow all instructions.
2. Do not grill in the open rain or while standing in water. As with any electrical appliance, there is always an elec­trical shock hazard if used improperly.
3. To protect against possible electric shock don’t im­merse the cord, plug or grill in water or other liquids.
4. Unplug the grill from the power outlet when not in use and before cleaning or servicing. Turn OFF all grill con­trols before unplugging the grill from the power outlet.
5. Allow the grill to fully cool before cleaning, servicing or transporting. Do not attempt to move or carry a hot grill. If the drip tray needs to be emptied during grill­ing, use extreme care as the drip tray and its contents are very hot. Use appropriate barbeque gloves or oven mitts and support both ends of the drip tray to prevent spilling.
6. Do not operate the grill with a damaged power cord or plug.
7. If the grill should malfunction or if it has been damaged in any way, do not operate it until after it has been ex­amined, adjusted or repaired by an authorized service provider.
8. Be careful with the electrical power cord. Do not let it come in contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges. Do not let it hang over sharp tabletop or counter edges.
9. Do not use the grill for any applications for which the grill is not designed. Do not attempt to use any solid fuels such as charcoal or wood chips with the grill.
10. Do not use any attachments with the grill other than those approved by the manufacturer.
11. Do not plug the grill into an ungrounded outlet. Use only with a three-pronged grounded outlet with GFI protection.
13. The grill does not have an internal fuse or surge protec­tor. It is protected by the breaker in the electric power circuit and the GFI in the circuit breaker or in the power outlet. Although a dedicated circuit for the grill would be desirable, if other appliances are on the same power circuit they will need to be powered off while grilling.
14. Maintain close and vigilant supervision when grilling in the presence of children. Do not leave children unat­tended while grilling.
15. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
16. Always grill in an area free and clear from combustible materials and vapors. Maintain ample clearances as
detailed on the specifi cation page.
17. Always use the grill on a fl at level surface such as a wood, Formica or metal table top. Do not block the space between the bottom of the grill and the table top with any foreign objects that could reduce or re-
strict air fl ow. The grill must be used on a level surface
to enable unrestricted drainage of cooking oils and fats into the drip tray.
18. When grilling outdoors on a deck or patio, ensure
that there is suffi cient air circulation to remove smoke
and vapors. When grilling indoors ensure that there is ample natural or forced exhaust to remove cooking odors and smoke.
19. Do not place the grill on or near a hot gas or electric burner or on a heated oven because of the danger of
fi re and severe damage to the Lynx Downtown Grill.
20. The grill lid is removable with quick disconnect hinges enabling the grill to be placed in the center of a bal­cony table and accessed from all sides while grilling. It is important to keep the grill lid in place on its hinges when grilling greasy foods. This will allow the lid to be
closed quickly in the event of a grease fi re. DO NOT
REMOVE THE COVER WHILE HOT.
12. Do not use an extension cord with this grill. Use only the existing power cord. The grill is supplied with a 6 foot long 12 gauge power cord.

21. Save these instructions.
WARNING
Before grilling on the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill be sure you have read and understand the Safety Instructions and Electrical requirement in this manual.
The control panel is shown on the right. The panel has an ON/OFF push button, a rotary temperature control, a digital temperature indicator and an indicator for °F/°C.
The power button is pressed to turn on the grill. This illuminates the button as well as the temperature indicator.
The temperature control knob is used to set the temperature of the grill. The temperature can be adjusted between 170°F and 700°F (80°C and 370°C). The temperature control is turned clockwise to raise the temperature and counter-clockwise to lower the temperature.
The temperature shown on the display panel is in degrees Fahrenheit (ºF). A selector switch is placed under the grill to toggle between °F and °C. The switch on the underside is located opposite the temperature display.
The Lynx Downtown Electric Grill uses an internal cutoff switch as a safety feature. It prevents the grill from over­heating in the event of an unforeseen circumstance by cutting off the power before any damage can occur. The switch resets automatically once the grill has cooled.

CAUTION
Never attempt to move or carry a hot grill. Whenever possible allow the grill to fully cool before cleaning grease from the drip tray. If the drip tray needs to be emptied during grilling, use extreme care as the tray and its contents will be very hot. Use appropriate barbeque gloves or oven mitts and support both ends of the drip tray from below to prevent spilling.
Remove and clean the drip tray after every use of the grill. The drip tray may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The drip tray is designed to collect grease and cooking residue from the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill and is shown
above. When the grill is operated on a fl at, level surface,
grease and cooking residue will drain forward in the cooking surface channels and get deposited in the drip tray. The drip tray is removed for emptying by sliding it to the right and pulling out of the grill assembly.
The drip tray has a 2 cup capacity. It is important to monitor
the drip tray level while cooking to avoid overfl ow conditions
which may occur during long grilling operations.
THE REMOVABLE LID
The lid on the grill is removable using quick action disconnect hinge pins.
Removing the lid allows the grill to be accessed from all sides for family style cooking.
To remove the lid, open the lid fully. Pull the quick disconnect hinge pins in toward the center, and lift the lid off.
CAUTION: Do Not remove the lid while hot.
CAUTION
It is important to keep the lid in place on its hinges when grilling greasy foods. This ensures that the lid
can be closed quickly should there be a fl are-up or grease fi re. Even when doing special grilling with
the lid removed you should keep the lid in a readily accessible location so it can be quickly dropped in
place should there be a need to extinguish a fl are-up.
The top surface of the lid will become very hot during cooking operations while the lid is attached. This is normal. Use care when opening or closing a hot lid. Use appropriate barbeque gloves or oven mitts when handling the hot lid.

Now that you have read and understood all of the safety cautions and electrical requirements and have familiarized yourself with the controls and special attributes of the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill, it is time to power up the grill. Please follow these important steps:
1. Check for and remove any tape or packing material that may have been left over from packing and shipping.
2. Set the grill on a level surface leaving ample clearance on all sides and back of the grill. Leave adequate space above the grill to allow the lid to be opened easily.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded three-wire outlet provided with GFI protection.
4. Press the power switch ON and check that the indicator lights and temperature indicator is illuminated.
5. Turn the temperature knob to the full ON position by turning it clockwise to the maximum setting.
6. Leave the grill ON for 30 minutes with the lid open to burn off any residual oils from the manufacturing process.
7. Check that the grill continues to maintain the temperature set point.
You are now ready to grill your fi rst meal on the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill
If you are a grilling afi cionado you will immediately recognize the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill heating technology makes
this the best electric grill on the market and the only grill for outdoor balcony use that can truly compete with backyard
gas fi red grills. If you are a novice griller, then follow along.
Most electric grills do not provide adequate surface temperatures to enable searing. As a result, they require extended cooking times normally resulting in overdone and tasteless results.

Pre-heat the grill to 700ºF (370°C) for searing steaks. For quicker heat-up time you can close the lid until the grill reaches the cooking temperature. Once reached, you are ready to grill with the lid open.
Bacon is very nice on this grill as it lays across the grates and is suspended above the surface, keeping it out of its own grease. When cooking bacon, keep a close eye on the drip tray levels.
• The steak will stick to the grates initially, once it ‘releases’, rotate the steaks 90 degrees.
• Once moisture appears on the surface it is ready to be fl ipped.
• Depending on your personal preference, seasoning
may be applied to your steaks before, during, or when grilling is completed.
In windy conditions shelter the grill from the prevailing breeze.
Avoid cooking with the lid down, it captures moisture and slows down the cooking process.
When cooking boneless chicken breasts consider
butterfl ying the meat. This allows the center to cook
quicker and retain the juiciness of the meat.
Since the temperature can be held at a steady level the grill is good for slow cooking. Baby back ribs can be slow cooked with the lid down for several hours. Once the meat is ready to fall off the bones, increase the temperature to
500ºF (260°C) to fi nish off the ribs and give them a nice
color. Apply sauces at this time.
You can cook sliced potatoes, grill mushrooms or peppers
on the grill. In some cases, you may want to fi rst cook
these items with the lid down and then lift the lid and raise
the temperature to ‘fi nish them off’.
A grill stone works well for cleaning the grates. Rubbing it back and forth will cause the stone to take on the contour of the grates. After several uses, the grill stone will accumulate grease and become smooth - simply put it under water and the abrasiveness will return.
The actual cooking styles that you select will depend on your preferences and the results that you obtain
through simple experimentation. You will fi nd that the fi lm
heater technology used in the Lynx Downtown Electric Grill makes it much more versatile than typical electric grills and enables you to produce a tastier meal. Since the temperature display indicates the actual uniform temperature of the grilling surface, it is possible to quickly sear the outside of a food product to seal in its juices, reduce the grilling temperature, then cook to your desired level of ‘doneness’.
Some foods are easier to grill with the lid open, while others should be cooked with the lid closed. Don’t leave the grill unattended while cooking with the lid open in
case of a fl are-up.
Normally, food should be conditioned at room temperature for several hours before grilling. Taking a food product directly from the refrigerator to the grill may not produce your desired results.

When it appears ready, fl ake off a piece to check that it is
Vegetable Dishes
Condition the steak to room temperature before grilling by removing from the refrigerator no more than I hour before cooking. Insert fresh garlic cloves as desired. Season with pepper, salt, and steak spice (if desired).
Set the grill on HI 500°F (260°C) to 550°F (290°C), Place steak on grill to sear one side for 1 ½ to 3 minutes, until you have sear marks on the steak. (Check for sear marks by raising one corner of the meat with tongs and looking at the underside).
Once you achieve sear marks turn the steak over for a similar period watching for sear marks. Steak is ready for
fl ipping when it ‘releases’ from the grate.
Check the internal temperature with a digital thermometer using the guidelines below. Continue to cook until you reach your desired level of doneness.
For Medium Well and Well Done steaks, once you have the sear marks reduce grill temperature to MED. and continue to monitor internal temperatures until they reach the desired level.
Turn the steak over every two minutes or so to prevent the surfaces from overcooking.
Rare: 120 – 130°F 49 – 54°C Bright purple-red, warm, tender, juicy
Medium: 135 – 145°F 57 – 63°C Rich pink, yielding, slightly juicy
Medium Well: 145 – 155°F 63 – 68°C Tan with slight pink, fi rm, slightly fi brous, some juice
Well Done: 155 plus°F 68°C plus Tan to brown, no pink, chewy, little juice
Once you remove the meat from the grill allow it to rest for about 5 minutes and bear in mind it will continue to cook and gain an additional 5°F internal temperature. Resting the meat ensures it will retain its juices when it is sliced.
Serve with freshly grated ginger and soy sauce.
