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.

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.
