IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is
properly exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only. As a
safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will only t in a polarized outlet
one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not t, contact a quali ed electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
How to Use
Before using for the rst time, become familiar with the Grilln-Lite™ Indoor Electric Grill, Fig. A. Wash Grill and drip pan
according to “Care and Cleaning” instructions, page 2.
1. Set Grill on a at, dry countertop.
2. Insert drip pan. Note: Each handle assembly has a built-in drip
pan guide (Fig. B) which holds the drip pan (Fig. C) in its proper
position. These guides are located below the grilling surface. To
insert the drip pan, position it so it is resting on both drip pan
guides, and slide the drip pan under the Grill. When the notches
under the drip pan rim meet with the ridges on the drip pan guide,
the drip pan will drop into the correct location. Always insert or
remove the drip pan from the side closest to you.

Never operate Grill without the drip pan in place as doing so
could damage the countertop.
3. Insert the Control Master® heat control into the Grill so the two
electrical pins on the Grill are fully inserted into the heat control.
4. Plug cord into a polarized outlet, and turn Control Master
heat control to proper temperature (see page 2 for cooking
temperatures). Preheat Grill for 10 minutes. The recommended
setting for most grilling is 400°. The light on the control will
remain on at that setting. At the other recommended and “keep
warm” settings, the light usually will cycle on and off. Cycling at
lower temperatures is normal.
5.Prepare food, place food on Grill, and cook according to grilling
time chart (page 2) or recipe (pages 3-5).
Drip Pan
NOTE: This Grill features a DiamondCoat® deluxe nonstick
nish for stick-free cooking. To help protect this special
surface, use nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Using metal
utensils or cutting foods on the cooking surface may damage
the nonstick nish.

Helpful Hints
Grilling Time Chart
Food Setting* Approximate Grilling Time
(total in minutes)
• The closed grilling area (see page 1, Fig. A) is ideal for grilling
small foods, such as sliced mushrooms which may fall through
the open-grate grilling area.
• When grilling, the temperature of the grates may be increased or
decreased by adjusting the Control Master® heat control.
• Preheat Grill for 10 minutes for best results.
• Before grilling, trim meat of excess fat to prevent smoking.
• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour before
using to prevent burning.
• Use plastic tongs or spatulas for turning meat, poultry, and sh.
Forks can pierce meat, allowing avorful juices to escape.
• Marinate or rub lean meat, poultry, and sh with a small amount
of vegetable oil to enhance avors, retain moisture, and prevent
sticking on the Grill.
• Plastic, resealable bags work well for marinating. Place
marinade ingredients, meat, sh, or poultry in bag, seal, mix
well, and put in refrigerator for several hours or according to
recipe instructions.
• To speed the cooking time of larger cuts of meat or poultry, tent
the Grill with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Prevent the transfer of bacteria by using separate plates for raw
and cooked meat, sh, and poultry.
