In order to protect the plates of your new grill during transportation, a layer of food-safe wax
was coated on the surface prior to shipment. This wax is harmless, but must be removed before
you begin to use. To remove, preheat the grill until the wax liquefi es. Next, carefully wipe away
the melted wax with a clean, soft cloth. Once all of the wax is removed you can begin to use your
grill.
TO USE
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriately rated outlet.
2. The power light will illuminate.
3. Once desired temperature is set, the Heating Indicator will come on. Warm-up time is
approximately 7-8 minutes. The Heating indicator will cycle at set temperature.
4. For normal use, it is recommended that the temperature range be 392°F-482°F.
5. When the surface reaches the designated temperature, lift top grill using black handle and
lightly grease grill plates with vegetable oil. Place food on grill and lightly press handle down.
Excess oil will collect in the oil collection tray. Remove food when cooked. The heaters will
automatically cycle as needed.
