A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with
care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the
electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such
that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the
bottom panel of the unit.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature

Before Your First Use

The grill/griddle is designed for indoor use only. Carefully unpack the grill and
remove all packaging materials. To remove any dust that may have accumulated
during packaging, wipe the cooking surface and base with a clean, damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the grill.

Warning: Do not immerse the cord or plug in water or other liquid. Do not use
metal scouring pads on any part of the appliance.

Place the grill on a dry, stable surface away from an open flame or hot burners.
This appliance requires 1800 watts and should be the only appliance operating
on the circuit. Plug the grill into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.

Before using, condition the nonstick surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
with a soft cloth or folded paper towel over the entire grill and griddle cooking
surfaces. Assemble grill and set temperature to 250°. When the grill has reached
250°, turn off and cool completely. The grill is now ready to use.

Using Your Electric Grill/ Griddle

Place the appliance on a flat, level surface, such as a countertop or table. Place
the cooking surface onto the base with either the grill or griddle surface up,
according to your recipe.

Insert power point into the power point holder on the grill/griddle plate. Plug the
cord into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.

When the grill/griddle is on, the red READY light will come on. This light is in the
shape of an arrow, located on the power point. When the light goes out, the grill or
griddle surface is preheated to the selected temperature. This light will cycle on
and off during cooking, indicating that the surface temperature is being maintained.

Important: Your grill/griddle comes with a patented safety feature which will not
allow you to plug the temperature probe in unless the drip pan is properly in
place. Never Try To Defeat This Feature.

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the cord from the outlet. Remove the power
point from the cooking surface. If necessary, wipe the cord with a damp cloth.

Caution: Do not immerse the cord in water or other liquid.

Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.The cooking plate and

base can be placed in the bottom rack of the dishwasher, or washed by hand.
The drip tray should be hand washed only in warm soapy water. Dry the drip pan
completety when finished.Do not put hot cooking surface in cold water.

Be sure to always wash both the grill and griddle surfaces after each use to
remove any grease that may have accumulated.

Do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on either the cooking surface or base.
If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush or plastic scrubbing pad.

Do not let the cooking surface or base soak overnight. This could damage the
nonstick coating.

Grilling Tips

1 The nonstick cooking surface is metal utensil safe. However care should be

taken when using metal utensils with this product. Only use the enclosed
scaper to clean the griddle

2 Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate

utensils and platters for raw and cooked meat or wash platter used for raw
meat before placing cooked meat on it.

3 Use a long-handled brush for basting foods during grilling.

4 Tender meat cuts, such as sirloin and tenderloin, are generally more suitable

for grilling than less-tender meat cuts, such as round or rump.

5 Many less-tender meat cuts can be grilled, but they benefit from the tender-

izing effects of marinating in an acid-based wet marinade.

6 A marinade is a seasoned mixture (wet or dry) in which foods are soaked in

order to absorb flavor and/or become more tender. The flavor grows stronger
the longer the marinade is left on the food before cooking. The amount of
time usually ranges from 1 hour to 24 hours.

A wet marinade usually consists of oil (vegetable or olive) to give moisture, an
acid (lemon juice, vinegar, wine, tomatoes or yogurt) to tenderize, and
flavorings (herbs and spices) to enhance or add flavor.

A dry marinade, or spice rub, is a mixture of herbs, spices and salt that is
rubbed onto the food after the food has been lightly brushed with vegetable
oil. Generally, use 1 to 2 tablespoons dry marinade per pound of meat.

7 Always marinate in a tightly covered nonmetal dish, and turn the food

occasionally. Be sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating. Heavy plastic
bags are also convenient for marinating – add the food and marinade, then
tightly seal the bag. Turn the bag now and then to redistribute the marinade.

8 If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be

sure to place it in a small pan and heat it to a rolling boil before serving to
eliminate any bacterial growth.

9 Grease from high fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter on

countertop. Protect countertop as necessary.

10 When grilling fish, use a large flat spatula or turner to turn the fish.
