Using Your Fli Grill
Before First Use:
Atte tio
As an additional safety measure, the heating plate will only function
when properly docked to the plastic base. The temperature probe must
align with the slotted cradle as shown in the illustration below. If not prop-
erly aligned, the heating plate will not turn on.

Using Your Fli Grill
1. Place the base on a sturdy, level surface.
2. Place the heating plate onto the base, grill side up.
3. Insert the temperature probe into the side of the heating plate, making sure that
it is properly attached and sitting squarely on the base.
4. Plug the temperature probe into an electrical outlet.
5. It is recommended to have all ingredients prepared before heating up the grid-
dle, as it heats up quickly. Turn the temperature dial to the desired position (from
1 to 10). For best results, allow the grill a few minutes to heat up before beginning
to cook.
6. When the grill is hot, place food on the grill surface and cook as desired. DO
OT use metal utensils as they may damage the nonstick finish.
7. When finished cooking, turn the temperature dial to “OFF” and immediately un-
plug the temperature probe from the wall outlet.

How To Clean
Always unplug unit and allow to cool completely
before cleaning.
1. Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Unplug the temperature probe from the wall outlet. Remove the temperature
probe from the grill/griddle plate. DO OT immerse cord or plug in water or
any other liquid.
3. To clean the temperature probe, wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry com-
pletely.
4. The base, heating plate, stainless steel tray and individual Raclette trays may
be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. Otherwise, wash in warm soapy
water using a soft cloth.
5. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the non-
stick coating and create a risk of electric shock.
6. Rinse and dry completely before next use.
Note:
To make cleaning a little easier, try either of these methods:
- Aluminum foil may be used to line the plastic base. This will collect the fats
and therefore make disposal very easy.
- When lining the base of the Flip Grill, it is important not to allow aluminum foil
to hang over the sides of the base, as this will prevent proper air circulation.
To Use as a Warming Tray:
7. Serve as desired. Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick
coating.
8. When not in use, turn the temperature dial to “OFF” and immediately unplug
the temperature probe from the wall outlet.

Hel ful Hints
1. Please remember that the Flip Grill heating plate is coated with a nonstick sur-
face and that heat-safe plastic utensils should always be used.
2. If you’re grilling vegetables, fish or lean meat, it’s best to spray the grilling sur-
face with a cooking spray. If you are grilling meat with any amount of fat or if
the food has been marinated, there is no need to pre-treat the grill.
3. For best results, allow the grill/griddle plate to preheat for 5-7 minutes before
grilling.
4. If using a marinade with oil, place grill near an exhaust hood. Oil or fats will
produce some smoke.
5. Do not leave the grill on to “burn off” any food or drippings remaining on the
grill surface after cooking. In addition to causing unnecessary smoke this can
reduce the life of the nonstick coating and may present a fire hazard.
Problem Solution
The temperature probe
appears to turn on and off
during cooking.
- When the thermostat reaches the desired temperature, it will
temporarily shut off to avoid overheating. This is normal. It
will turn back on as needed to prevent the temperature
from dropping below the selected setting.
- Double check that the grill/griddle plate has not become
dislodged from the base. If the heating plate and temper-
ature probe are not properly situated on the base, the built-
in safety switch will automatically cut power to the heating
element. Allow to cool, then check the alignment of the
parts. Operation will resume normally when all pieces are
properly assembled.
My Raclette cheese is not
melting.
It is best to allow the cheese to melt a few minutes under the
heated grill before cooking other foods, as Raclette cheese
takes a while to melt. Also, a higher setting (8-10) is needed
when making Raclette.
Also, removing trays from beneath the heating plate and
placing them on the heated griddle for 30-40 seconds will
help to speed up the melting process.
Should I use the stainless
steel tray when I’m not
making Raclette?
Yes, it is best to use the Flip Grill with the stainless steel tray in
place at all times.
