For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always
read the instruction manual before using.
COOKING FORWARD™
Welcome!
Whether this is your rst Chefman®appliance or you’re already part of our family,
we’re happy to be cooking with you! With your new Smokeless Indoor Grill, you
can bring all the avor of grilling indoors (even into apartments) via one virtually
smokeless unit. The heavy-duty grill plate is excellent at absorbing and retaining
heat, so it gives your food the same charred grill marks you’d get from an outdoor
grill. The closed environment from the lid cooks everything to juicy perfection. And
the integrated probe thermometer lets you cook your food to the perfect doneness.
We know you’re excited to get grilling, but please take a few minutes to read
our directions, safety instructions, and warranty information.
From our kitchen to yours,
The Chefman®Team

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your grill for the rst time.
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts.
2. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are accounted for.
3. Read and remove any stickers on the unit except for the rating label on the bottom,
which should remain on the unit.
4. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
5. Wash the lid, grill plate, and drip tray with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO SET UP THE GRILL FOR COOKING
1. Set the unit on a rm, heat-resistant surface with at least 2 inches of clearance on the
sides and 3 inches of clearance in the back.
2. Set the water tray in the unit base and ll with 1 cup of water. Set the drip tray over
the water tray. Place the heating element on the unit over the drip tray. Place the grill
plate over the heating element.
3. Plug the power cord into the unit base, then plug the other end into a 120-volt outlet.
All buttons will briey illuminate, then the grill will switch to standby mode, with the
GRILL TEMP button illuminated in blue and the default temperature of 400˚F set.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO COOK IN MANUAL MODE
The directions below are for cooking without the probe; if you would rather grill to a specic
internal temperature, see How to Cook Using the Probe Thermometer on page 12.
1. Ensure the probe thermometer is not plugged into its jack.
2. With the unit in standby mode, press the + or – buttons to adjust the grill temperature
from 250˚F to 450˚F (120˚C to 230˚C) in increments of 5˚F/2˚C. (Press and hold
both the + and – buttons at the same time to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.)
3. Press the TIME button, then use the + or - buttons to adjust the time from 1 to
60 minutes in increments of 1 minute.
4. Put the lid on. Press START/STOP. This will begin the unit’s automatic preheat.
(Pre will illuminate in red under the temperature display.) As the unit heats, the
temperature display will give a live reading of the unit’s temperature.
5. When the preheat is done, the unit will beep, and Pre will turn off. Place food on
the grill plate and close the lid. The timer will begin counting down. NOTE: Though
cooking with the lid on isn’t required, it’s recommended because it' maintains the grill
temperature, further reduces smoke, and reduces splattering.
6. When the timer is halfway done, the unit will beep, and Flip will display on the panel.
Flip foods as needed.
7. Pressing the START/STOP button during cooking will stop the heating and return to
Standby Mode.
8. When time is up, the unit will beep, and End will display on the panel. Carefully
remove the food. Check for doneness and enjoy. Most cuts of meat, poultry, and sh
are best when they rest for a few minutes before serving.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO COOK USING THE PROBE THERMOMETER
Unlike an instant-read thermometer, the probe thermometer stays in your food through
the entire cooking cycle, constantly monitoring the temperature until it reaches the target.
If using the probe, follow these instructions to program the unit.
1. Insert the probe horizontally into the thickest part of your food (see drawings below.)
Be sure the tip of the thermometer isn’t touching bone. If you’re cooking multiple
pieces (for instance, several chicken breasts), put the probe in the largest one.
RJ23-SG-PL-CA_UG_FINAL_OTP_123021_AM.indd 12RJ23-SG-PL-CA_UG_FINAL_OTP_123021_AM.indd 12 12/29/21 8:47 PM12/29/21 8:47 PM

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO COOK USING THE PROBE THERMOMETER
2. With the unit in Standby mode, plug the other end of the thermometer into
the thermometer jack on the unit. Probe Temp will light up in blue.
3. Use the + and – buttons to set your desired target internal temperature for the food,
from 125˚F to 165˚F. (Press and hold both the + and – buttons at the same time to
toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.) Alternatively, you can select one of the
preset function buttons: CHICKEN, MEAT, or FISH. The unit will automatically set
the cooking temperature and the target internal temperature. If you’re cooking meat,
you can specify your preferred doneness: Rare, Medium, or Well.
4. Press the GRILL TEMP button, then use the + and – buttons to adjust the grill
temperature from 250˚F to 450˚F in increments of 5˚F. NOTE: You must select
the grill temperature even if you’re using a preset.
5. Put the lid on. NOTE: the lid can close over the probe’s wire, but make sure it is not
closing on the probe itself.
6. Press START/STOP. This will begin the unit’s automatic preheat. (Pre will illuminate
in red under the temperature display.) As the unit heats, the temperature display will
give a live reading of the unit’s temperature.
7. When the preheat is done, the unit will beep, and Pre will turn off. Place the food in the
unit and close the lid. (Though using the lid isn’t required, it’s recommended because
it maintains the grill temperature, further reduces smoke, and reduces splattering.)
NOTE: Though you can close the lid over the probe cord, be sure not
to close the lid on the actual probe.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. During cooking, the temperature display will alternate between a live reading
of the current temperature of your food and the current temperature of your grill.
NOTE: If the probe comes unplugged from the jack during cooking, it will beep until
plugged back in.
2. When the internal temperature is halfway to the target temperature, the unit will beep,
and Flip will display on the panel. Flip foods as needed.
3. When the target internal temperature is reached, the unit will beep, and End will
display on the panel. Carefully remove the food.
4. Let your food rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. After resting, carefully slide
the probe out of the food—the probe will be hot—and enjoy.

PRESET FUNCTION CHART
The below chart indicates target temperatures for the preset functions. Because the temp-
erature continues to increase for several minutes after the food is removed from the grill,
note that the “pull” temperature (when the unit will beep and tell you it’s done) is lower than
the nal target temperature.
FOOD – DONENESS PROBE "PULL" TEMPERATURE FINAL TARGET TEMPERATURE
Meat – Rare 115°F 46°C 125°F 52°C
Meat – Medium 130°F 54°C 140°F 60°C

COOKING TIPS
1. Preheating not only the unit but also the grill plate is essential to getting the great
grill marks that are a hallmark of grilled food. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food
after preheating as the interior of the grill will be hot.
2. Don’t overcrowd the grill plate. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can inhibit
browning. A better bet: Cook food in batches.
3. Use silicone or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surfaces.
4. Follow food-safety guidelines for doneness. Because grill temperatures and food
sizes can vary, do not rely on recipe timing only when cooking food. Check foods
for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Let the unit cool completely before cleaning. Detach the power cord and probe
cord from the unit if they are not already removed.
2. Remove the grill plate, heating element, drip pan, and water tray, and empty the
water.
3. The lid, grill plate, and water tray are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, they can
be hand-washed with mild detergent, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
4. Wash the drip tray and probe by hand with mild detergent. Do not immerse
the probe cord and plug in water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. The unit base can be wiped down with a damp cloth as needed.
6. Reassemble the unit before storing. Wind the probe cord around the cord
winder to prevent kinks, and store the winder on the left side of the unit with
its magnet.
