important safeguards ∙ 5
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Refrain from using attachments
that are not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer, as this
may result in re, electric shock,
or personal injury.
• Be cautious when moving an
appliance containing hot oils or
other hot liquids.
• This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge unless
they are provided with supervision
and instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Do not operate the Flavor Grill with
a wall timer.
• Only use the appliance on a stable,
dry surface.
• Allow Flavor Grill to cool completely
before assembling, disassembling,
moving, cleaning, or storing.
• Improper use of the Flavor Grill can
result in property damage or even in
personal injury.
• Do not let the cord hang over edge
of table, hang over the sink, or touch
hot surfaces.
• This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will t in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not
completely t in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
• A short power supply cord is to
be provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used
if care is exercised in its use. If an
extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should
be a grounding 3-wire cord. The
extension 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 unintentionally.

USING YOUR FLAVOR GRILL
Before rst use, remove all packaging material and clean your Flavor Grill by wiping the
Cooking Surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.
Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into
a power outlet. The Red Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that
the Flavor Grill is heating up.
Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking
temperature, the Green Indicator Light will also turn on. Now,
you’re ready to get cooking!
Carefully lift the Cover by the Handle so that it is in the upright
position.
Place food on the Cooking Surface and close the Lid. The Lid will
adjust to the height of the food on the Grill for even cooking. As
the food cooks, any excess fats and liquids will drain through the
Drip Outlets and into the Removable Drip Trays. If cooking a large
quantity of meat, empty the Removable Drip Trays frequently to
prevent overow.
Once the food is cooked to your preference (see Grilling Chart on
page 9 for cooking time guidelines), carefully remove it from the
Cooking Surface with a heat-resistant nylon or silicone cooking
utensil. Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the
Cooking Surface as this may damage the DuraRock™ Cooking
Surface. When you have nished cooking, unplug your Flavor Grill
and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning.

USING YOUR FLAVOR GRILL
Using your Flavor Channel: If desired, pour water, broth, wine, or the avoring
of your choice into the Flavor Channel surrounding the lower Cooking Surface. While
grilling, the liquid in this channel will evaporate to keep your food moist and avorful.

MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your appliance and allow it to cool completely before moving, cleaning,
or storing. Do not submerge appliance in water or any other liquids. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Flavor Grill.
In order to keep your Flavor Grill in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the
appliance after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.
• Unplug Flavor Grill and allow it to cool completely.
• Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surfaces and Cover.
Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.
• To clean the Flavor Channel, remove any excess liquid from Channel with a paper
towel and then wipe with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse out the cloth and wipe again.
• Wipe the outside of the Flavor Grill with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure to wipe the
area under the Self Adjusting Hinge on the outside of the Flavor Grill.
• Wash Removable Drip Trays in warm, soapy water.
• Thoroughly dry Flavor Grill and all accessories before storing.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage
the Flavor Grill and its DuraRock™ Cooking Surface.
For more persistent stains or burns, try the following cleaning method:
Once the appliance has cooled, place paper towels over the stained area and soak with
white wine vinegar. Allow to soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove paper towels and gently
wipe the surface with a damp cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING
While Dash products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the problems
listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions recommended below
or not included on this page, please contact our Customer Support Team at
1-800-898-6970 or [e-mail].
1. The Green Indicator Light on the Flavor Grill keeps shutting off.
• This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will
automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the
Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When this occurs, the green
Indicator Light turns on and off.
2. How do I know when the Flavor Grill is heated and ready to use?
• When the Grill reaches the optimal temperature, the Green Indicator Light will
illuminate and that means you’re ready to get cooking!
3. There is no On/Off Button. How do I turn the Flavor Grill off and on?
• To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When you’re done cooking, turn
off the Flavor Grill by unplugging it.
4. When using my Flavor Grill, the Cover gets hot. Is this normal?
• Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Grill, always lift and lower the
Cover by the Handle. To prevent personal injury, DO NOT lift the Cover so that
your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury. Lift from
the side.
5. After using my Flavor Grill a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What
is happening?
• There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface.
This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Reference page 10 for
cleaning instructions.
6. The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to heat.
• Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
• Check to make sure the power outlet is operating correctly.
• Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment, or building.
