IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Quick Start Tips
1. Remove grate and drip tray, clean both.
2. Make sure the drip tray is inserted all the way into bottom of grill and burner brackets are not
resting on it.
3. Cover bottom of drip tray with water. Re-install grate.
4. Plug the City Grill™directly into an outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Preheat grill for 5 to 9 minutes on high. Adjust heat setting for type of food.
6. Close lid and cook. Enjoy the best grilled food you have ever tasted!

HOW TO USE GRILL

5
1. Before using your grill, remove the cooking grate and drip tray from the grill. Wash the
grate with warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth. USE ONLY HIGH TEMP PLASTIC
UTENSILS WHEN GRILLING. Visit our web site to purchase a set of high quality stainless steel
high temp plastic grill utensils, www.cookwithkenyon.com.
2. Make sure the drip tray is inserted all the way into the bottom of grill and
electric element brackets are not resting on drip tray.
3. Cover the bottom of the drip tray with a liquid. Water is ne. PLEASE
DO NOT USE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID! Doing so
would ruin your cookout. Using apple juice if you are
grilling pork, adds a nice avor to the meat. A can of
lime soda is wonderful if you are grilling sh. Try any
kind of liquid that you enjoy drinking. Just remember always add liquid
to the drip tray prior to grilling.
4. To keep your grill smoke free, always clean the grilling
surface after each use. Simply wash with warm soapy water
using a non-abrasive cloth or place in your dishwasher. Empty
the drip tray and wipe with a damp paper towel. The drip tray
can be used multiple times before needing to be replaced.
5. Place your cooking grate or optional griddle (part #B96000) onto the element with drip tray
installed. Use the griddle for foods such as eggs, pancakes or my favorite - stuffed french toast!
6. Preheat grill for 5 to 9 minutes on high (8 bars). Adjust heat setting for type of food.
• Steak and hamburgers 8 bars - high heat
• Chicken, pork and sh 6 bars - medium high heat
• Vegetables 5 bars - medium heat
7. Close the lid and cook. Enjoy the best grilled food you have ever tasted!
8. Clean up. This is easy to do as you will soon learn. After the grill has cooled some, take a few
pieces of paper toweling and place on the grilling surface. Pour about one ounce of water on the
toweling and then using your high temp nylon tongs, swab the paper toweling back and forth to
loosen up the residue from your grilling. Throw the paper towel away and wipe the grate off with
a dry paper towel.
9. Once the grate has cooled sufciently, remove the grate and place in your dishwasher for a
thorough cleaning.
10. With the grate removed, lift up the electric element and remove the drip tray. Empty the
contents of the drip tray in an appropriate place, please don’t pour it on your neighbor’s lawn.
Wipe the tray out with a dry paper towel and reuse the tray. The tray can last for many uses.
11. After you have used your grill many times, you may want to wash the lid. The lid can be
placed in your dishwasher and run on the pots & pans cycle. This will restore your grill to its
original pristine look.

12. To clean the grill, rst be sure the cooking surface has cooled enough to handle. Then
remove the grate, lift up the electric element until it locks in the up position, then remove the drip
tray.
13. Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any residue from previous
grilling sessions.
14. Your Kenyon grill came with a sample bottle of stainless steel cleaner.
Use this cleaner once a month to keep your grill looking like new.
15. The knob for the heat control can be removed to clean underneath by
pulling up on the skirt of the knob. Do not pour water directly on the knob or
under the knob as this could possibly make its way into the control.
16. Do not submerge the grill in water or other liquid as this will cause an electrical short and
possible shock which may cause death to the user.
17. The knob on your grill is designed to t snugly into the rubber bushing thus preventing any
liquid from getting into the electric control housing. Periodically you should pull the knob off and
apply some light lubricant such as vaseline to the round plastic shaft of the control knob.

Stuffed French Toast
16 slices Thin Sliced Bread “any kind but not the white stuff”
1 lb. Cream Cheese (softened)
½ cup Peach Preserves (or your favorite)
4 T. Butter
French Toast Batter:
5 Large eggs thoroughly beaten
1 cup Milk
1 T. Cinnamon, ground
½ t. Allspice, ground
½ t. Coriander, ground
2 oz. Water (Dark Rum, Optional)
In a large bowl place the eggs and beat with a wire whisk. Add the milk and beat again
until incorporated. In a separate smaller bowl pour water or Rum (if you prefer) and add dry
ingredients, mix thoroughly. Once the dry ingredients have been mixed, add to the egg and milk
mixture and beat again until mixed. By doing this you avoid the clumps that come with making
batter.
Method of Preparation:
This will require the use of your griddle. Preheat your City Grill™on medium high heat (6 bars) for
approximately ten minutes.
Once the cream cheese has softened, mix with the peach preserves. Divide equally onto eight
slices of bread and spread evenly. Place the remaining eight slices on top to make a sandwich.
When your griddle has been preheated, add two tablespoons of butter and move around to coat
the griddle. Reserve the rest of the butter for the remaining pieces of French Toast. Take the
sandwich and dip into the mixture and ip it over to coat both sides of your bread.
Quickly do this to three more “sandwiches”. You will now have four pieces of stuffed French Toast
on your griddle.
Be careful not to burn. Flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until both sides are
browned nicely.
At this point you either serve with some nicely warmed maple syrup and butter, or you can keep
warm in a low oven until you nish the remaining pieces of French Toast.

Do not remove the GFCI device from the supplied power cord under any circumstance.
Electrical Requirements
Countertop Installation
Your City Grill™ is supplied with a factory installed polished stainless steel ange that accepts
four oval head wood screws for mounting. The trim ange of the grill is designed to hold the unit
rmly in place in the countertop. If desired, you may seal the edge of the countertop beneath the
trim ange. We recommend a NON-ADHESIVE such as acrylic latex caulk. This will help reduce
the chance of damage to the trim ange should the unit need to be removed from the countertop.
Should you need to remove the unit from the countertop after installation simple take a piece of
shing line and run back and forth under the trim ange to break the caulk bond.
WARNING:
Allow a 2 inch (2”) minimum clearance between the bottom of the grill and combustible
surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the grill (Fig. 7, page
12). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a re hazard.
Check the Electrical Supply Requirements
This product must be installed in accordance with national, state and local electric codes. The
following table provides the correct voltage, amperage and frequency that must be supplied to the
grill.
The supply must be from an individual grounded circuit that is protected by a circuit breaker and
rated per the specications for the model as shown in the table below.

Please read this section prior to making cutout for the grill.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the grill, keeping the
following dimensions in mind (please refer to Figure 6 below).
11
A- 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above oor
C - The minimum at countertop surface that the grill will
rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall
grill dimensions (refer to the page 8 for overall
grill dimensions).
D- 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the
grill and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4 inch thick ame retardant mill board covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch thick
stainless steel, 0.024 inch thick aluminum or 0.020 inch
thick copper.
E- 4 inches minimum from back splash of countertop to edge of
grill (refer to the page 8 for overall grill dimensions).
1-1/2 inches minimum from front of counter to grill.

Countertop Cutout DIMENSIONS

When making countertop cutout, radius the corner to help prevent cracking of the countertop
material. A 1/4 inch radius is typical, but follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the minimum radius and any reinforcements required to prevent damage to the
countertop over time.
If your countertop is made of solid surface material you will need to check with the manufacturer
for specic recommendations for cooktop & grill installation instructions. Most solid surface
countertop manufacturers require additional corner supports to prevent damage to the
countertop. Use the included screws to secure the grill to the countertop. Be careful not to
over-tighten the screws. Use an acrylic caulk to seal the ange to the countertop.
If your countertop is made of stone you will need to use an acrylic latex to mount the grill in place.
Put a large bead of caulk around the cutout opening and place the grill in place. Wipe away any
excess caulk, use water to remove the excess caulk. Allow the caulk to dry for a minimum of
24 hours without any moisture being allowed to come in contact with the caulk. Do not use the
screws that came with your grill. The caulk will hold the grill securely. Do not use a caulk which
contains silicone as this will stain the stone.
WARNING:
To eliminate the risk of burns from reaching over heated grill, cabinet storage space
located above the grill should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see that the grill will clear the
front and side walls of the base cabinet. Also check for proper clearance to the back splash so
that the lid can open fully.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the grill. Heat transferred from the grill bottom pan during operation will overheat an
improperly ventilated area.

For your convenience, the grill is equipped with a 1/8” NPT brass pipe
tting and 90º brass elbow which you can attach the 1/4” ID exible
hose that came with your grill. The portable version of the grill comes
with a brass pipe plug installed in the drain tting. If you are using your
grill as a portable unit, save the hose and 90º brass tting for possible
installation in the future.
Be sure the electrical outlet intended for the grill is in an easily
accessible location. This allows the user to easily plug and unplug
the grill. This is necessary to ensure safe cleaning and storage of
the grill.
Remove the protective plastic lm from the lid, trim ange and glass panel. Clean the grill
before you use it for the rst time. A thorough cleaning with a stainless steel or glass cleaner will
remove any traces of plastic lm adhesives and manufacturing oils.
Wash the nonstick coated grates in warm soapy water before using the grill.

OPERATION OF GRILL
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Smother re or ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch
the grate or element of the grill. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN GRILL GRATE OR GRIDDLE
If the grate should break, grease and oils may come into direct contact with the electric element and
create a risk of electric shock or re. Contact an authorized service center or KENYON Customer
Care immediately at [phone].
CLEAN GRILL WITH CAUTION
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read the cleaner label for
details prior to using.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENT OR GRATE
The heating element and grate will be hot for some time after cooking. These components should be
allowed to cool and then be handled with care and caution while cleaning, as they may be hot enough
to cause severe burns.
CLEAN GRILL AFTER EACH USE
This appliance is equipped with a removable, disposable drip pan. This pan MUST be removed and
cleaned after each and EVERY use. Do not allow grease to accumulate between cooking. The grease
pan and bafe tray MUST be used when cooking on the grill. Excessive grease may spill over into the
interior of the grill, voiding your warranty and posing a re hazard.
NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED AT HIGH HEAT SETTINGS
High heat setting may cause heavy smoking and ignite grease.
DO NOT CLEAN UNIT WITH PRESSURIZED WATER
Never clean the grill with any form of pressurized water or other types of cleaners. Doing so will void
the warranty and may pose a serious risk of electric shock. Always clean the grill with a cloth and a
stainless steel or glass surface cleaner.
STORAGE
When used as a portable grill, store indoors or away from weather when not in use. When used as a
built-in grill, suitable shelter must be provided to prevent direct exposure to rain.
TO PREVENT SMOKE
To prevent the contents of the grease pan from smoking, place 1 cup of water (or enough to cover the
bottom of the pan) in the grease pan before cooking.
