Tips
• For best results, always preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes to make sure the grill is
hot. This will help to seal in all the natural juices.
• If using wooden or bamboo skewers when cooking kebobs, it is highly recommended to soak
the skewers in water for 10 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from scorching or burning
during the grilling process.
Cleaning & Care
CAUTION: Always unplug from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
Do not immerse the temperature control plug in water or any other liquid. This may cause an
electrical shortage and bodily harm. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool to
clean the surface. It may damage the coating.
1. Turn the Control Knob to the "0" position. Make sure the power cord is unplugged. Let the unit
cool completely.
2. Remove the Temperature Control Plug from the unit. Do not wash the plug or place in a

3. Use paper towels to wipe off any excess grease or residue left on the grill or griddle plates. You
may use wooden or plastic spatula to scrape off any remaining food residue. Lift and remove the
grill or griddle plates from the black base. Wipe the surface clean under warm running water with
sort cloth. You may also place it in the dishwasher.
4. Lift and empty the drip tray. Wipe the extra grease with paper towels. Wash the drip tray in warm,

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Smoke during grilling
Grilling fatty foods:
When grilling fatty meats or any other food with
fatty ingredients, you will notice some smoke
emitting from the food. Some splashing may occur.
Once it hits the heating element, it will burn,
therefore producing smoke.
Solution 1: Fill Drip Tray with Water
To help reduce smoke, put a small amount of
water to cover the low surface of the drip tray (1/2
cup and not more).
Solution 2: Ventilate
To help get rid of smoke, place the grill near a
ventilation hood.
Solution 3: Clean Drip Tray
When you are grilling multiple batches or cooking
with excess oil, some of the food may remain on
the surface of the grill or fall inside the drip tray.
Make sure to wipe the surface of the grill and clean
the drip tray often.
CAUTION: Grill plate and drip tray will be hot.
Let cool off before cleaning.
Solution 4: Modify Food Preparation
If you use marinades for your meats and
vegetables prior to grilling, reduce the amount of
oil you use to avoid burning and smoke. The grill
surface is non-stick and does not require a lot of
oil.
Food keeps falling through the spaces between
the grill bars.
Solution 1: Cut Ingredients in Larger Pieces
To prevent food from falling into the drip tray
during cooking, do not place small pieces of food
on the surface of the grill. If pieces fall through,
turn off the grill and let it cool off. CAUTION: Grill
plate and drip tray will be hot. Let cool off
before cleaning. Lift the grill plate and remove the
food pieces.
User Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorised service
representative.
