HELPFUL TIPS
Smoking
If the unit begins to smoke during cooking, it may be due to grease build up. In order to
reduce smoking, make sure that you clean the Cooking Plate and Door Plates between uses.
Cooking Tips
• For best results, make sure bacon does not overlap and strips
are evenly spaced. Bacon will shrink when cooked.
• Unit is recommended for use with regular-cut and store-bought thick-cut bacon.

• Depending on the type of bacon, if bacon is too long and touching the Door
Plates, the ends of the bacon may need to be trimmed in order to t onto the
Cooking Plate. Use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the ends of the bacon.
• For certain types of bacon, some may be benecial to ip the
bacon during the last 1-3 minutes of cooking.
