following:
1.
2.
3.
READ ALL INSTRUCTiONS.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, power controller, or heat
element in water or other liquid.
4.
5.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts.
6.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of
accesory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang aver edge of table or-counter, or touch hot surfaces
IO, Do not place on
Or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11.
Extreme ‘caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot-oil or other-
hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug’to appliance first then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, first
remove plug from
wall outlet, or, if using a Variable temperature control, turn control to “off”,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
Household use only.
14. A grill that is plugged into an outlet should not be
left unattended.
15. Fuels such as charcoal briquettes are not
to be used with this appliance.
16. Do not cover grill with any metal, such as aluminiumfoil or pot cover, as this will cause
excessive heat build-up.

PLEASE NOTE: A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power
supply cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; (2) if the appliance is of the grounding type,
the extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Your new Electric Indoor Grill is an indoor open air
broiler that, coupled with creative marinading and basting, brings great outdoor barbecue flavor
indoors. With its specially designed reflective drip pan and bowl, you get fat-free cooking, no mess,
virtually no smoke, easy clean-up and great taste in one great
product.This grill is simple to use. In
less than five minutes it can be set up and ready to cook.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR NEW GRILL: Unpack the grill. Wash the
GRIFFOTM porcelain
coated grid (or wire grate) before using for the first time to remove any factory oil. Set base on a
counter near an outlet. Set the aluminum drip pan next to the base. Inset-t the support rod into
holes on the sides of the drip pan.
0 Place heating element in the drip pan, resting the extended
portion on the support bar and slipping the element bracket into the notch cut in one side of the drip
pan as shown.
@ Tilting the opposite end of the drip pan, insert the bracket end into the window
on the side of the base and position drip pan in base. The drip pan and element will lock into place.
@ Plug the electric cord (or the variable temperature control) into the cooking element. @ Place
the
GRIFFOTM porcelain coated grid (or wire grate) on top of the base and you’re ready to grill.

COOKING ON YOUR ELECTRIC INDOOR GRILL: Plug the cord into a 115-volt wall outlet (no
other heating appliances should be plugged into the same circuit while cooking with the grill).
The grill will start heating immediately and be hot enough for broiling in 2-3 minutes. In general,
turn foods only once. If cooking only one or two items, place them squarely over the element
towards the center of the grill. Cooking times are approximately the same as an indoor electric
oven broiler (but the electric use is only 50% as much). When juices start to rise and appear on
the surface of the meat or seafood being cooked, it is time to turn the food. During broiling, the
hot cooking element may give off an occasional puff of smoke if drops of fat or sauce hit it
directly. However, the grill will cook all but the fattiest foods with no smoke. The base stays
relatively cool. The drip pan shields the drippings from the heat. The drippings rest in the
bottom of the base. After each use, or when grilling more than one batch of food, disconnect
the power and empty the grease from the base and pan when cool enough to handle.
For easier cleaning of the parts later, lightly spray the grid, and drip pan with
Pam@ or other
vegetable oil spray before grilling.
If it should be necessary to move the grill, grasp the handles and gently lift the grill. Do not slide
the base across the counter as it may scratch the surface.
CLEANING UP: Remove the plug from the outlet. When grill is cool, unplug the element and
wipe any grease from it with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE COOKING
ELEMENT OR CORDSET IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Empty the grease which has
collected in the grill base or in the drip pan. The base, grid, drip pan, and support bar can be
washed in the sink or dishwasher. Clean after each use.
Ceramic base (some models only)
The ceramic base of your indoor grill was baked naturally in
a kiln. Each ceramic base is different from the next in its
glaze color and surface texture. The hand-crafted nature of
the clay shaping procedure can result in slight imperfections
and narrow openings (fissures) on the inside of the base.
These distinguishing characteristics are typical and do not
affect the structure or operation of the product. The ceramic
base is dishwasher safe.

Nu-Stone base (some models only) Nu-Stone is a new
high heat-resistant thermal polyester. It is half the weight of its
ceramic counterpart, and is also more durable. Nu-Stone with-
stands temperatures over 400” F and still stays cool to the
touch. The Nu-Stone base is dishwasher safe.
Heating element The Heating element’s unique shape provides
better heat distribution over the entire grid. This prevents cold
spots in the corners so you can grill more food at one time, and
at a faster, more efficient rate. After grilling, just wipe the
ele-
ment clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
One piece drip pan The one piece drip pan quickly moves
grease away from the heating element for virtually smokeless
grilling. The drip pan and the stabilizer bar are dishwasher safe.
Adjustable temperature control (some models only)
Your new Electric Indoor Grill is equipped with the finest
infinitely adjustable thermostat control available for an
indoor grill. The marked heat settings range from “LOW’
(approximately
175” F) to “MED” (approximately 300” F) to
“HIGH” (approximately 400” F). At all settings other than
“HIGH” the heat control will cause the power to cycle on and
off at varying rates. The lower the setting, the longer the “OFF”
phase of the cycle. The “ON” indicator light tells you the
grillis functioning. It goes out during the “OFF” phase of the
cycle or when turned to “OFF”.
GRIF FOTM Porcelain Coated Grid (some Models only) The
GRIFFOTM porcelain coated grid is specially designed to grill
delicate food like fish and vegetables, preventing them from
falling apart. It grills food faster and sears in the juices. The
grid is dishwasher safe.

Now you can enjoy great barbecued food all year around. Here aresome tips for healthier,
safe cooking and perfect results every time:
V Use lean cuts of meat, trim off fat. V Avoid using
fatty foods. V Cut meat, poultry, and fish into smaller portions for quick and easy grilling. V Use
fish and shellfish or chicken lightly brushed with oil or seasonings. V To add a hickory or out-
door grilled flavor to your food, simply brush liquid smoke over your food just before serving.
You can find
liquid smoke next to the barbecue sauce in your local grocery store.
Any of the foods you would normally broil on an outdoor grill or in a range broiler can be done on
your new Electric Indoor Grill. Here are some suggested foods and cooking times, based on the
food being at refrigerated temperatures. Remember to preheat your grill for 2-3 minutes.
