3. Close the Grill and plug into a 120 volt A.C. outlet. NOTE: The Timer does
not have to be used to operate the Grill. As soon as the Grill is plugged
into the wall outlet it will start to heat up.
4. Preheat for 6 minutes. NOTE: You can use the Timer when preheating
the Grill. Set the Timer for 6 minutes. When the Timer ’beeps’, the Grill

with the Grill opened flat.

the Start Button. Grill until food is done to your taste. NOTE: Check the
progress about every 2 minutes as the food is cooking rapidly from
both the top and bottom.
IMPORTANT:

- Do not cut food on the non-stick Grill Plates.

Helpful Grilling Hints
1. Always preheat the Grill for approximately 6 minutes for best
cooking results.
2. Use boneless meat and poultry for even browning.
3. Place thicker pieces of meat toward the outside of the grill.
4. For maximum grilling performance, use meat that is 3/4” (19 mm) to
1” (25 mm) thick. Food that is 1/2” (13 mm) thick or less may not touch
the Top Grill Plate.
5. Do not cook more than 1-1/4 lbs. (567 g) of meat at one time. More meat
will produce a lot of juice and prevent browning.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or 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 grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
