the Grill without the Drip Tray in place.
3. Close the Grill and plug into a 120 volt A.C. outlet, the Red ‘Power’
Light will illuminate. As soon as the Grill is plugged into the wall outlet
it will start to heat up. When the Green ‘Ready’ Light comes on, the Grill
has reached the correct temperature to start cooking.

position and with the other hand, turn the Top Plate Adjustment Knob
clockwise until tight and the Top Plate will remain at the desired height.

Helpful Grilling Hints
1. Always preheat the Grill until the Green ‘Ready’ Light illuminates.
2. Use boneless meat and poultry for even browning.
3. Place thicker pieces of meat toward the back edge 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.
