OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing to Use Your Steam
Grill
• If you intend to use frozen food,
always allow sufficient time to
defrost beforehand. Make sure that
it has defrosted completely before
putting it on the steam grill to cook.
• Place the steam grill on a stable,
heat resistant working surface,
close to an electrical outlet but out
of the reach of children.
• Make sure that the drip pan is in
place.
• Wipe the grilling plates with a small
amount of cooking oil. Do not use
olive oil or butter as it may burn
and damage the grilling surface.
• If you wish to use the steam
feature, fill the water reservoir with
5 ounces of water.
• Plug the power cord into the
electrical outlet and let the steam
grill preheat.
• Cut the food to be grilled into 1-
inch slices.
• When using the steam feature, you
can choose the amount of steam
that you want by setting the steam
control. Turning the steam control
knob all the way to the left will give
you no steam. Turn the steam
control knob all the way to the right
to get maximum steam. (Fig. 1)
Grill Guide (cont.)
• Let the steam grill preheat for
about 5 minutes before placing
anything on the grilling plates.
• Meats can be marinated before
grilling for extra flavor and
tenderness if desired. Marinades
with added sugar will cause meats
to brown more quickly.
• Before grilling, partially cook bone-
in chicken, ribs and uncooked
smoked or fresh sausages for best
results. If not partially cooked,
these meats may become over-
browned on the outside before the
center is done.
• If desired, brush with barbecue or
other sauce during last 5-10
minutes of grilling.
• Cooking times will be the same no
matter how much food is on the
grill. The starting temperature will
affect cooking time. Food directly
from the refrigerator will take
longer to cook than food at room
temperature.
• Unplug from electrical outlet and
allow grill to cool completely before
disposing of grease that has
accumulated in the drip tray.
• To ensure doneness, we
recommend using an instant read
thermometer to check the
temperature of food before
serving.
• To avoid scratching the non-stick
coating on the grilling plates, do
not use metal utensils. Use only
plastic or wooden utensils.
• For thicker slices of meat, the
hinge between the base and the lid
is loose enough to allow you to lift
the lift a little before lowering it on
to the food.
• Do not use the steam grill to
defrost food.
• Do not use the steam grill to cook
frozen food as the outside will burn
before the inside is cooked.
• Cooking time will depend on the
type and thickness of the food
being grilled.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Grill Guide (cont.)
• When cooking meat or poultry,
cook until the juices run clear.
Cook fish until the flesh is opaque
throughout.
• Always use an oven mitt or pot
holder when opening the steam
grill lid.
• When finished cooking, turn the
steam control to the “no steam”
position (all the way to the left)
before opening the lid to avoid
steam burns or injuries. Then
remove the food from the steam
grill.
• When finished grilling, unplug the
steam grill and let cool before
cleaning.
Care & Cleaning
• Unplug appliance from electrical
outlet before cleaning.
• Allow appliance to cool thoroughly
before cleaning.
• Be sure that the grease in the drip
pan is cool before removing drip
pan from grill.
• If necessary, wipe the power cord
with a damp cloth.
• DO NOT IMMERSE STEAM
GRILL OR POWER CORD IN
WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
• Wipe the outside of the grill with a
warm, wet sponge and dry with a
soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the non-stick grill surface,
use damp sponge to wipe ribs free
of heavy debris. Wipe clean with a
warm, damp sponge.
• To clean the steam vent holes, use
a wooden toothpick to dislodge
food particles. Run the unit with
steam only for about 10 minutes
after you have finished using the
appliance. Wipe clean with a damp
sponge after this steam cycle.
• To clean the removable drip tray,
empty any grease that has
accumulated. Wash the removable
drip tray in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry. The drip tray is top
rack dishwasher safe.
• Never use scouring pads or harsh
cleansers on any part of the unit. If
necessary, use a nylon bristle
brush.
