minutes to pass before you handle the 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle.

This is a normal by product of appliances with nonstick surfaces. The 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle is
equipped with a cleaning and scraping tool that can be used to clean the grill and griddle
plates after you have finished using it. Using the cleaning tool on hot surfaces will melt
the plastic tools.
MAINTENANCE

uses. Then wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with
next usage.
2. Never use metal utensils as they will scratch the nonstick grill plate. Use only

the provided cleaning tool) in contact with the hot grill plate.
