Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the following
guidelines. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness by inserting the meat
thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the thermometer is
not touching the bone.
GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the
center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food
needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS:
To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently
while cooking.
Do not overfill grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.
When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before
suggested time; if necessary, adjust timer using control button.
If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be
shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.
USING THE LOCKING HINGE POISITION
This feature keeps upper grill plate above food on lower grill plate.
1. This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food
being grilled. This allows for even melting of cheese on top of hot cooked hamburgers.
2. If the grill is not hot, preheat grill following directions under PREHEATING THE GRILL.
3. Lift handle of the grill cover up and forward into the locking position of float
& lock hinge.
4. Lower the grill cover into the BROILING position above
the food (J).
5. Allow food to cook for desired time.
6. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than
one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the
thickness of each be about the same.
CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.
Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off
before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
Important: Heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off switch is pressed or
the appliance is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration D). Use plastic spatula to scrape off
any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip
tray. Wipe plates dry with a paper towel or sponge to avoid grease dripping onto your
counter when plates are removed.
3. Remove plates as instructed in HOW TO USE (see illustrations B and C). To clean grill
plates, wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
5. Reinstall grill plates (see illustrations B and C), making sure they are securely attached
to grill body.
