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.
Note: Removable grill plates are also dishwasher-safe. If washing grill plates in a
dishwasher, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration. Dishwasher
detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful and can
be wiped off with a damp towel.
6. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the grill
plates.
Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to
clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.
7. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.
8. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be preformed
by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent
accidental closing and injury.
STORAGE

Be sure locking side latches are fully closed and locked before storing grill. This allows
you to store the grill vertically.
