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.
Important: heat continues to be ON until grill is unplugged.
2. Place drip tray under front of grill. Use plastic spatula to scrape off any
excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the
drip tray.
3. Use a warm, soapy sponge to wipe plates clean, then rinse sponge
and wipe again to remove any soapy residue. Dry thoroughly with an
absorbent paper towel.
4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a
paper towel.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.
