Cleaning and maintenance
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the grill is turned off, unplugged, and completely cooled
before cleaning or attempting to store the item. NEVER IMMERSE THE GRILL
PLATE OR TEMPERATURE PROBE in water or any other liquid.
It is important to clean your grill thoroughly after each use to prevent sticky build
ups that are difficult to clean later. Proper cleaning of the grill can lead to clean,
better tasting food and extend the life of the grill.
ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL AND PARTS TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
CLEANING. Remove the temperature probe before cleaning.
1. Turn the temperature probe to the off position. Make sure the power cord is
unplugged. Let the unit cool completely.
2. Remove the temperature probe plug from the unit. DO NOT put in the
dishwasher. Wipe clean with soft cloth, if needed.

plate. You may use wooden or plastic spatula to scrape off any remaining food
residue.
4. Lift and remove the grill plate from the base. Hold the grill plate up at an
angle, keeping the side with plug away from the water.
5. For best cleaning results, wipe the surface clean under warm running water
with soft cloth. Make sure to keep the side with plug dry. NEVER immerse the
grill plate in water. Do not place in dishwasher.
6. Lift up and empty the drip tray. Wipe the extra grease with paper towels.
Wash the drip tray in warm, soapy water.
7. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the base if needed, wash the base in
warm soapy water, if needed.

use or before storing.
