Watch carefully to avoid overcooking. • For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking. 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: heating elements will continue 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. 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.
