SOLUTION
Always use heatproof
plastic, nylon or wood
utensils to avoid scratching
nonstick surface of grill plates.
Never use metal skewers,
tongs, forks or knives.
Always preheat grill at
least 5 minutes before
cooking any foods.
Use nylon scrubbing pad
and hot, soapy water to clean
grill plates. Do not use steel
wool scrubbing pads or
abrasive cleaners to clean grill.
Because grill is cooking from
both sides, food is cooked
much faster than in a skillet
or under a broiler. Use cooking
chart as a guide and check
food at lowest time stated
on chart.
Check to be sure appliance
is plugged into working outlet
and POWER is on.
Select "SEAR" and bring to
500˚F temperature (non-flashing)
prior to placing food on grill plates
Oxidation on uncoated side of
plate is not harmful and can be
wiped off with a damp towel.
