Care and Cleaning

CLEANING
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill and griddle to cool
thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Before cleaning, turn the left hand temperature control dial (grill) to
OFF, turn the right hand temperature control dial (griddle) to OFF(0)
and unplug from the wall outlet and allow to cool.
Caution: To avoid any sparks at the outlet while disconnecting
plug, make sure the indicator lights are off (not illuminated) before
disconnecting the plug from the outlet.
2. Emptying drip tray: Put on oven gloves, remove the drip tray, and
empty it into a heatproof bowl.
Important: Make sure both the drip tray and the liquid inside it have
cooled before attempting to remove it.
3. Inside cleaning: Place the drip tray under the front of the grilling plate.
Using the specially designed spatula, scrape off any excess fat and
food particles. Wipe the cooking surfaces of the grill and griddle with
absorbent paper towels or a sponge.
4. Stubborn build-up: Use a paper towel moistened with a little cooking
oil to remove stubborn stains. If necessary, use a non-metallic
scrubbing pad to clean the cooking plate and a stiff, non-metallic brush
to clean between the grill ribs. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads,
or abrasive cleaners on any part of the grill/griddle.
5. Cleaning drip tray: Put on oven gloves, remove the drip tray, and
empty it. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water, or in the top rack of
the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly with a paper towel or a soft, dry cloth.
Important: Make sure both the drip tray and the liquid inside it have
cooled before attempting to remove it.
6. Outside cleaning: Wipe with a warm, damp sponge and dry with a
soft, dry cloth.
7. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part
of the appliance.
8. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Important: Do not let the temperature controls get wet.
9. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to
