Before first use, wash all components with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

1. Check Compatibility: Confirm that your NORITZ gas range is a Piatt series model compatible with the LP0157 Cook Box. Refer to your gas range manual or the NORITZ website for details.
2. Assemble the Cook Box: Place the oil splatter guard (LP0152) into the grill compartment of your gas range. Then, place the wide grill plate (LP0151) inside the oil splatter guard. Ensure both components are securely seated.
3. Pre-heating: For best results, pre-heat the Cook Box inside the grill compartment according to your recipe or gas range instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

Using the NORITZ Cook Box is straightforward. Always refer to your gas range's instruction manual for specific grilling functions and temperature settings.

1. Prepare Food: Place your food directly onto the wide grill plate. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
2. Insert into Grill: Carefully slide the assembled Cook Box (with food) into the grill compartment of your compatible NORITZ gas range.
3. Grill: Close the grill door and set your gas range to the desired grilling temperature and time. The oil splatter guard will help keep the grill interior cleaner during cooking.
4. Remove Food: Once cooking is complete, use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves to carefully remove the Cook Box from the grill. Transfer food to a serving dish.
5. Cool Down: Allow the Cook Box components to cool completely before attempting to clean them.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your Cook Box and maintain its performance.

• Cool Down: Always ensure the grill plate and oil splatter guard have cooled down completely before handling or cleaning.
• Washing: Wash both the grill plate and oil splatter guard with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface. For stubborn food residues, soak the components in warm, soapy water for a period before cleaning.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and ensure longevity.
• Do Not Use: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NORITZ Cook Box, consider the following common solutions:

• Food Sticking: Ensure the grill plate is clean and properly pre-heated. A small amount of cooking oil can be applied to the grill plate before placing food, if appropriate for your recipe.
• Uneven Cooking: Verify that the Cook Box is correctly positioned within the grill compartment. Ensure the grill is pre-heated evenly. Avoid overloading the grill plate.
• Excessive Smoke: This can occur if there is accumulated grease or food residue in the grill compartment or on the Cook Box components. Ensure all parts are clean before use.
• Difficulty Cleaning: For baked-on residue, soak the components in hot, soapy water for an extended period (e.g., 30 minutes to an hour) before scrubbing gently.

If problems persist, consult your NORITZ gas range manual or contact NORITZ customer support.
