Operating your Kenyon The Big American Electric Grill is straightforward with its IntelliKEN Touch Control system.

4. Direct Temperature Feedback (DTF): The control panel displays the current temperature of each zone, allowing for accurate monitoring.

4.2 Automatic Shut-Off

The grill is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature for safety. Depending on the heat setting, the grill will automatically turn off after 60 or 90 minutes of continuous operation. This prevents over-grilling and conserves energy.
