Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
- Clean: Before first use, wash the removable drip tray and cooking plate with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the grill base with a damp cloth.
- Assemble:

- Insert the removable drip tray into the base. Ensure it is seated correctly.

- Position: Ensure the grill is placed on a flat, stable surface away from walls and flammable materials, with adequate ventilation.
Operating Instructions
- Preheat: Plug the temperature control cord into a standard 120V electrical outlet. Turn the temperature control dial to your desired cooking temperature. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is heating. Allow 5-10 minutes for the grill to preheat.
- Prepare Food: Lightly brush the non-stick cooking plate with a small amount of cooking oil if desired, though the non-stick surface often requires little to no oil.
- Grill: Place food directly onto the preheated cooking plate. The flame-free technology helps reduce smoke and odors, making it suitable for indoor use.
- Monitor Temperature: Adjust the temperature control dial as needed during cooking to achieve desired results. The indicator light will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- Cook Thoroughly: Ensure all food, especially meats, is cooked to safe internal temperatures.
- Finish Cooking: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
- Cool Down: Allow the grill to cool completely before handling or cleaning. The cool-touch handles and heat-proof frame are designed for safety during and after use.
