5. Operating Instructions

The CUSIMAX Smokeless Indoor Electric Grill features an intuitive LED smart display for easy temperature control.

1. Power On: Press the power button (⏻) on the control panel. The LED display will illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Use the up (▲) and down (▼) arrows to adjust the desired cooking temperature. The grill can be set from 200°F to 450°F. The display will show the set temperature and then the current temperature as it heats up.
3. Activate Fan: Press the fan button (⌽) to activate the Turbo Smoke fan system. This system removes at least 95% of smoke during grilling, keeping your indoor environment fresh. The fan can be operated independently of the heating element.
4. Preheat: Allow the grill to preheat to the set temperature. The display will indicate when the desired temperature is reached.
5. Grilling: Place your food directly onto the grill or griddle plate. The non-stick surface ensures food does not stick.
6. Using the Glass Lid: The tempered glass lid can be used to cover food during cooking to help retain moisture and heat, and to further minimize any smoke or splatter.
7. Power Off: Once cooking is complete, press and hold the power button (⏻) to turn off the grill. Allow the unit to cool down completely before cleaning.

6. Cooking Tips

• For best results, preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before placing food on it.
• The double U heating tubes provide fast and consistent heating, sealing in flavor and moisture for juicy results.

• Use the included tongs for easy handling of food on the hot surface.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CUSIMAX Smokeless Indoor Electric Grill, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Grill not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the grill and a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet has power.
• Grill not heating: Verify that the temperature is set correctly on the LED display. Allow sufficient time for preheating.
• Excessive smoke: Ensure the Water/Oil Collection Tray has sufficient water (if used) and is properly positioned. Make sure the fan is activated. Clean the grill plates and drip tray regularly to prevent grease buildup.
