Description
With its sleek and contemporary appearance, this grill complements any kitchen's interior dcor. This non-stick griddle surface is large enough to cook several things at once, which makes it perfect for large family meals or entertaining. Users may adjust the heat to suit the type of food being cooked with the adjustable temperature control, guaranteeing perfect results each and every time.
Added safety during cooking is ensured by the cool-touch exterior and tight locking mechanism, which stop inadvertent openings while in use. The drip tray also aids in maintaining a clean cooking surface by catching extra oil and grease.
How to Use the Grill/Griddle
- 3. To insert and remove grids, pull clips away from the unit to release.
- 4. Insert end of grid into fixed latch, and rest grid on center latches. Spread center latches to allow grids to fall into place.
- 9. Use nonstick cooking spray before heating. Power ON light will turn on as soon as the unit is plugged in. The READY light (one per cooking surface) will turn on as soon as the desired temperature is reached on each side.
- 10. Use only utensils which are high-heat resistant (~450°F/232°C) and safe for nonstick surfaces. This will help prolong the life of the nonstick coating.
- 11. In grill mode, grease will drain in center into the drip tray. Make sure the drip tray is in place.
- 12. When finished, turn all controls to “MIN” before unplugging unit from the outlet.
