General Operating Instructions
Before First Use
- Remove all packing materials, labels, and stickers.
- Hand wash the Glass Lid, Nonstick Grill Plate, Drip Tray, and Collection Pan with warm, soapy water.
- Wipe the inside and outside of the Base Unit with a clean, moist cloth. NEVER wash or submerge the Heating Element, Electric Fan, or Base Unit in water or liquid of any kind.
- Finally, heat up the Unit for a few minutes to burn off any residue.
Using the Power XL Smokeless Grill
- Place the appliance on a stable, level, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
- Assemble the Unit as shown in the manual.
- Add about 2 cups of water to the Collection Pan.
- Leave ample air space on all sides of the Unit to facilitate airflow.
- Plug the Power Cord into a dedicated outlet.
- If you are starting with a cold grill, you may preheat the grill using a medium or high heat setting for 4–6 minutes.
- Prepare and season your food according to your favorite recipe. You may spray or wipe the Grill Plate's cooking surface with cooking oil.
- Select the cooking temperature, add the food, put the Lid in place, and grill to your personal taste. Turn the food as needed.
NOTE: Cooking with the Lid on the Unit is recommended because it maintains the cooking temperature, seals in flavor, and prevents splatter.
CAUTION: The glass lid and handle get very hot. Always use oven mitts.
Removing the Electric Fan
If you are thoroughly cleaning the Base Unit with water and detergents, remove the Electric Fan. When reinserting the Fan, make sure to insert the two-prong connection into the receptacle.
CAUTION: Unplug the Unit before removing the fan. Fan blades are sharp; use care when removing and reinserting.
- Turn over the Base Unit.
- Remove the screw in the Fan Cover and remove the cover.
- Lift the Fan out of the Base Unit. You may need to press on the fan prongs to push the fan out if it will not lift out easily.
Switching Out the Grill and Griddle Plates
To remove the Grill Plate or Griddle Plate from the Power XL Smokeless Grill, use two hands to hold the two metal handles on each side of the Plate. Pull straight upward to remove the Plate from the Power XL Smokeless Grill.
NOTE: If the Power XL Smokeless Grill was recently used to cook food, the Plate and its handles will be hot. Use oven mitts to handle the Plate.
To attach the new Plate, use two hands to hold the two metal hands on each side of the Plate. Lay the Plate evenly on top of the Heating Element and let go of the handles.
Tips
- Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for raw and cooked meat.
- Always marinade in a tightly covered nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
- If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate bacterial growth.
- Similar to a stove top frying pan, grease from high-fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter on the countertop. Protect the countertop as necessary.
- Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs, and uncooked smoked or fresh sausages for best results. If not partially cooked, these meats may become overbrowned on the outside before the center is done.
- To prevent scratching the coating, use only nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the Grill Plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives, that can scratch the cooking surface.
- Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
