:        

5

1.  Position the disc and cover knob on the 

topside of the cover aligning the hole in 
the disc and cover knob with the hole in 
the cover. 

2.  Insert the screw with the washer and 

plastic sleeve attached, through the cover 
hole into the knob.  Tighten with a screwdriver until secured.  Do not over tighten 
to prevent stripping of threads.  Do not use the cover without the cover knob 
attached. 

Grill Assembly: 

•

Always use the grill on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any 
edge.  Never use the grill without the drip pan in base.  Do not use the grill 
unless securely positioned in the base. 

1.  Place the drip pan in to the base.  Fill the drip pan with water to the maximum 

water level line, about 3 cups. 

2.  Position the grill on to the base with the handles in the recessed areas of the 

base.  The grill may be positioned with the control to the left or right end of the 
base.  

3.  With the heat control set at the “OFF” position, 

plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical 
outlet 

only

. 

4.  Preheat the grill, uncovered, at the 

recommended setting for the food being 
cooked.  Refer to the grilling chart in this 
manual or on the handle for selecting the heat setting and grilling times. 

5.  When the signal light on the heat control goes out indicating the grilling 

temperature has been reached, add the food.  If desired, the cover may be 
placed on the grill to shorten the cooking time and help contain spatters.  The 
heat may be increased or decreased, depending upon personal preference and 
the type or amount of food being prepared.  The signal light will go on and off 
periodically to indicate the proper temperature is being maintained. 

6.  Use hot pads when handling the grill and cover as the handles become warm. 

For turning food, nylon, plastic or wooden cooking tools are recommended for 
use on the non-stick surface.  Do not use sharp edged cooking tools or knives. 

7.  When grilling is completed, set the heat control at “WARM” for serving, or set 

the dial at “OFF” if food will be removed immediately from the grill.  After the dial 
is set to “OFF,” unplug the cord from the wall outlet.  Let the grill cool completely 
before removing the heat control. 

8.  Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet after use and allow the grill to cool 

completely before cleaning. 

9.  Do not allow children to use the grill or be around the grill, as the outside 

surfaces of the grill are hot during use.
