Usage Features
The grill is designed for straightforward operation:
- Skewering Food: Food is skewered onto grilling forks (skewers) and then placed on the right plate. Chuck screws on the grilling fork can be adjusted with a Phillips screwdriver if needed.
- Drip Tray: A drip tray is placed under the oven liner to collect oil and grease. It is recommended to cover the tray with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
- Heating Process: The heating element gradually turns red as the temperature increases. Users should set a reasonable cooking time to avoid over-toasting/grilling and should not leave the appliance unattended.
- First Use: Before the first use, all knobs should be in the "OFF" position. All accessories should be removed and washed. The oven should be heated empty for 20 minutes to remove any mechanical oil, which may produce smoke initially.
- Preheating: The appliance should be preheated for twenty minutes with the main grill on HIGH and the glass door closed before cooking.
- Timer and Rotisserie: The timer knob is adjusted clockwise to the desired cooking time. The rotating fork switch controls the rotisserie function.
- Food Placement: Finely divided foods may require a baking tray, while larger pieces use skewers.
- Skewers Removal: Skewers are removed by turning off rotation, opening the glass door, lifting the skewer handle from its holder, and displacing its tip from the dragging axle.
- Meat Distribution: Food must be evenly distributed on each skewer to ensure smooth rotation and prevent damage to the motor gear box.
- Carrying: The grill should be cool, and all accessories and the glass lid removed before transport. Lateral handles are provided for easy carrying.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the grill's longevity and performance:
- Cleaning: The grill should be unplugged and cooled down before cleaning. Internal and external surfaces, food trays, and skewers can be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with neutral detergent and clean water.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use brushes, hard items, or commercial cleaners that could damage surfaces.
- Baked-on Foods: For baked-on foods, a fine to medium grit nonmetallic abrasive pad with neutral detergent can be used.
- Drip Tray Cleaning: The movable drip tray should be cleaned after each use to prevent oil accumulation, which could lead to fire. It should be removed completely, cleaned with hot soapy water, and reinstalled in its preset position.
- Glass Door: Do not use a humid cloth to clean the glass door when it is hot, as it may shatter.
- Rust and Corrosion: Leaving food residue, grease spills, salt, and seasoning inside the grill will accelerate rust and corrosion, potentially affecting the warranty.
- Authorized Service: Any servicing beyond routine cleaning should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- Warranty: The product warranty does not cover discoloration or rust unless there is a loss of structural integrity on appliance components, as high cooking temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine, fertilizers, lawn pesticides, and salt can affect painting and components.
Safety Warnings
The manual emphasizes several critical safety warnings:
- General Safety: Read all instructions before use and keep them handy.
- Hot Surfaces: The glass door, top, back, sides, and heating element become extremely hot during use and retain heat afterward. Always use appropriate oven mitts or gloves when handling hot surfaces or checking food.
- Installation: Installation, repair, and maintenance should be performed by an authorized service technician. Improper installation can void the warranty.
- Electrical Safety:
- Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or any part of the electric oven in water or other liquids.
- Do not use the grill outdoors or in wet conditions.
- Do not use the grill if the power cord or plug is damaged.
- The appliance has a polarized plug; do not attempt to modify it or use it with an extension cord if it doesn't fit properly.
- If an extension cord is used, it must have a wattage rating at least equal to the appliance's, be positioned to avoid tangling or tripping hazards, and be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- Flammable Materials: Keep the grill away from flammable materials (curtains, papers, gas stoves, kerosene stoves, microwave ovens) and maintain at least a 5-inch distance. Do not cover any part of the electric oven with foreign objects.
- Children and Pets: Use with great care around children. Do not allow children to use it alone or touch, sit, or stand on the appliance. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or in the appliance.
- Unattended Use: Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
- Moving a Hot Grill: Do not attempt to move a hot grill.
- Clothing: Wear proper clothing; loose-fitting or hanging garments should not be worn while using the appliance.
- Drip Tray: Ensure the drip tray is correctly placed to prevent grease from dropping onto hot surfaces.
- Food Items: Only consumable foods should be grilled. Do not insert large pieces of food or metal items into the electric oven.
- Door Temperature: The door and external surface temperature may be high when the oven is running; pay attention to the danger of burns.
- Burn-off Process: Do not open the glass door during the burn-off process, as sudden grease flare-ups could cause burns. Wait until the grill has cooled.
