Before rst use ...
• Before making the rst meal in your Microwave Grill, be sure to wash all
pans with warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge to assure
clean, safe cooking.
• For quick searing, preheat your Base Unit with the Grill Press Lid 2.5
minutes in your microwave.
• When using cooking oil or butter for avoring your foods, use half the
amount suggested for a regular recipe.
• Always let meats rest after cooking as per chart on page 5 before serving
to retain all the avors and juices.
• When grilling, do not turn the food repeatedly. Let the foods sit on the pan
surface to sear. Remove and lift a corner to determine if it is grilled to your
liking. This will help seal all the natural juice and avors on the inside.
Always...
• Always allow your Microwave Grill to cool completely before
cleaning. Use a damp cloth and wipe dry.
• Always use plastic or wooden utensils when cooking on any nonstick
surface to prevent scratching.
Never...
• Never clean any part of your Microwave Grill with abrasive or
metal scouring pads.
• Never submerge your Base Unit or Grill Press Lid into water.
• Never use metal utensils on your Microwave Grill.
• Never use if protective coatings are scratched, damaged or missing.
• Before storing, allow 60 minutes for cooling.
Stand Up Lid
THE LID IS HOT– DO NOT
PLACE GRILL SIDE DOWN ON
THE COUNTER. It will ruin coun-
ter surfaces. Handles on the Grill
Press Lid should be used to stand
it as shown here, preventing drip-
ping or heat damage to counter top
surfaces.
After reviewing all the information in this Owner’s Manual, you’ll be
ready to try some of the quick and easy recipes that will familiarize

Remember, for health reasons, great care should be taken to make certain
that all food is cooked properly.
Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured with a
food thermometer before removing food from the heat source. For reasons
of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook food to higher
temperatures.
