TIPS & HINTS
• It may take up to 10 minutes to reach operating
temperature, depending on the temperature
level that was set.
• For cooking recommendations, refer to the
Cooking Guide and Food Temperature Chart on
page 24 of the Recipe Book.
• Always exercise caution when handling the
Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
during cooking,
as the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
housing
will become hot during use. To open the
Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
, grasp the
handle. The arms are made of die-cast
aluminum and will become hot during use. Do
not touch them during or immediately following
cooking.
• The cover is made of stainless steel and will
become very hot and should not be touched
during or immediately following cooking. If you
need to adjust the cover, be sure to use an
oven mitt to prevent burns.
• The lower housing is made of plastic and can
become very warm. If you need to move the
Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
during cooking,
be sure to handle it from the base only while
wearing an oven mitt. Do not touch the cover.
• Allow the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
to cool
down before handling (at least 30 minutes).
• The first time you use the Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
, it may have a slight odor and may
smoke a bit. This is normal and common to
appliances with nonstick surfaces.
• The Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
comes with
a black cleaning/scraping tool. This can be
used for cleaning both the grill and griddle
sides of the plates after you have finished
cooking and the unit has cooled down
completely (at least 30 minutes). Using the
cleaning tool on a hot surface for too long will
cause the plastic to melt.
• Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch
the nonstick plates.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the
hot grill plates. This includes the provided
cleaning tool.
• In between recipes, use a wooden or heatproof
plastic utensil to scrape excess food buildup
through grease channels and into drip tray.
Then, carefully wipe off any residue with a
paper towel before proceeding with the next
recipe.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Allow the unit to cool down for at least
30 minutes before handling.
• Once you have finished cooking, press the
ON/OFF button to power off and unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
• Use the cleaning/scraping tool to remove any
leftover food from the cooking plates. The
scraping tool can be washed by hand or in
the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Dispose of grease from the drip tray once
cooled. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand
or in the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Press the plate release buttons to remove
plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates
have cooled completely before handling (at
least 30 minutes). The cooking plates can be
washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic
objects, such as knives or forks, for cleaning.
Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning; the
nonstick coating can be damaged.
• If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the
cooking plates with lemon juice to prevent
seafood flavour transferring to the next recipe.
• The housing base, cover and control panel can
be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough
stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner or harsh pad.
Any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
