The KRUPS Smoke Less Indoor Electric Grill is a versatile appliance designed for household use, offering a convenient way to grill food indoors with reduced smoke. This electric grill features two independent removable grill plates (a) that can be used either separately or together, providing flexibility for different cooking needs. The appliance is equipped with two thermostat control dials (d), allowing users to set different temperatures for each grill plate if desired. An ON LED indicator (c) illuminates when the cord is plugged into a wall outlet, and a READY LED indicator (b) turns on when the grill has reached the desired cooking temperature, ensuring optimal cooking results. A drip tray (e) is integrated into the design to collect excess fat and liquids, contributing to a cleaner cooking experience and easier maintenance.
The KRUPS Smoke Less Indoor Electric Grill is primarily designed for grilling various foods such as steak, cutlets, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, and vegetables. Its smoke-less technology aims to minimize smoke production during cooking, making it suitable for indoor use. The independent temperature controls for each grill plate allow for simultaneous cooking of different items at their ideal temperatures. The grill offers multiple temperature settings: WARM (212°F/100°C), LOW (302°F/150°C), MEDIUM (356°F/180°C), HIGH (392°F/200°C), and SEAR (446°F/230°C), catering to a wide range of recipes and preferences. The READY LED indicator ensures that the grill is properly preheated before food is placed on the cooking surfaces, which is crucial for achieving desired cooking outcomes and preventing food from sticking. The appliance is not intended for commercial use, nor for flambé recipes, and users are advised against cooking food in aluminum foil directly on the plates.
While specific wattage and voltage are not detailed in the provided manual, it is stated that users should "Check that the electrical installation is compatible with the wattage and voltage stated on the bottom of the appliance." The grill operates with a grounded 3-wire cord, and if an extension cord is used, it must have an electrical rating at least as great as the appliance's and be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cooking plates are non-stick, requiring the use of plastic or wooden utensils to avoid damage. The appliance is designed to be smoke-less, though the amount of smoke can vary depending on the fattiness or oil content of the ingredients being cooked. Food thicker than 1.5 inches cannot be prepared on this product.
Before first use, all packaging materials, stickers, and accessories must be removed. The plates should be thoroughly cleaned with warm water and dishwashing liquid, then rinsed and dried. It is essential that both grill plates are installed correctly, even if only one is intended for use. The drip tray must also be in position before operation. To preheat, the cord is unwound and plugged into a wall outlet, which illuminates the ON lights. The thermostat controller(s) are then adjusted to the desired position until the READY LED indicator lights up. Users can set each thermostat at different temperatures. Once preheated, food can be placed on the cooking plates. The READY LED indicator will intermittently turn on and off during use to signal that the temperature is being maintained. The manual provides a cooking guide with recommended times for various foods, including steak (15-20 minutes at Sear), cutlets (12-15 minutes at Sear), sausages (10-15 minutes at Sear), bacon (4 minutes at Sear), mushrooms (6-8 minutes at High), and vegetables (8-12 minutes at High). Recipes for Grilled Kansas City Strip Steak, Grilled Hamburgers, Grilled Asparagus, and Grilled Romaine Hearts are included, offering detailed instructions for preparation and grilling.
After cooking, the thermostat control(s) should be set to the minimum position, and the appliance unplugged from the wall outlet. It must be allowed to cool down completely before handling or cleaning. The grill plates can be washed in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Abrasive cleansers or harsh pads should not be used on the non-stick coating. To clean the inner reflector (housing), the cooking plates can be removed, and the appliance lifted from underneath. The main body of the grill should never be immersed in water or any other liquid. The drip tray should not be removed while cooking, and if it becomes full, the appliance must be cooled down before emptying. To prevent excessive smoke, users are advised to trim excess fat from ingredients, avoid excessive marinade or sauce, and ensure grates are properly cleaned before each use. Wiping grates between cycles can also help remove residual fat and crumbs. In case of any problems, users are directed to contact an authorized after-sales service center. The product packaging is made of recyclable materials, and users are encouraged to dispose of the appliance at a recycling depot to be environmentally friendly.
