SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE:
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by
children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Clean all parts (except the Thermostat Control Switch) before using for the first time.
(Refer to “CLEANING & MAINTENANCE” section)
Grill is fully immersible with the Thermostat Control Switch removed.
NEVER use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the non-stick surface as they might
damage the coating.
Note: When using your unit for the first time, you may notice some smoke and odor.
This is caused by the unit burning off the protective coating applied at the factory.
It is normal and harmless and will go away with subsequent use.
HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC GRILL
Grill Assembly:
Always use grill on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. Never
use grill without drip pan in base. Do not use grill unless securely positioned in base.
1. Place drip pan into base. Fill drip pan with water to maximum water level line, about
3 cups.
2. Position grill onto base with handles in recessed areas of base. Grill may be
positioned with control to left or right end of base.
3. With the heat control set to OFF position, plug cord into an electric outlet.
4. Preheat grill, uncovered, at recommended setting for food being
Connecting Thermostat Control Switch:
1. Make sure the Thermostat Control Switch is set to
OFF
, and that it is
NOT
plugged
into an electrical outlet. Also, ensure that the unit and its parts are not hot.
2. Insert the extended rod piece on the Thermostat Control Switch into the receptacle
on the side of the Non-Stick Grilling Surface until you feel it lock into place.
3. Plug the cord into 120V AC electrical outlet.
Setting the Temperature:
1. Set to desired temperature.
2. When setting the temperature, the indicator light on the Thermostat Control Switch
will light up indicating that the power is now ON. When the desired temperature
setting has been reached, the light will shut off—this does not mean the grill is OFF.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC GRILL
(cont.)
Cooking:
1. Coat the Non-Stick Grilling Surface with cooking spray or oil.
2. Let the grill preheat for approximately 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired
temperature (when the indicator light shuts off).
3. Place desired food onto the grill to cook. Lid may be placed on grill to shorten
cooking time and help prevents splatter. Heat may be increased or decreased
depending on personal preference and type or amount of food being cooked.
4.
NOTE
: The signal light will go on and off periodically to indicate that proper
temperature is being maintained.
5. Use hot pads when handling grill and lid as handles become warm. Nylon, plastic or
wooden cooking tools are recommended for use on the non-stick surface. DO NOT
use sharp edged cooking tools or knives.
6. When grilling is complete, set the Thermostat Control Switch to WARM for serving,
or set to the OFF position if food will be removed from grill immediately. And
unplug it from the electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
Unplug from the outlet when not in use. Let all parts cool completely
before cleaning.
TIPS
Always preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes for better results.
Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of oil this is
normal.
Always place water in drip pan to maximum water level line to help reduce smoking
and make clean up easier.
Always use hot pads when handling grill as handles and grill get hot during use.
Begin grilling at recommended heat setting. Adjust heat setting if needed during
cooking.
The Thermostat Control Switch can be set at LO, MED, HI or in between for grilling or
at WARM for serving. Approximate temperatures of each setting are WARM (180°F),
LO (250°F), MED (325°F), and HI (375°F).
Fish and seafood may be basted with melted butter during grilling.
For best results, use tongs to turn meats to avoid piercing the skin. Use a wide
spatula to turn fish, steaks, hamburgers…etc.
Remove excess fat from meats to reduce smoking while grilling.
If using a barbecue sauce, baste meat during the last 5 minutes of grilling.
To prevent sticking, use cooking spray when cooking fish, lean meats or vegetables.
When cooking small pieces of food, lay down a sheet of foil.
When using wooden or bamboo skewers for kebobs, it is highly recommended to
soak the skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes. This will prevent the
skewers from burning during the grilling process.
To protect the non-stick coating on the Non-Stick Grilling Surface, only use utensils
that are made of nylon, plastic, or wood. Avoid metal utensils.
Use separate plates for raw meats, fish, and chicken to prevent the transfer of
harmful bacteria.
Using tender cuts of meat is recommended. Marinate meats before grilling.

BACON AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SKEWERS
1 pound bacon 1 Tsp. garlic powder
2 pounds brussels sprouts 1/4 Tsp. sea salt
1 Tsp. ghee (purified butter) Small wooden skewers
Cut each strip of bacon in half lengthwise. In a frying pan on medium heat, cook the bacon
until it's partially cooked but still soft and pliable. (If you overcook the bacon, it will be
difficult to weave it onto the skewer.)
Remove the bacon from the pan, and set it aside. Remove most of the bacon grease from the
pan, leaving just enough to coat it.
Cut the brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. Add the sprouts, ghee, garlic powder, and sea salt
to the frying pan. Sauté on medium heat until the sprouts are tender and browned.
Preheat the grill to 375ºF.
Assemble the skewers by threading 1 end of the bacon onto the end of a skewer. Add a
brussels sprout slice, and weave the bacon around the sprout and back through the skewer,
creating a wave pattern between the sprouts. Move the bacon and the sprout down the
skewer, and repeat this process 2-3 more times for each skewer.
Grill the skewers in a baking pan for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked.

2 tsp. paprika
1 lemon juiced
Prepare basting oil: mix olive oil, minced onion, garlic powder, paprika and lemon juice in a
bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
Rinse head of cauliflower and remove leaves. Cut off any existing stalk so cauliflower sits flat
on cutting board when turned upright.
With a large sharp knife, slice head of cauliflower right down the middle. Cut into 1 inch
steaks and lay on baking tray. Note: each slice will not be usable as a steak the “steaks” will
be cut from the center of the head where the core unites all the florets. Place the larger florets
that fall away in a large plastic sealable bag. Set aside.
Using a basting brush coat both sides of “steaks” with basting oil.
Pour remaining oil over florets in plastic bag, seal and shake until coated.
Grill cauliflower “steaks” and florets on medium heat for 10-15 minutes/side. Keep an eye on
them so they don’t burn.
Remove from grill and serve immediately.
