INSTRUCTIONS AND RECIPES

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the

risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer

cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is

properly exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The

longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over.
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only. As a

safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will only fi t in a polarized outlet

one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician. Do not attempt

to defeat this safety feature.

Before using for the fi rst time, become familiar with the Grill-

n-Lite™ Indoor Electric Grill, Fig. A. Wash Grill and drip pan

according to “Care and Cleaning” instructions, page 2.
1. Set Grill on a fl at, dry countertop.
2. Insert drip pan. Note: Each handle assembly has a built-in drip

pan guide (Fig. B) which holds the drip pan (Fig. C) in its proper

position. These guides are located below the grilling surface. To

insert the drip pan, position it so it is resting on both drip pan

guides, and slide the drip pan under the Grill. When the notches

under the drip pan rim meet with the ridges on the drip pan guide,

the drip pan will drop into the correct location. Always insert or

remove the drip pan from the side closest to you.

Never operate Grill without the drip pan in place as doing so

could damage the countertop.

3. Insert the Control Master

®

heat control into the Grill so the two

electrical pins on the Grill are fully inserted into the heat control.
4. Plug cord into a polarized outlet, and turn Control Master

®

heat control to proper temperature (see page 2 for cooking

temperatures). Preheat Grill for 10 minutes. The recommended

setting for most grilling is 400°. The light on the control will

remain on at that setting. At the other recommended and “keep

warm” settings, the light usually will cycle on and off. Cycling at

lower temperatures is normal.
5.Prepare food, place food on Grill, and cook according to grilling

time chart (page 2) or recipe (pages 3-5).

NOTE: This Grill features a DiamondCoat

®

deluxe nonstick

fi nish for stick-free cooking. To help protect this special

surface, use nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Using metal

utensils or cutting foods on the cooking surface may damage

the nonstick fi nish.
