- Never leave the electric heating element control in the ON position when you are not cooking.
- Unplug the grill from the outlet when it’s not in use and before cleaning. Allow the grill to cool before moving, cleaning, disassembling or transporting
- Never move the grill while in use or not fully cooled.
- Use extreme caution when handling or removing the grease drip tray. Grease will be hot and will cause serious burns if spilled.
- When finished grilling, turn the temperature control dial off and unplug the grill from the outlet. Let it cool before moving or cleaning.
- Never use the grill in electric mode outdoors in wet conditions, or when there is rain, sleet, or snow.
- Do not use aerosols or store combustible or flammable liquids or materials near the grill.
- If a flare-up occurs, do not use water to put out the fire. Turn the grill off, unplug the power cord, and wait for the grill to cool.
- Do not place on or near hot stove burners or in a heated oven.
- Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Use only a properly grounded 110–120 VAC outlet. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, and then plug the cord into the wall outlet. Turn the control knob to the OFF position before unplugging. If the plug fits loosely into the outlet, or if the outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.
- If using on a counter top, do not let the cord hang over the edge.
- Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.
- The use of extension cords is not recommended. However, if you do decide that it can be used safely in your environment, they must be the same three-wire, grounded type, and the electrical rating at least as great as the appliance cord (16AWG).
- If the electrical cord cannot be kept on the counter or table, make sure that you route it away from paths of travel to prevent the cord from being tripped on or snagged and possibly pulling the hot grill off of the support surface.
- Outdoor extension cords should be used when grilling outdoors. Use products that are surface marked with the suffix letter “W” and with a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances.” Ensure that the connection is kept dry and off of the ground.
- Keep all electrical components dry. Do not submerse the electric heating element, the power cord or control in water. This will damage the components and may expose you to electrical shock.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR ELECTRIC GRILL SETUP, USE AND CARE- Ensure entire grill is thoroughly clean before use.
- To install the electric heating element
- Move the sliding cover on the side of the unit down
- Insert the connection plug of the electric heating element from the inside through the opening. The notch of the plug should rest in the opening (inset A).
- Insert the support hooks of the element into the holes in the top of the grill body (inset B).
- Attach the control unit probe into the heating element connection, making sure that it is fully seated.
- Place the grill grate over the electric heating element, making sure the support hooks are aligned.
- If doing the initial conditioning inside, place the grill on a heat-safe surface near a hood. Turn on the hood to vent the smoke produced.
- Turn the temperature control dial to your desired heat setting and place the lid on to preheat the grill grate.
- After you thoroughly clean your grill, it is recommended to store it in a clean, dry area. Leave all the vents open so moisture doesn’t collect inside and cause rust.
- If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep rain out. Store the heating element and power cord inside to prevent premature wear and damage.
When converting from outdoor charcoal grill to indoor electric grill, be sure to thoroughly clean the grill and wipe out all charcoal remnants and residue. If charcoal remnants or residue remain when using the electric heating element it may produce carbon monoxide which may cause serious injury or death.
To get the best flavor from your first grilling and remove any manufacturing oils, “break-in” your grill before cooking for the first time. Break in the electric heating element to remove the new-appliance smell before cooking for the first time. Once the grill is assembled, plug in the electric heating element, set the control on HIGH and let the grill run for about 10 minutes with the lid off.
- When using your grill for the first time, the paint on the outside of the grill may change color slightly as a result of the high temperatures. This is normal and should be expected.
- Keep the grill at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from combustible materials when in use.
- The electric heating element uses high wattage. Make sure no other high-wattage appliances are plugged into the same circuit when you’re using the grill. If you experience a breaker tripping, then you will need to use a different outlet that is located on a different circuit, or make sure other appliances are turned off.
- Do not oil the grill. Oiling the grill will create excessive smoke and will not improve performance.
- The red light on the grill temperature control indicates that the power is on and that the heating element is heating. The light will turn on and off periodically, as the heating element adjusts to maintain the temperature.
When the red light is off, the heating element may still be hot. To prevent burns make sure that the control is turned to off and the grill is unplugged and completely cool before touching the heating element.
- Leaving the lid vent open will decrease the heat. Closing it will increase the heat.
- To stop grilling, turn the temperature control dial to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Always pull the plug out from the wall; never pull the cord.

- To put out the charcoal, place the lid on the grill and close all the vents until the charcoal goes out completely. Make sure ashes are cold before discarding.
- After you thoroughly clean your grill, it is recommended to store it in a clean, dry area. Leave vents open so moisture doesn’t collect inside and cause rust. If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep rain out.
GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Wash before using the first time.
- Thoroughly clean the entire grill between each use.
- After you are finished grilling and the grill has completely cooled, to clean the grill:
- Do not submerse the electric heating element, the control or the cord in water. Wipe these down with a damp cloth.
- Grill grate: dishwasher-safe.
- Lid and bowl: thoroughly clean with a soft cloth and soapy water and wipe dry before storing. Caution: be careful around sharp edges of the grill.
- Thoroughly clean entire grill between each use.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers like steel wool, cleansers with bleach, or oven-cleaning solutions as they may permanently damage the surface and void the guarantee.
- After you finish grilling, unplug the grill, cover with the lid if using outdoors with charcoal, and let it cool before cleaning.
- Remove ashes after each time you cook. Make sure ashes are cold before discarding.
- After you thoroughly clean your grill, store it in a clean, dry area. Leave vents open so moisture does not collect inside and cause rust. If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep rain out.
- Store the heating element and power cord indoors to prevent premature wear and damage.
- After continued use, it may look as if paint is peeling or flaking off the inside of the lid. The flakes you see are just accumulated cooking vapors that have turned into carbon. They are not harmful. You can remove them by brushing the lid with a grill brush.
