close lid.
If flare-up continues turn controller to OFF position and unplug
the power cord.
Cleaning your grill:
Excess build up of burned grease and food particles will reduce
the grill’s cooking performance. To obtain optimum performance.

more often with heavy use.
Best results are obtained by brushing particle buildup
downward and through drain hole in bottom of grill.
Using a mild detergent or hot soapy water, moderately scrub
surface of the lower porcelain bowl with a plastic or brass
bristle brush.
Clean cooking grates regularly with warm soapy water or a
baking soda and water solution. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
