Use the following table for
reference only when using
Big Boss Grill™ Deluxe and
its interchangeable plates.
CHANGING TOP PLATE
CHANGING PLATES
NOTE: Never leave unit plugged in while changing the plates. Always make sure to cool
the unit completely before changing plates. Between uses, clean the surface of the plates
with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
1. Open the unit’s cover by moving the latch up and lifting the cover. See Main Diagram on page 4.
2. See both Diagrams on right. To remove the top plate, push and slide Plate Release Switch to the
LEFT to release top plate. The plate will pop out.
3. To remove the bottom plate, push and slide Plate Release Switch to the RIGHT to release top
plate. The plate will pop out.
4. Select the desired pair of plates.
5. FIRST, Insert the two LARGER tabs on each plate into the grill slots, then the small tabs. The plate
will go in one way only. Push and slide Plate Release Switch while gently pushing down and snaping
the plate into place. Repeat for the other plate.
CHANGING BOTTOM PLATE
CAUTION: To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling the unit.
Carefully unpack and remove all packaging and materials. Wipe the unit with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never immerse unit in water. Wash all
plates with warm, soapy water.
Before cooking food for the first time, operate the appliance without food in order to burn off residue on the plates. You may notice slight odor
and/or smoke coming off the plates (first use only). This is normal and will go away in a few minutes.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
The Big Boss Grill™ Deluxe can be used in two different positions:
Closed-cover position – Cooks the food on the top and bottom at the same time.
Open-cover position – Cooks the food on the bottom only. Food may need to be turned.
USAGE
5 6
IMPORTANT: Before preheating the cooking plates, lightly brush each plate with vegetable oil or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
IMPORTANT: Grill unit must be used with BOTH PLATES inserted on top and bottom at
all times. If this is not followed, the unit’s thermostat will malfunction, causing the unit
to overheat and burn its fuse, damaging the unit.
Push and slide switch to the
LEFT to release the plate.
Push and slide switch to the
