The grill's non-stick surface also makes clean-up easy. Using the grill is quick, easy and safe as long as a few important safety precautions are followed.
Plug the grill in to an electrical outlet with the lid closed,
Preheat the grill for 10 minutes. Using the controls on top of the closed lid, set the variable temperature control to high, then set the timer control for 10 minutes. Once set, the LED light, also located on top of the lid, will go on, which signals that the grilling plates are heating.
