Using Cast Iron Professional Indoor Electric Grill FOR FIRST TIME
Before plugging in the unit, make sure that the grill is on a flat, stable, and firm surface, a safe distance away from
surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
Make sure the drip tray beneath the unit is fully in place. The grill will not turn on if the tray is not in its proper
position. Fill the tray with enough clean water so that the level is between the “Min” and “Max” labels stamped in the
tray. Having the tray properly filled with water ensures more even cooking temperatures and prevents smoke.
Note: It may be easiest to fill the drip tray with water before the cast iron grate is put in place.
Unpack the cast iron grill plate from its packaging, and place it on top of the grill so that the heating elements fit
inside the grate, as show in Figure 1 and 2. You can use the access hole in the upper right corner of the grate to
position the grate in place. See figure 1 and 2 for proper orientation of the grate on the grill. (Access hole should
always be in the upper, right hand corner of the grill.)
Insert the power cord into a grounded 120 volt outlet. Turn on the rocker switch. The switch will illuminate when it
is in the “ON” position. Turn the temperature control knob to the highest setting. We recommend running the grill at
the highest setting for about 15 minutes. On this very first cycle, a light odor may be given off which is typical of new
heating elements.
