• 
Always start with clean, dry cooking plates, thoroughly rinsed to remove any 
soap residue. 
• 
Always clean the cooking surfaces between cooking of different food items to 
ensure there is no cross contamination. 
• 
There is no need for preheating the unit, but for consistent, repeatable cooking 
results, always allow the appliance to preheat before placing food on the 
cooking plates.  You will then be able to reliably use the cooking timer for 
consistent results. 
• 
Always place the grease cups in their proper location prior to preheating. 
• 
Always monitor the food temperature and follow the safe temperature guidelines 
for the product you are cooking. 
• 
Do not use metal utensils as they may permanently damage the non-stick 
cooking surfaces. 
• 
Do not use spray-on or aerosol type non-stick coatings, as this will affect the 
performance of the non-stick surfaces of the cooking plates.
