Frequently Asked Questions - GR 46752 KALORIK

How to clean the grill plate?

After complete cooling, wash the plate with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scrub pad. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. The drip tray is dishwasher safe.

Can I use cooking sprays?

No, using cooking sprays is not recommended as they can cause grease buildup and damage the non-stick coating. Use a drizzle of vegetable oil applied with a brush or paper towel.

How to set the temperature correctly?

Turn the adjustment knob to the desired position. The indicator light turns on during heating and turns off when the temperature is reached. It turns on and off to maintain the temperature. Refer to the temperature table in the manual for each food.

What to do if the plate does not heat up?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that the voltage matches. Make sure the temperature knob is not set to OFF. If the problem persists, contact Kalorik customer service at 1-888-521-TEAM.

Can I use metal utensils on the plate?

No, to preserve the non-stick coating, use only nylon, plastic, wood or rubber utensils. Metal utensils scratch the surface.

How to remove stubborn stains?

Sprinkle baking soda on the stains, add a few drops of water to form a paste, let it sit for a few minutes (no more than one hour), then gently scrub with a wet sponge or plastic scrub pad. Rinse and dry.

Is it normal for the indicator light to blink?

Yes, it is normal. The light turns on and off during cooking to indicate that the plate is automatically maintaining the selected temperature.

Can I leave the plate on unattended?

No, careful supervision is required, especially when children are present. Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before storing.

What type of oil to use for first use?

Coat the non-stick surface with a little vegetable oil before heating for the first time. Remove excess with a paper towel. This improves the non-stick performance.

Does the warranty cover damage caused by misuse?

No, the one-year warranty does not cover defects resulting from misuse, neglect, failure to follow instructions, or commercial use. Keep your proof of purchase.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Carefully unpack the griddle and remove all packaging materials.
• Before cooking for the first time, wash the griddle with mild dishwashing soap. Wipe and allow to dry.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Place appliance on a flat, heat resistant, stable surface in a ventilated area.

NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by this griddle. It's recommended to place a hot pad or trivet under the griddle beforehand to avoid possible damage to the surface. Be sure the sides and back of the griddle are at least 4 inches away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.

• Coat the non-stick surface with vegetable shortening before heating. If necessary, remove excess oil with paper towel.

• Make sure the temperature control is in OFF position. Insert the temperature control probe into the side of the grill, then insert plug into electrical outlet.

• Adjust the temperature control to desired setting. NOTE: The indicator light on the control dial indicates the heat setting. When desired setting is reached, the light will turn off. It will continue to cycle on and off during use to indicate heat setting is being automatically maintained.
• Preheat the grill for 10 minutes or until the indicator light goes out. NOTE: The cooking temperatures listed in this user manual are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to achieve the results you prefer.
• Place food directly onto cooking surface and cook to desired doneness. You can adjust the temperature during cooking by using the control knob if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not use cooking sprays. They can cause a build-up on the cooking plates and may affect the non-stick performance of the product.

NOTE:

• During cooking, the light will go on and off indicating that the griddle is maintaining selected temperature.

• When cooking bacon or foods containing large quantities of grease, it may be necessary to check the drip tray to make sure it is not full. Remove drip tray; empty contents and wash if needed.

• When finished cooking, turn the temperature control OFF and remove plug from power outlet.

IMPORTANT: To avoid burn injury, wait until the appliance has cooled before removing the temperature control.

NOTE: Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures can cause discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface. If higher temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium for a few minutes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug cord from power outlet.
• Always allow appliance to cool completely before cleaning and removing temperature controller.
• If necessary, wipe temperature control case and probe with a damp, soft cloth. Dry temperature control probe completely. NEVER IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

CAUTION: The temperature control may become hot after use. Allow to cool before handling.

• Remove the drip tray; empty contents. The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water. Wash the griddle with warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE:

• For stubborn food particles, loosen with a plastic cleaning pad. Avoid hard scouring of the nonstick finish as this may cause surface scratches. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the griddle.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

Hints for Care and Use of Non-Stick Surface

• To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects on the grill or griddle cooking plates.

CAUTION: Do not use cooking sprays. They can cause a build-up on the cooking plates and may affect the non-stick performance of the product.

• Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures can cause discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface. If higher temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium heat for a few minutes.

• For best results and preserve the non-stick coating longer, use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Never cut food on the Griddle.

• Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid; do not use steel wool as it will damage the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.

Steps for Stain Removal and Proper Care of Ceramic Non-Stick Coating

1. Identify stained areas on the cooking surface and sprinkle some baking soda on the stains.
2. Moisten the baking soda to get a paste like texture by adding some water.
3. Let the paste stand for a few minutes on the stains (not more than an hour).
4. Rub with a soft damp cloth or lightly scrub with a plastic scouring pad, wipe clean and dry thoroughly.

NOTE: Do not rub vigorously when using a plastic scouring pad and NEVER use a metal scouring pad as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Repeat the cycle once again if necessary. The performance and non-stick property of the ceramic non-stick coating will not be affected due to stains.
