Frequently Asked Questions - MG-1600 WILFA

Can I use the grill and kebab functions at the same time?

Yes, you can use both the grilling/griddling surface and the kebab feature simultaneously. Simply assemble the unit with the cooking plate and follow the instructions for both functions. Always ensure the plate is in place even when only using the kebab feature.

How do I flip the cooking plate from grill to griddle?

Turn the temperature control to OFF, unplug the appliance, and allow it to cool completely (at least 30 minutes). Remove the drip cup, clean it, then carefully lift and flip the cooking plate over. Ensure the drip hole aligns with the spout before reinserting the cup.

What is the maximum number of skewers I can cook at once?

You can use up to 10 skewers in the two drawers combined. For large meat or fish cubes, it is recommended to use only 6 skewers per drawer to ensure even cooking.

Can I put the kebab drawers in the dishwasher?

No, the kebab drawers with handles are not dishwasher safe. Only the drip pans, drip cup, heat shield, skewers, and hot dog rollers can go in the dishwasher. Clean the drawers with a damp cloth.

Why does my grill produce a slight odor and smoke on first use?

This is normal for new nonstick appliances. The residue from manufacturing burns off during the first use. Ensure proper ventilation and run the grill on high for about 10-15 minutes before cooking to minimize the smell.

How should I clean the nonstick cooking plate?

Allow the plate to cool completely, then wash it with a soft sponge or cloth and hot water. It is dishwasher safe. Avoid metallic utensils, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the nonstick coating.

What type of utensils should I use?

Use only wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface. Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot plate.

How do I store the grill?

Ensure the grill is clean and completely dry. Assemble the base, cooking plate, and drip tray. Wrap the power cord around the back of the base for compact storage.

Can I use an extension cord with this grill?

Yes, a longer extension cord can be used, but it must have a rating at least equal to the appliance's power (1800W) and be arranged so it does not hang over counter edges to prevent tripping.

What should I do if the plug does not fit the outlet?

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider). If it does not fit, try reversing the plug. If still not fitting, contact a qualified electrician – do not modify the plug.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

USER MAINTENANCE

• Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch the nonstick grill plate. Instead, use only wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot grill plate.
• After using, scrape excess food buildup through holes and into drip tray, then wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with next recipe.

CLEANING AND CARE CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE IT HAS COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.

Once you have finished cooking, turn the Selector Dial control to the Off position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling. Dispose of grease from the drip tray and drip cups once cooled. The drip pans and drip cup can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher. The cooking plate can be washed by hand, using a soft sponge or cloth and hot water. The cooking plate may be submerged in water, or washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for cleaning the cooking plate. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can be damaged. If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent seafood flavor transferring to the next recipe. The heat shield, drip cup, drip pans, skewers and hot dog rollers may be submerged in water or washed in the dishwasher. The kebab drawers, housing base, and control knob can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad. The kebab drawers are not immersible or dishwasher safe.
