Whether this is your first Chefman
®
appliance or you’re already a part
of our family, we’re happy to be in the kitchen with you. With your new
Smokeless Electric Indoor Grill, you can grill your favorite foods indoors
all year round!
With its large cooking surface, the indoor grill can cook dierent foods
at the same time. Its nonstick, pyramid-shaped grill bars direct fat to
drip away from your food, while creating nice grill marks and cooking
steaks, burgers, chicken, vegetables, and more to juicy perfection. It's
virtually smoke-free, thanks to a water-filled drip tray below the grill
plate. For added safety, the grill features stay-cool handles and turns o
automatically if it gets too hot.
Before you start grilling, please take a few minutes to read our
directions, safety instructions, and warranty information.

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). 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 or force it into the outlet.
This could result in injury or electrical shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-
supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove any packing materials, plastic bags, and stickers before first
use. Be sure to remove all parts from packaging before disposing of
anything. NOTE: Remove the plastic covering on the drip tray before
operating the grill.
2. Wipe the grill clean with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Wash the grill plate in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Do NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the non-
stick surface as this can damage the coating. WARNING: Do NOT
reassemble and use the grill without thoroughly drying the electrical
port; if not completely dry, it can create an electrical shock hazard.
12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING UP AND HEATING THE GRILL
1. Place the unit base on a stable heatproof surface.
2. Set the drip tray in the base and fill it with water, not exceeding the MAX
line (but above the MIN line). NOTE: Do not use the grill without the drip
tray filled and in place.
3. Place the grill grate on the grill over the drip tray.
4. Plug the temperature control unit into the port under the right handle.
Plug in the grill and turn the control dial to the right (clockwise) to turn it
on; the power light will illuminate.
5. Set the dial to your desired heat level. LOW works well for keeping
cooked food warm, while HIGH is good for grilling steaks.
WARNING: Charcoal or similar combustible material must NOT be used
with this grill.
6. Let the grill heat for 2 minutes before adding food. NOTE: When used for
the first time, it is normal for the heating element to have minimal smoke
and/or a slight odor, but that should stop after subsequent use.
13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GRILLING
1. Once the grill is preheated (as directed on the preceding page), place
your food to be grilled on the grate. You can oil the grate first if desired,
but do not use aerosol cooking spray on the grate, as this can damage
the nonstick coating.
2. Adjust the heat level as needed by turning the control dial.
3. Cook foods, flipping once or twice as desired, until done. As you cook,
any liquids, oils, or fats that drip from the food will fall into the water-filled
drip tray, which prevents additional smoke or odors.
4. When the food is done, turn the control dial to OFF and unplug the grill.
WARNING: Do NOT touch the grill plate or drip tray while cooking, as
they are extremely hot.
14
COOKING TIPS
Be sure to preheat the grill for 2 minutes for the best grill marks.
If cooking kebabs on wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for 30
minutes before using.
Cut slits into food before marinating for better flavor.
Marinate meat before grilling for more tender, flavorful results.
Flip meat when it starts to separate from the grill. A sign that meat is ready
to be flipped is when it raises away slightly from the grill plate and starts to
crackle or sizzle. If you try to flip and the meat sticks to the grill, wait another
30 seconds to 1 minute before trying again.
Season with smoked paprika or chipotle to add a smoky flavor.

1. Unplug the grill and allow it to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
2. Remove the temperature control unit from its port. Wipe it down with a
damp cloth if necessary. The temperature control unit is NOT dishwasher
safe and should not be immersed in water or other liquids.
3. Lift o the grill grate, then lift out the drip tray and discard any liquid
remaining in it.
4. Wash the grill grate, drip tray, and unit base by hand with warm, soapy
water, before rinsing and drying thoroughly. The base is also dishwasher
safe.
5. To avoid scratching the nonstick surface, do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaning agents.
6. Let the parts dry completely before reassembling for storage. Store the
temperature control unit and power cord in the unit underneath the grill
grate. WARNING: Do not reassemble and use without thoroughly drying
the electrical port; if not completely dry, it can create an electrical shock
hazard.
