Tips for reducing
smoke & splattering
Always use the recommended grill settings
Our chef-designed temperature settings maximize grill flavors and textures while minimizing smoke.
Cooking food at a higher temperature than recommended will result in more smoke and food having
a burnt, acrid flavor.
For best results, wait until the unit preheats and displays the message “Add Food”.

Not recommended:

Recommended:
Always use the recommended fat/oil
Applying oil to food or the grill or flat plate can
improve NON-STICK performance during cooking.
If using oil, we recommend using oils with high
smoke points instead of olive oil.
Brush 1-2 tablespoons of oil to grill or flat plate
before cooking.
