Before Using the Grill
Remove the cooking
grates and drip trays
from the grill. Wash the
grill with warm soapy water
using a non-abrasive cloth.
USE ONLY HIGH TEMP
PLASTIC UTENSILS
WHEN GRILLING. Visit
our web site to purchase a
set of high quality stainless
steel/high temp plastic grill
utensils, www.cookwithkenyon.com.
Make sure the drip trays are inserted all
the way into the bottom of grill and electric
element brackets are resting on the element
support bracket.
Cover the bottom of the drip trays with a
liquid. Water
is ne. PLEASE
DO NOT USE A
FLAMMABLE
LIQUID! Doing so
would ruin your
cookout. Using
apple juice if you
are grilling pork
adds a nice avor
to the meat. A can
of lime soda is
wonderful if you are grilling sh. Just remember
always add liquid to the drip trays prior to
grilling.
To keep your grill smoke free, always clean
the grilling surfaces after each use. Simply
wash with warm soapy water using
a non-abrasive cloth or place in your
dishwasher. Empty the drip trays and
wipe with a damp paper towel.
Place your cooking grates or optional
griddles (part #B96000) onto the element
with drip trays installed. Use the griddles for
foods such as eggs, pancakes or my favorite -
stuffed french toast!
Preheat grill with the lid closed for 5 - 7
minutes on desired heat setting for type of
food:
• Steak - Temp setting 550˚F/ Power setting 16
• Burgers - Temp setting 500˚F/ Power setting 9
• Pork and Fish - Temp setting 400˚F/ Power setting 5
• Vegetables - Temp setting 350˚F/ Power setting 4
Close the lid(s) and cook. Enjoy the best
grilled food you have ever tasted!
Clean up. After the grill has cooled to the
touch, take a few pieces of paper towel and
place on the grilling surface. Pour about one
ounce of water on the towel and then using your
high temperature nylon tongs, swab the paper
toweling back and forth to loosen up the residue
from your grilling. Throw the paper towel away
and wipe the grates off with a dry paper towel.
Once the grates have cooled sufciently,
remove the grates and place in your
dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
With the grates removed, lift up the electric
elements and remove the drip trays. Empty
the contents of the drip trays in an appropriate
place. Wipe the trays out with a dry paper towel
and reuse the trays.
After you have used your grill many times,
you may want to wash the lids. They can be
placed in your dishwasher and run on the pots
& pans cycle. This will restore your grill to its
original pristine look.
To clean the grill, rst be sure the cooking
surface has cooled enough to handle. Then
remove the grates, lift up the electric elements
until they lock in the up position, remove the
middle grate support cross bar, then the drip
trays. The grate support cross bar is removed
by lifting the rear and pulling the front notch off of
the supporting tab. To install the support reverse
the procedure. Do not cook on the grill without
the support cross bar in place!

Before Using the Grill
Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp
cloth to remove any residue from previous
grilling sessions.
Use stainless steel cleaner once a month to
keep your grill looking like new. Cerama Bryte
Stainless Steel Polish Kit (A70045) available at
www.cookwithkenyon.com.
The touch control area is ceramic glass
which is sealed from the effects of rain,
snow and ice. To clean the glass, use a glass
cleaner and soft towel. If stains appear, use a
ceramic glass cleaner which can be found in
your local grocery store.

Operation
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Smother re or ame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch the grate or element of the grill.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder.
DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN GRILL GRATE
OR GRIDDLE
If the grate should break, grease and oils
may come into direct contact with the electric
element and create a risk of electric shock or
re. Contact an authorized service center or
KENYON Customer Care immediately at
(860) 664-4906.
CLEAN GRILL WITH CAUTION
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills
on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read the
cleaner label for details prior to using.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENT
OR GRATE
The heating element and grate will be hot for
some time after cooking. These components
should be allowed to cool and then be handled

CLEAN GRILL AFTER EACH USE
This appliance is equipped with removable,
disposable drip trays. The drip trays MUST be
removed and cleaned after each and EVERY

between cooking. The drip trays and bafe
tray MUST be used when cooking on the
grill. Excessive grease may spill over into the
interior of the grill, voiding your warranty and
posing a re hazard.
NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED AT
HIGH HEAT SETTINGS
High heat setting may cause heavy smoking
and ignite grease.
DO NOT CLEAN UNIT WITH PRESSURIZED
WATER
Never clean the grill with any form of
pressurized water or other types of cleaners.
Doing so will void the warranty and may pose
a serious risk of electric shock. Always clean
the grill with a cloth and a stainless steel or
glass surface cleaner.
STORAGE
Suitable shelter must be provided to prevent
direct exposure to rain. Covers available at
www.cookwithkenyon.com.
TO PREVENT SMOKE
To prevent the contents of the drip trays from
smoking, place 2 cups of water (or enough to

Grill Parts
Heating Elements
The heating elements are designed to pivot as
shown to remove/replace the bafe tray and drip
trays. They will stay in the up position. To put
down apply slight downward pressure.
Bafe Tray
The bafe tray supports the drip trays, heating
elements and grates and must always be used
when operating the grill. The cross bar must
also be installed to support the elements and
grates.
Drip Trays
The drip trays collect all the fat and juices
created during the cooking process. The drip
trays must be emptied after each use. When
replacing the drip trays, position the drip trays
so that they are completely contained inside the
bafe tray and insuring that the side or the rim
of the drip trays do not protrude outside of the
bafe tray.
To prevent the contents of the drip trays
from smoking, place 2 cups of water (or
enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in
the drip trays before cooking.
Grates
Grates must be cleaned after every use. The
grates have a nonstick coating for ease of
cleaning. Wash grates after each use in warm
soapy water.

Your Big American Grill™ is supplied with a
factory installed polished stainless steel ange
that accepts eleven oval head wood screws for
mounting. The trim ange of the grill is designed
to hold the unit rmly in place in the countertop.
If desired, you may seal the edge of the
countertop beneath the trim ange. We
recommend a NON-ADHESIVE such as
plumbers putty. This will help reduce the chance
of damage to the trim ange should the unit
need to be removed from the countertop. Should
you need to remove the unit from the countertop
after installation simply take a piece of shing
line and run back and forth under the trim ange
to break the caulk bond.

below the grill (see page 18). Failure
to provide proper clearances and
ventilation may result in a re hazard.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION PRIOR TO
MAKING CUTOUT FOR THE GRILL.

Installation
WARNING!
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for
clearance. Check to see if the grill will clear
the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It
is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the grill. Heat transferred from
the grill bottom pan during operation will over-
heat an improperly ventilated area.
2 INCH (51mm) MINIMUM
Since the appliance requires a sufcient supply
of fresh air to operate at maximum performance,
the cabinet must be designed accordingly. The
following is required for this:
• The cabinet must have a minimum of two
openings; one to allow fresh air to enter and the
other for hot air to escape the cabinet.
• Opening sizes must be equal to 8 square
inches each. This is for ambient temperatures
of 85ºF / 30ºC and below. If the ambient
temperature around the appliance is above 85ºF
/ 30ºC then larger ventilation opening sizes may
be required.
When making countertop cutout, radius the
corner to help prevent cracking of the countertop
material. A 1/4 inch radius is typical, but follow
the countertop manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the minimum radius and any
reinforcements required to prevent damage to
the countertop over time.
If your countertop is made of solid surface
material you will need to check with the
manufacturer for specic recommendations for
cooktop & grill installation instructions. Most
solid surface countertop manufacturers require
additional corner supports to prevent damage
to the countertop. Use the included screws to
secure the grill to the countertop. Be careful not
to over-tighten the screws. Use plumbers putty
to seal the ange to the countertop.
If your countertop is made of stone you will
need to use an acrylic latex to mount the grill
in place. Put a large bead of caulk around the
cutout opening and place the grill in place. Wipe
away any excess caulk, use water to remove
the excess caulk. Allow the caulk to dry for a
minimum of 24 hours without any moisture being
allowed to come in contact with the caulk. Do
not use the screws that came with your grill. The
caulk will hold the grill securely. Do not use a
caulk which contains silicone as this will stain the
stone.

For your convenience, the grill is equipped
with a 1/2” NPT brass pipe tting and 90º
brass elbow which you can attach the 5/8” ID
exible hose that came with your grill.

Remove the protective plastic lm from the
lid, trim ange and glass panel. Clean the grill
before you use it for the rst time. A thorough
cleaning with a stainless steel or glass cleaner
will remove any traces of plastic lm adhesives
and manufacturing oils.
Wash the nonstick coated grates in warm
soapy water before using the grill.
