IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
4
1. Before using your grill, remove the cooking grate and drip tray from the grill. Wash the
grate 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.
2. Make sure the drip tray is inserted all the way into the bottom of grill and
electric element brackets are not resting on drip tray.
3. Cover the bottom of the drip tray 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 tray prior to grilling.
4. To keep your grill smoke free, always clean the grilling surface after
each use. Simply wash with warm soapy water using a non-
abrasive cloth or place in your dishwasher. Empty the drip tray
and wipe with a damp paper towel. The disposable drip tray can
be used multiple times before replacement is necessary.
5. Place your cooking grate or optional griddle (part #B96000) onto the element with drip tray
installed. Use the griddle for foods such as eggs, pancakes or my favorite - stuffed french toast!
6. Preheat grill with lid closed for 5 to 7 minutes on desired heat setting for type of food.
• Steak 7-8 bars
• Hamburgers 6-7 bars
• Chicken, pork and sh 4-5 bars
• Vegetables 3-4 bars
7. Close the lid and cook. Enjoy the best grilled food you have ever tasted!
8. Clean up. Take a few pieces of paper toweling and place on the grilling surface. Pour about
one ounce of water on the toweling and then using your high temp 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 grate off with a dry paper towel.
9. Once the grate has cooled sufciently, remove the grate and place in your dishwasher for a
thorough cleaning.
10. With the grate removed, lift up the electric element and remove the drip tray. Empty the
contents of the drip tray in an appropriate place. Wipe the tray out with a dry paper towel and
reuse the tray. The tray can last for several uses.
11. After you have used your grill many times, you may want to wash the lid. The lid can be
placed in your dishwasher and run on the pots & pans cycle. This will restore your grill to its
original pristine look.
12. To clean the grill, rst be sure the cooking surface has cooled enough to handle. Then remove
the grate, lift up the electric element until it locks in the up position, then remove the drip tray.
13. Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any residue from previous
grilling sessions.
14. Use a cooktop glass cleaner once a month to protect the stainless. Cerama Bryte Cooktop
Cleaning Kit (A70044) available at www.cookwithkenyon.com
15. Do not remove the control knob for cleaning. A soft cloth can be used to clean under the
skirt of the knob when needed. Do not pour water directly on the knob or under the knob as this
could possibly make its way into the control.
16. Do not submerge the grill in water or other liquid as this will cause an electrical short and
possible shock which may cause death to the user.

Electrical Requirements
Countertop Installation
Your City Grill
®
is supplied with a factory installed polished stainless steel ange that accepts
four 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 acrylic latex caulk. 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 simple take a piece of
shing line and run back and forth under the trim ange to break the caulk bond.
WARNING:
Allow a 2 inch (2”) minimum clearance between the bottom of the grill and combustible
surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the grill (Fig. 6, page
12). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a re hazard.
Check the Electrical Supply Requirements
This product must be installed in accordance with national, state and local electric codes. The
following table provides the correct voltage, amperage and frequency that must be supplied to the
grill.
The supply must be from an individual grounded circuit that is protected by a circuit breaker and
rated per the specications for the model as shown in the table below.
Please read this section prior to making cutout for the grill.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the grill, keeping the
following dimensions in mind (please refer to Figure 5 below).
8
A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above oor
C - The minimum at countertop surface that the grill will
rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall
grill dimensions (refer to the page 8 for overall
grill dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the
grill and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4 inch thick ame retardant mill board covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch thick
stainless steel, 0.024 inch thick aluminum or 0.020 inch
thick copper.
E - 4 inches minimum from back splash of countertop to edge of
grill (refer to the page 8 for overall grill dimensions).
1-1/2 inches minimum from front of counter to grill.

Countertop Cutout DIMENSIONS
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.
Use Plumber’s Putty to seal grill to countertop. Plumber’s Putty is a soft, pliable sealing
compound that is used to make watertight seals around faucets, drains, and other plumbing parts.
The putty is hidden under the ange, lip, or edge of the grill and is not visible when the grill is
installed. If caulk were used instead of putty, it would be difcult to access these areas to cut
through the caulk to remove the part.
Plumber’s Putty is a very inexpensive material that is sold in small plastic tubs. It is always
shaped by hand before it is applied to the plumbing part. Follow the basic instructions on the
container of the Plumber’s Putty. If your countertop is made of granite, marble, quartz, sandstone
or Corian use a stain-free Plumber’s Putty to prevent the staining of the countertop.
WARNING:
To eliminate the risk of burns from reaching over heated grill, cabinet storage space
located above the grill 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 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see that the grill will clear the
front and side walls of the base cabinet. Also check for proper clearance to the back splash so
that the lid can open fully.
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 overheat an
improperly ventilated area.

For your convenience, the grill is equipped with a 1/8” NPT brass pipe
tting and 90º brass elbow which you can attach the 1/4” ID exible
hose that came with your grill. The portable version of the grill comes
with a brass pipe plug installed in the drain tting. If you are using your
grill as a portable unit, save the hose and 90º brass tting for possible
installation in the future.
Be sure the electrical outlet intended for the grill is in an easily
accessible location. This allows the user to easily plug and unplug
the grill. This is necessary to ensure safe cleaning and storage of
the 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.
