Before Using the Grill

1. Remove the cooking grate, drip tray and optional warming rack 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 website 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 bracket is resting on the element support bracket.

3. Cover the bottom of the drip tray with a liquid. Water is fine. PLEASE DO NOT USE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID! Doing so would ruin your cookout. Using apple juice if you are grilling pork adds a nice flavor to the meat. A can of lime soda is wonderful if you are grilling fish. 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.

5. Place your cooking grate onto the element with drip tray installed.

6. Preheat grill with the lid closed for 8 – 10 minutes on desired heat setting for type of food:
   • Steak 7-8 bars
   • Burgers 6-7 bars
   • Chicken, Pork and Fish 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. After the grill has cooled to the touch, take a few pieces of wet paper towel and place on the grilling surface. 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.

9. Once the grate has cooled sufficiently, remove the grate and place in your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

10. With the grate removed, lift up the electric elements 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.

11. After you have used your grill many times, you may want to wash the lid. It 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, first 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 and place them into your dishwasher.

13. Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any residue from previous grilling sessions.

14. Your Kenyon grill came with a sample bottle of stainless steel cleaner. Use this cleaner once a month to keep your grill looking like new.

15. Do not remove the control knob for cleaning. 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.

Operation

DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foamtype 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 fire. 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 handled with care and caution while cleaning, as they may be hot enough to cause severe burns.
DO NOT USE POTS OR OTHER BAKEWARE ON THE GRILL
CLEAN GRILL AFTER EACH USE
This appliance is equipped with removable, permanent drip tray. The drip tray MUST be removed and cleaned after each and EVERY use. Do not allow grease to accumulate between cooking. The drip tray and baffle 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 fire hazard.
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
Store indoors when not in use.
TO PREVENT SMOKE
To prevent the contents of the drip tray from smoking, place 3 cups of water (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in the drip tray before cooking.

Grill Parts
Heating Element

Baffle Tray
The baffle tray supports the drip tray, heating element and grate and must always be used when operating the grill.
Drip Tray
The drip tray collects all the fat and juices created during the cooking process. The drip tray must be emptied after each use. When replacing the drip tray, position the drip tray so that it is completely contained ensuring that the side or the rim of the drip tray does not protrude.
To prevent the contents of the drip tray from smoking, place 3 cups of water (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in the drip tray before cooking.
Grate
The grate must be cleaned after every use.
The grate has a nonstick coating for ease of cleaning. Wash the grate after each use in warm soapy water.
Optional Warming Rack
The optional warming rack allows you to create the perfect spot to toast buns or keep burgers or hotdogs warm as you finish grilling the rest of your meal. Lid Removal
The grill lid is removable for cleaning. To remove the lid, ensure the lid is in the “open” position and cool to the touch. Grasp each side of the lid with both hands and slightly angle the lid forward. Lift the lid up and out of the guided cutout. Once the lid is removed, it can be washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher on pots and pans setting.
