Cuisinart GR-1 Recipe Booklet

To clean the Cuisinart GR-1, first unplug it and allow it to cool completely. Wipe the plates with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. The drip tray and scraping tool are dishwasher safe.
If the GR-1 does not heat up, ensure that it is plugged into a functioning outlet. Check the power cord for any damages. If the issue persists, contact Cuisinart customer service for further assistance.
It is not recommended to use metal utensils on the GR-1 plates as they can scratch the non-stick surface. Use wooden or silicone utensils to prolong the life of the plates.
To prevent food from sticking, lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or oil before preheating. Ensure the grill is fully preheated before placing food on it.
Store the GR-1 in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is cleaned and completely dry before storing. You can wrap the power cord around the base for neat storage.
The Cuisinart GR-1 has a preset temperature and does not have adjustable temperature controls. It is designed for optimal cooking at the set temperature.
Uneven cooking can occur if the food is not evenly distributed on the plates. Ensure that the food thickness is consistent and that it is spread evenly across the cooking surface.
While it is possible to cook frozen foods on the GR-1, it is recommended to thaw them first for more even cooking and better results.
To remove burnt residue, unplug the GR-1 and let it cool. Use the included scraping tool to gently scrape off residue. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners.
If the indicator light does not turn on, ensure the GR-1 is properly plugged into a working outlet. Check the power connection and try a different outlet if necessary. If the problem continues, consult Cuisinart support.
