What is that silver coating on the drip tray?
The silver coating (if on your model) is a heat-reflective paint. • What is the drip tray (base) made of? Phenolic, a hard plastic that is heat resistant, or aluminum (depending on your model). • What is the cooking grid made of? Die cast aluminum with a nonstick coating. • Can a degreaser be used to clean the grill? Yes, our Home Economist tested, and it proved to ease the cleanup process and not harm the grill or base. • Can I purchase a variable temperature setting plug to replace my standard plug? If your grill came with a standard plug, a variable temperature plug cannot be used. • Can aluminum foil bags be used on the grill? Yes, and the bags make cleanup easy. Make sure to turn the bag over at least once halfway through the cooking cycle to prevent burning. • Why do the instructions request that I unplug the power cord from the outlet first and then unplug it from the unit? As a safety precaution, units that do not have on/off switches should be unplugged from the outlet first.
