Batch grilling is when you grill more than two consecutive batches of food. It is recommended that you empty the fat/oil from the removable cooking pot between batches. It is also HIGHLY recommended to clean the splatter guard in between uses. This will help prevent grease from burning and causing smoke.

For less smoke, use oils with a high smoke point, like vegetable, coconut, grapeseed or avocado oil instead of olive oil.
If you choose to cook ingredients at a higher temperature with olive oil, it may result in more smoke.

The countdown timer will pause automatically when you open the lid of the unit. Please note that pressing the START/STOP button during cooking will cancel the current cooking function.
