Please see the Care Instructions tab for important care information.

Please Note: Remove protective plastic film from interior heat shields and discard prior to first use.

Care Instructions:
  • BEFORE FIRST USE: Be sure the Ronco Ready Grill is not plugged in. Wash and dry the removable parts in warm soapy water. Never immerse the machine or the cord in water. Keep at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides and do not place it under a cabinet when in use. A little smoke is normal when you first use the machine.
  • TO DISASSEMBLE -
    Step 1 - Remove the front and back Heat Shields by sliding up and at an angle, wiggling if necessary.
    Step 2 - Remove the left and right side Basket Guides by twisting a quarter turn and then lifting up and out of the grill.
    Step 3 - Remove Drip Tray by sliding it towards you and away from the grill. Remove the top metal plate for thorough cleaning.
  • TO REASSEMBLE, simply reverse the above, ensuring the Basket Guides are repositioned first, before inserting the Heat Shields.
  • With the timer off, unplug your Ronco Ready Grill before cleaning. Allow to cool before removing any parts for cleaning. Dispose of fat from the Drip Tray by allowing to cool and solidify. Remove the front and back reflective heat shields by pulling them up and out of the grill.
  • Heat Shields and Basket Guides: Wash in hot, soapy water. Nylon scouring pads are recommended to remove stubborn buildup. They are dishwasher safe.
  • IMPORTANT: Wash Drip Tray after every use. Built up grease can increase the temperature and result in damage to the Drip Tray base.
  • After several uses there may be a buildup of carbonized grease or fat on the Reflective Heat Shield or Side Heat Shields. Wash off excess fat as instructed above. If necessary, use an oven cleaner, but rinse thoroughly after use.
  • NOTE: Heavy buildups of baked on grease on the Reflective Heat Shields can reduce the cooking efficiency of the Ronco Ready Grill. However, the slight discoloration that may show up after extended use on Reflective Heat Shields and Side Heat Shields will not affect performance in any way.
  • Grill Basket and Drip Tray: Wash in hot, soapy water. Use a nylon scouring pad to remove stubborn buildup.
  • CAUTION: It is NOT recommended that the plastic parts be cleaned in a dishwasher as the high water temperatures and detergents may warp the plastic handles and tray.
  • DO NOT use metal cleaners or oven cleaners as they are too harsh on the steel tray and plastic handles.
  • Ronco Ready Grill Exterior: Wipe over with a damp nonabrasive cloth. To clean front and back stainless steel surfaces, we recommend cleaners or wipes designed specifically for stainless steel surfaces. These cleaners are available at your local grocery or hardware store.
  • CAUTION: Never immerse the Ronco Ready Grill in water or other liquid.
  • DO NOT use steel wool, harsh abrasives or chemical cleaners to clean the exterior of your Ronco Ready Grill as these will damage the surface.

How To Use:
  • Ensure the front and back Heat Shields, the reflective Basket Guides and Drip Tray are clean and correctly positioned. Position both of the Basket Guides first, then the Heat Shields slide between the inner wall and the heating elements. Be sure the stamped "TOP" is visible towards the top of the unit.
  • Drip Tray needs to be pushed all the way in to the back wall. Make sure the metal tray is securely snapped on the bottom plastic tray.
  • Plug into any A.C. power outlet.
  • Turn the timer on to the desired cooking time. Grilling time should be increased or decreased according to thickness of food, texture, color and individual preference. (For juicier results, we recommend preheating your Ronco Ready Grill for three minutes prior to inserting the loaded Grill Basket.)
  • Load the Grill Basket with food. This rack can be folded both ways and is reversible for cooking thin or thick foods. Fold basket to wide setting for normal and thick foods (steak, sausages, chicken, vegetable, etc.). Fold basket to narrow setting for thin foods (bacon, etc.). All food to be grilled should be contained within the limits of the Grill Basket.
  • Lower the Grill Basket into the grill to cook the food. The Grill Basket slides in between the Basket Guides, where the basket and food are supported during cooking. NOTE: Cooking times given in recipes and cooking charts assume the grill has been preheated for three minutes prior to cooking. Cooking times may vary by thickness and size of food used.
  • When grilling pork products and other excessively fatty foods, check your tray periodically and limit the amount in each grill load to prevent grease from overflowing the Drip Tray.
