Unplug your electric grill from the wall outlet. Allow the grill to cool completely before proceeding.
Place the drip tray that comes with the grill or a plastic container under the edge of the front of the grill. Use a plastic spatula to scrape loose food particles and grease into the tray.
Wipe the cooking surface of your electric grill with a warm, soapy sponge. The sponge should be moist, not saturated. Periodically rinse the sponge, re-moisten and apply soap to it.
Scrub away any tough stains or burnt-on food with a plastic scouring pad. Use a clean sponge moistened only with water to wipe away any soapy residue. Dry excess moisture from the cooking surface with a paper towel.
Wipe the exterior of your electric grill with a clean, wet sponge. Dry the exterior with a clean, soft cloth.
