Browning meat before slow cooking is an optional step. It is beneficial, as it adds flavor and color, but the step can be omitted if time is short. Exception: ground meats which must be browned. The baking pan was designed specifically for use in this grill. We do not suggest using it on the stove or in the oven. All removable parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. Do not immerse in water, or put the grill housing in the dishwasher. Clean the grill housing and control panel with a clean, damp cloth. While the baking pan and grill plate do have a nonstick coating, it is possible for food residue to burn onto the baking pan and grill plate, making it difficult to remove. If food has burned on, fill baking pan or grill plate with warm, soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning. If scouring is necessary, use a nonabrasive cleanser or liquid detergent with a nylon pad or brush. 9
