Handing Precautions and Maintenancefor the Higo－Griller①

Water Basin, Feed Water

Make sure to add water to the basinso that it is at least 2/3 before using
the grill.

The water basin is used as a place for moisture,juice,etc.
to drop into from above without catching on fire, soplease make sure that the water basin always has waterin it. (If the water basin runs out of water, the water basin may
become deformed or the transformer may
explode due to the water basin being empty.)
If you allow grease to collect while using the griller, thegrease may boil and begin to splatter. Be sure to change the water
periodically to prevent this from occurring ( as splattering greasepresents a fire hazard.)
Once you have finished using the griller for the day, make sure
to remove the water basin and clean it thoroughly using a neutral
detergent or other appropriate solution.

NO.2②Switches
The switches each have three
Different settings( High,850℃(1562゜F) , Medium, 600℃
(1112°F); and Low, 450℃(842°F))
Please do not splash water onto theswitches or touch them with wethands.

NO.3③Heater
While a heating coil is turned on andred‐hot, any moisture, juice,etc.
the drips onto it from above will beburned away,
so the heating coil will not become
dirty. However, allowing juice, etc.
that has dripped onto a heating coilwhen it is not in use to remain for long periods of time
may accelerate the corrosion of the heating coil.
In order to keep the heating coils clean, be sure to turneach on High for 3 or 5 minutes at the end of the daywith water in the water basin to burn off any juice,etc.
that has dripped onto the heating coils.(The juice,etc.
on the heating coils will be burned off, leaving behindclean heating coils.)

NO.4
You can clean a heating coil merely
by turning it on to High for a few
minutes, or you can clean it by lightly
tracing the surface of the heating coilwith a cloth, etc. that has beenthoroughly squeezed dry, after
making sure that the heating coil has cooled completely.
(This will also help to lengthen the life of the heatingcoil.)
Juice,etc.may also drip onto theparts (tabs) supporting the heatingcoils, so be sure to wipe these off
with a close, etc. periodicallywithout using metal or the like toclean them.

NO.5

Do not place metal objects directly
on top of allow them to drop onto
the heating coils. Allowing metal
objects to come into contact withthe heating coils may cause thecoils to short‐circuit. Even if the heating coils do notshort‐circuit, they may become damaged, which may
cause them to break soon after the damage occurs.
If you accidentally drop a metal object onto one or moreof the heating coils, immediately turn off the switch tothe affected heating coil or coils and take action toresolve any problems.
Even if part of a person´s boby should contact one of
the heating coils through a piece of metal, there is norisk of electric shock, so griller can be used safety
and without.

NO.6④OtherDo not ever use charcoal( bincho‐tan charcoal or oga‐tan charcoal briquettes) with the griller as doing
so may cause the griller to malfunction or cause a fire
to break out.
Higo‐grillers are electrical devices
and as such, it is imperative thatyou never use water directly on themachine or wash it with water.
Take extra precautions not to letwater even get near the machine
Itself, even if the water would not appear to directly
contact the mashine. (Allowing water to make contact
with the machine may cause the transformer to explode)NO.7

Do not use water directly on thegriddle plate or outer plate to washthem. Wipe away dirt with a wet
cloth

using

adish ‐ washingdetergent for kitchen use; do not use
a vaporizer,etc.
Turning the feed‐water knob
( the orange‐colored plastic part)too forcefully may damage it, so besure to slowly when using it.

NO.8

The drain hose is made of a PVC
material and may become damaged
if hot water is repeatedly made toflow through it. When draining
water, be sure to first add cold waterand allow it to cool before letting it drain out throughthe drain hose.
Using the griller for long periods of time will cause theunit to suffer needless wear, so be sure to turn it off
when not using it (which will also lead to a reduction incosts)

NO.9
Thank you for purchasing a Higo‐griller.
We hope that you will make sure to follow theprecautions detailed above so that you can continue toenjoy many long years of use of your Higo‐griller.
