Cautions and Safeguards  
Sufficient Electrical Power  
Operating more than one appliance on the same circuit might cause  
that circuit to overload, overheat and shut down. Circuit overload can  
be avoided by operating the Ultimate Grill on a circuit that is free of  
other appliances.  
Short Cord Instructions  
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is  
provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a  
longer cord.  
Cleaning  
Never immerse the appliance or its electrical cord in water or liquid of  
any kind. Once the Ultimate Grill is unplugged and thoroughly cooled,  
please remove the fat trapper and clean after each use. You may place  
the removable cooking plates and fat trapper into a dishwasher,  
or wash by hand in warm soapy water. Never clean any part of the  
Ultimate Grill with abrasive cleaners or caustic solutions. Once  
unplugged and properly cooled, all surfaces of the Ultimate Grill may  
be cleaned with a mild soapy solution and a damp cloth. All surfaces  
and parts must be thoroughly dry before next use. Any other servicing  
should be performed by an authorized service representative.  
Counter Surface Warning  
Operating the Ultimate Grill on some tabletop and counter surfaces  
might result in discoloration of those surfaces due to the heat. You  
may avoid this by putting a placemat that is both heat and flame  
resistant between the counter surface and the grill.  
Easy Storage  
The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill has been designed to be stored in a  
folded upright position. This design takes much less room than other  
appliances that lie flat. Before storing, make certain that the Ultimate  
Grill is unplugged and thoroughly cooled and cleaned.

Using Your New  
Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill  
1. Make certain you have selected a location that is safe for grilling in accordance with  
the safety instructions in this owner’s manual. Place grill on countertop cooking  
surface in the flat position, with the carrying handle to your left and the temperature  
control knobs facing you.  
ꢀ. Depress Grill Release button as shown in Figure A and lift top grill surface until it  
is at a right angle with the bottom grill surface.  
ꢁ. Locate the two black buttons near center hinge as shown in Figure B. Depress and  
hold both of those buttons while lowering the upright grilling surface to a flat  
position on the counter top.  
 
ꢂ. Select the proper grilling plates that you will be using for your first grilling experience.  
Ex: Grilling Hamburgers both sides at once requires 2 channeled grilling plates  
(Figure C). Locate the two metal lock tabs (Figure D) along the outer rim of the grill  
near the handle. Select a grilling plate and gently slide it under those tabs. Holding the  
grilling plate at the opposite side, lower it into position and gently press the back edge  
until you feel the plate snap into position. Repeat this on opposite cooking surface.  
Note: To release the grilling plate from its locked position once it is thoroughly cooled,  
simply press the black round button (Figure E) and remove the grilling plate for easy  
clean up.  
ꢃ. The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill has been shipped with 2 unique Fat Trapper cassettes.  
They are located just below the handles and under the grilling surfaces (Figure F).  
These cassettes trap the unhealthy fat that will run into the channeled surface of  
the grilling plates. It is important that you remove, clean and replace these every  
time you use your grill for steaks, burgers, bacon or any food that uses the channeled  
grilling plates. Failure to replace the Fat Trappers may result in damage to the unit.  
 
ꢄ. Now you’re ready to grill. Check both Temperature Dials (Figure G), making sure  
they are in the OFF position. Insert the power cord into the socket (never use an  
extension cord). The RED light next to each Temperature Dial will illuminate.  
Note: If lights fail to come on, unplug the grill and test the outlet. If the outlet is  
functioning properly do not use the grill and immediately contact customer services.  
ꢅ. Set desired grilling temperature for each grilling surface.  
Ex: For 8 oz hamburgers cooked both sides at once, select 175˚ C on both dials. If  
grill has just been plugged in, allow a few minutes for grill surface to reach proper  
temperature.  
Note: You may grill up to 12 burgers if you use the grill in the open position. However,  
you will have to flip the burgers and increase the cooking time accordingly.  
8. Place burger(s) on Left Grill Plate. Lift Right Grill plate by handle and lower to cover  
burgers while pressing the two black release buttons (Figure B). Wear an oven mitt  
and avoid touching grilling surface. The Floating Hinge (Figure H) adjusts the grilling  
surfaces to accommodate the thickness of the food. Slide the switch to the unlock  
position and then pull up to the height desired, then slide the switch to the locked  
position. The cooking times suggested in this manual or in the recipe book may be  
adjusted to personal taste.  
9. When food is thoroughly cooked, make sure that the grill handle is facing you,  
push button (Figure A) to open grill to the right angle position and remove the  
food. Wear an oven mitt and avoid touching grilling surface.  
10. Quick Easy Clean Up… Return Temperature Dials to the OFF position. Remove the  
AC plug from the wall socket. ALLOW TIME FOR UNIT TO COOL THOROUGHLY.  
Gently remove the Fat Trapper(s) and grilling plates and place them in  
the dishwasher.  
Note: To release the grilling plate from its locked position once it is thoroughly cooled,  
simply press the black round button (Figure E) and remove the grilling plate for easy  
clean up.
