• Keep connections dry and off ground.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table top or other items where

it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

use sharp tools to remove stickers.

• Wash cooking grate with warm soapy water, rinse and dry
throughly.

Before each use of grill:

• Use grill only on a firm and level surface to prevent tipping
over.

• To prevent household circuit breakers from tripping, keep
electric controller dry and do not use other electrical products
on the same circuit.

• Check grease tray to make sure it is empty and is mounted
under the drain hole.

• For stick-free cooking, apply a thorough coating of vegetable
oil or vegetable oil based spray to the cooking grate.

Turn grill on:

• Ensure electrical controller is turned fully counterclockwise to
the off position.

protected outlet. If extension cord must be used refer to
