WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Wipe the non-stick cooking plate with a clean wet cloth, and wipe dry
2. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
3. Check that the drip tray is clean, empty and in place under the oil/grease drip
indentation.
4. The appliance may give off some smoke or odor when you use it for the first time.
This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your
appliance.
USING YOUR CHEFMAN GRILL
1. Place the device on a flat, dry and heat resistant surface.
2. Check that the drip tray is clean, empty and in place under the oil/grease drip
indentation.
3. With the thermostat set to the “Min” position, plug the appliance in. The red
indicator light will illuminate.
4. Turn the knob to desired temperature level. When the appliance reaches the desired
temperature, the green pilot light will illuminate and grill is ready to be used.
NOTE: In order to speed up the pre-heating process, keep the plates of the appliance closed.
Pre-heating the appliance with closed plates will also enable even temperature distribution
on the grill plates.
Important: When the green indicator light illuminates ensure grill plates are open. The
unit may overheat when grill is closed and no food is being cooked or grilled.
5. Use the handle to lift the upper plate. Place food on the bottom cooking plate by
using wooden or plastic (heat resistant) utensils.
6. Close the upper plate. Do not apply any pressure.
NOTE: The green indicator light turns on and off as the unit cycles to maintain the ideal
heating temperature; this prevents overheating and is completely normal.
When finished cooking or grilling, adjust the temperature dial to the “MIN” position, unplug
the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning or storing.
WARNING:
Do not touch hot surfaces, always use the handle.
Do not cook frozen food and do not attempt to defrost frozen food in the grill. All
food must be fully and completely defrosted before cooking with this appliance.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use the locking clip to lock the upper plate when there is food
between the plates.
