SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

The Contact Grill function works best when
you want to cook something in a short
amount of time or when you are looking for
a healthy method of grilling. When cooked
on the Contact Grill, food will cook quickly
because you are grilling both sides of the
food at the same time. The ribs on the grill
plates combined with the grease spout at
the rear of the plates allow the grease to
drip from the meat and drain off the plates.
Rest the cover on top of the food until it has
reached the desired cooked temperature.
The Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press was
designed with a unique handle and hinge
that allow the cover to adjust to the
thickness of the food.
You can easily grill anything with even
results, from a thinly-sliced potato to a
sirloin steak.
When cooking more than one food item in
the Contact Grill, it is important that the
thickness of food items be consistent so the
cover will close evenly on the food.
Panini Press
Use the Griddler
®
Grill
& Panini Press as a
Panini Press to grill
sandwiches, breads
and quesadillas.
The word “panini” is
Italian for grilled sandwiches. Panini can
include any combination of ingredients such
as vegetables, meat and cheese layered
between two pieces of fresh-baked bread.
