Instruction Manual

Before operating your new appliance, please read all instructions carefully and

keep for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

 Read all instructions before operating.
 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
 To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the thermostat control,

power cord, or grill in water or other liquids.

 Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.

 The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries or product damage.

 Do not use outdoors.
 Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
 Do not move the grill while it is in operation.
 Do not leave the product unattended while it is in use.
 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
 Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To

disconnect, turn all controls to the OFF position, then remove the power cord
from the electrical outlet.

 Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they

may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.

 A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material

including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.

 Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and

touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.

 Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other

material other than metal or glass.

 Do not store any materials other than manufacturers recommended accessories

in this unit when not in use.

2



 Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: Paper, cardboard,

plastic and the like.

 Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood and/or laminates,

are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. It
is recommended by countertop manufacturers that a hot pad or trivet be placed
under your appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2)
the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over
by

children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a

polarized plug

(one blade is wider than

the other), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE



 Read instructions carefully.
 Remove all packaging materials; make sure all parts are included and are

in good condition.

 Wash all parts and accessories with warm soapy water, rinse and dry

thoroughly before reassembling for use or for storage. (See “CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE” section for further instructions.)

NOTE: The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke.
This is normal and harmless and comes from the burning of the protective
substance applied to the heating elements during manufacturing. It will disappear
with subsequent use of the product.

 Place grilling pan onto the base assuring the power receptacle fits into

the corresponding opening on the base.

 Push down on the grilling pan, locking it securely to the base. You

should hear a snap as it locks.

3. Connecting the Temperature Selector:

CAUTION: ALWAYS ATTACH THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL TO THE
GRILL FIRST AND THEN PLUG IT INTO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
MAKE SURE THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF”
POSITION BEFORE ATTACHING IT TO THE GRILL.

 Insert the thermostat plug on the thermostat control into the

corresponding socket on the grill; at the same time ensure that the
pins in the thermostat socket are inserted into their corresponding
sockets on the thermostat control switch.

 Ensure that the Thermostat Control is not loose or falling off of the

grill.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION: NEVER TOUCH THE GRILLING SURFACE WHEN THE APPLIANCE
IS IN OPERATION AS IT IS VERY HOT AND DOING SO WILL LEAD TO
PERSONAL INJURY. To protect the premium quality non-stick surface, use only
plastic, nylon or wooden utensils.

1. Assemble the grill.

2. Place the grill and grill base on top of a stable, flat, heat resistant

surface.

3. Spray or brush the grilling surface with your cooking oil of choice.

4. Plug the power cord on the Thermostat Control into the electrical outlet.
Turn the knob to the desired heat setting: “1” being the lowest heat setting
and “5” being the highest. The red indicator light will illuminate. The light
will go off when the grill has reached the selected temperature indicating
that the grill is ready to use.

NOTE: As the temperature of the grill is being maintained, the

indicator light on the thermostat control will turn on and off.

5. Place your food onto the grill to cook.

6. When you are finished cooking, turn the knob to “0” to shut off. Unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet.

7. After the grill has cooled down, disassemble the grill, wash and thoroughly
dry all parts before storing or using again.
