IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns or other injury or damage, follow
these instructions carefully. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not immerse appliance, cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer assistance number for information on examination, repair or electrical
or mechanical adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries or
serious damage to the unit.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,”
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
14. For units with detachable cooking plates,
be sure they are secured before cooking.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a groundedtype 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type of
plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding pin by
modifying the plug in any way.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not
immerse the grill in water.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with the grill.
The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary a
grounded type 3-wire extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the grill. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
An extension cord should be connected to
the appliance first, before it is plugged into
the outlet.
CAUTION: Escaping steam can burn. Always
use a hot mitt to protect hand when opening
the grill.
