This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF

APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

EXTENSION CORDS

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in 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 cord or 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.

NOTE ON THE PLUG

The appliance requires a three-prong plug that has a ground pin. This pin grounds the
appliance to protect from the danger of electrical shock hazards. This pin should never
been snipped off to fit into a two-prong outlet. Altering the plug can cause damage to the
appliance, the outlet and increases the risk of fire or electrical shock. These plugs require
a grounded wall outlet.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly ground outlets only.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – US ONLY

The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should
be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-wire receptacle. The grounding
tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.

INTRODUCTION

The 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle can be used as a Panini press, contact grill, and opened surface grill
or griddle. This product is designed for easy cleaning; the plates are dishwasher safe, drip
pans are included, as well as a scraping tool for minimum cleaning effort.

BEFORE USING YOUR 4-in-1 GRILL/GRIDDLE

Be sure that all packaging material (such as any labels or stickers) have been removed from
the 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle before cleaning or usage. Check to make sure that you have
removed all of the parts of your 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle before you throw away the packaging.
Please note that the shipping process may have left dust on your 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle, be
sure to clean off all dust with a damp cloth. Clean the cooking plates, drip pans and
scraping tool as well.

KNOW YOUR 4-IN-1 GRILL/GRIDDLE

The Base and Cover of the 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle are made of stainless steel and includes a
self-adjusting cover. The panini-style handle is a sturdy cast metal that helps to adjust the
cover for grilling different thicknesses of foods.

The grill plates are great for grilling meats and patties, as well as vegetables. The griddle
plates are perfect to prepare fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon or to sear fish and seafood. The
removable cooking plates are nonstick and dishwasher safe, making clean up easy. The
plate release allows you to remove the cooking plates. The hinge release lets the cover lie
back to cook in the flat position.

The controls on your 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle indicate: “power on” and “ready to cook”. The
Grill/Panini function has a grilling range from “warm to sear”, and the Griddle function has a
temperature range from 200°F to 450°F. The drip cups that come with your 4-in-1
Grill/Griddle collect grease and are dishwasher safe. The scraping tool will help with
clean up after cooking.
