When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
❑Read all instructions.
❑Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in
water or other liquid.
❑Close supervision is necessary when any 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 the appliance.
❑Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this

GROUNDED PLUG
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into
a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection
of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use.
c) If an 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.
3) Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are
surface marked with the suffix letter “W” and with a tag stating, "SUITABLE FOR
USE WITH OUTDOOR APPLIANCES".
4) The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
5) Store product indoors when not in use – out of reach of children.
6) Do not clean this product with a water spray or the like.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal
of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove
the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only

(see A).
2. Before first use wash the grill plate, drip tray and lid in warm, soapy water.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Important: Do not immerse temperature control probe in water or any other
liquid. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Place the pedestal stand on a flat, level surface.
4. Insert slotted end of lower pedestal tube into hole in center of pedestal stand;
push down firmly.
5. Insert tapered end of upper pedestal tube into top of lower pedestal tube and
screw tubes together.
6. Place grill base on top of pedestal tube assembly through hole in center of grill
base. Rotate slightly so tabs on pedestal tube assembly align with slots in grill
base; always make sure grill base is level.
7. Lift locking latch up so it engages with locking ring
on bottom of grill base and firmly lock into place (B).
8. Slide drip tray into position on grill base using guide
rails.
9. Attach lid handle to lid from the inside.
10. Place lid over grill. Your grill is now ready for use!
1. Turn temperature control probe to OFF position and attach securely into probe
receptacle.
2. Plug into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Align desired temperature setting with indicator light. Place lid securely on
grill.
4. Allow to preheat to desired temperature – approximately 10 minutes. See
SUGGESTED GRILLING CHARTS for more details.
5. Carefully lift lid and place food onto grill; for most food, you will want to cover
it, so place the lid over the grill.

HINTS FOR GRILLING
• Use tender cuts of meat for grilling.
• Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize before grilling.
• To avoid drying out meat and fish, turn only once and do not pierce.
• To turn meat and fish, use a large flat plastic or wooden spatula to support food
while turning.
• For roasting, place meat or chicken to be roasted in a shallow baking pan.
Do not cover pan with a lid or foil. Using oven mitts, carefully place pan on
preheated grill, taking care not to scratch nonstick surface. Place lid on grill.
Note: Just resting a baking container on top of nonstick grill surface will not
damage it.
• Use only plastic or wooden utensils on nonstick surface.
Caution: Grill surfaces are hot during use. Allow grill, grease tray, lid and grill
base to cool completely before handling and cleaning.
USING INDOORS
To use your grill indoors, simply lift grill base off pedestal tube and place on a
heat-resistant surface.
Important: Never use grill without the grill base in place.
Caution: Some countertop finishes are more affected by heat than others;
make sure countertop surface can withstand temperatures of 150°F to prevent
discoloration or other damage to countertop surface.
SUGGESTED COOKING CHARTS
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full
grill of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness and cut being used. Use
a cooking thermometer as a test for doneness. If the food needs longer cooking,
check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
GRILLING CHART
Note: Grill food according to recommended time or until desired doneness. Turn
halfway through cooking time or more often, if necessary.
Tip: Boneless cuts of meat will grill more evenly and will not scratch nonstick
surface.
Tip: Leave lid on during cooking to decrease cooking time and keep food moist
and juicy.
Tip: Let thick cuts of meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
