SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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 userserviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

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) 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 extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The extension 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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Before using the grill for the first time, wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust.

ATTACHING THE GRILL PLATES

The removable plates of your grill are designed to fit on the grill one way only. If you are having trouble attaching a plate, do not try to force the plate onto the grill.

Using the release handles:

• Attach the top plate with the arrow pointing up.

• Attach the bottom plate with the sloped section of the plate at the front

of the grill.

Caution: Attach grill plates when the appliance is cool. Important: This appliance should always be used with 2 grill plates securely

attached. Note: If you continue to have trouble attaching or removing the plates from

your gill, please call toll-free at 1-800-231-9786 and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

ADJUSTABLE GRILL ANGLE

When using grill plates, use the bar at the rear of the grill to lift the back of the grill so the drippings run into the drip tray (10).

Important: This position should only be used when grilling.

Place the drip tray under the front sloped section of the bottom plate on the grill. (9)

ATTACHING THE BAKE PAN Important: When using this plate, make sure the appliance is in the completely horizontal position.

• If using the bake pan, securely attach the top grilling plate and bake pan

using the release handles on each side of the plates.

• The bake pan has an indentation at the back of the plate for alignment.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

1. Close the lid on the grill.

2. Unwind the cord and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Both lights on top of the grill will be illuminated. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 7 minutes before grilling. The green light will go off when the grill has reached the preset temperature.

GRILLING Important: The floating hinge position allows for grilling extra thick foods. In this position the grilling plate rests on top of the food.

1. Set to desired cooking temperature

2. Using a pot holder, carefully open the preheated grill.

3. Before first use, if desired, lightly oil the cooking plates.

Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on the nonstick surface. The chemicals that allow the spray to come out of the can build up on the surface of the grill plates and reduce their efficiency.

Important: Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.

4. Carefully place food to be cooked on bottom plate and close the lid.

5. When food is finished cooking, using a pot holder, carefully open the lid.

6. Remove the cooked food using a heat resistant spatula.

Note: Always use heat proof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface of the grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs, forks or knives.

7. Unplug the grill to turn the appliance off.

Important: The heat continues to be ON until the appliance is unplugged.

8. Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry the drip tray after each use.

Note: Be sure the liquid in the drip tray has cooled before removing it from under the grill.

Caution: Do not remove the grill plates while the appliance is hot. Always allow them to cool to room temperature before removing or cleaning.

Care and Cleaning

Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow your grill to cool completely.

1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.

Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

Important: Heating elements will continue to be ON until grill is unplugged.

2. With drip tray under front of grill, use a heat proof plastic, nylon or wood spatula to scrape off any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray. Wipe plates dry with a paper towel or sponge to avoid grease dripping onto your counter when plates are removed.

3. Remove plates using the release handles. To clean grill plates, wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

5. Reinstall grill plates using the release handles, making sure they are securely attached to grill body.

Note: Removable grill plates are also dishwasher-safe. If washing grill plates in a dishwasher, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration. Dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful and can be wiped off with a damp towel.

6. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the grill plates.

Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive

cleaners to clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.

7. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.

8. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be preformed by a qualified electrician.
