IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 manual.

❑The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑Do not use outdoors. ❑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. ❑Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

❑To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. ❑Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. ❑The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position.

POLARIZED PLUG (FOR US MODELS ONLY)

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.

GROUNDED PLUG (FOR CANADIAN MODELS ONLY)

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.

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 by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or 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 longer 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified

personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

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 of food. Use a fork inserted into the center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grilling plate.) If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS

• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.

• For best results, do not overload the grill.

• When ﬁrst cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before suggested time; if necessary adjust time.

165ºF 74°C

5 – 7 minutes

• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.

• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.

• For added ﬂavor, add dry seasonings or marinate foods before grilling.

Important: Use only silicone, heatproof plastic or wood utensils when cooking on the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor or melt with the high temperature.
