POLARIZED PLUG (120V 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.

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.

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

GRILLING TIPS

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

• Do not overﬁll grill.

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

• 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 before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.

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