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.
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.
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.
❑The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position.

manual.
• Wipe grill plates with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Wipe dry

between the back of grill and wall to allow heat to flow without damage to
cabinets and walls.
DRIP TRAY

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.
