SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)

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 (CANADA)

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only ﬁt into a threeprong 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

1. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

a) 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.

b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the

extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

c) 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 cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

• Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time. (see COOKING GUIDE)

• When ﬁnished cooking, unplug the appliance to cool.

• Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry the drip tray after each use. Drip tray is dishwasher safe on top rack.

USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT

This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.

COOKING GUIDE

The following chart is meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the food. To be sure your food is cooked, USDA recommends using a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat until the temperature stabilizes.
