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

(except removable plates) 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. ❑ Be sure that removable plates are assembled and fastened properly. ❑ 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.

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) Longer 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 cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The 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 unintentionally.

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

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.

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.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove all packing material and any stickers.

• Remove and save literature.

• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

• Wash all removable parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly as directed in the CARE AND CLEANING section of this Use & Care manual.

Note: Although the grill plates are dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing to preserve their appearance. In dishwashing the metal will get a cloudy ﬁlm that will not affect the performance but does not look attractive.

• Select a location where this unit is to be used allowing enough space for back of the unit, cabinets and the wall to allow heat to ﬂow without damage to cabinets and walls.

ATTACH GRILL PLATES

The removable plates of your 360 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!

• The top plate is the plate with the arrow. To attach the plate correctly, make sure the arrow is pointing up (B1).

• The bottom plate has no arrow and a sloped section along one side of the plate. To attach the plate correctly, make sure the sloped section of the plate is at the front of the grill (B2).

2. Set plate against frame of grill and release the handles, making sure the latches on each side ﬁt into the openings on each side of the grill (D).

3. If you are still having trouble getting both sides to latch at once, you may wish to latch on one side ﬁrst, and then the other.

4. Once both latches are in place, the plate should be secure.

Note: If you continue to have trouble attaching or removing the plates from your grill, please call toll-free at 1-800-231-9786 and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

Note: When using these grill plates, use the bar at the rear of the grill to lift the back of the bottom grill plate to have the drippings run into the drip tray (E).

Important: This position should only be used when grilling.

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

Important: This appliance should always be used with 2 grill plates securely attached. Caution: Attach all grill plates when the appliance is cool. Important: When attaching the grill plates, be sure they are securely attached using the

GRILLING TIPS

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

• Do not overﬁll the grill; it will hold approximately 4 servings comfortably.

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

• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.

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

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

Care and Cleaning

CLEANING Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

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. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration E). Use plastic 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 as instructed in HOW TO USE (see illustrations B1 and B2). 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 (see illustrations B1 and B2), making sure they are securely attached to grill body.

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.

Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent accidental closing and injury.
