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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

• Do not overﬁll the appliance; 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 before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.

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.
