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.

❑Be sure removable plates are assembled and fastened properly.

❑To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.

❑Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

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.

cleaners to clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing
pads.

6. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry
cloth.
