❑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.

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

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

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 or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

3. Lift handle of the grill cover up and forward into the locking position of ﬂoat & lock hinge.

4. Lower the grill cover into the BROILING position above

the food (J).

5. Allow food to cook for desired time.

6. 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.

GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS

• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently while cooking.

• Do not overﬁll grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.

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

• If cooking more than one piece 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.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualiﬁed service personnel.

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.

Important: Heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off (I/O) switch is pressed or the appliance is unplugged.

2. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration D). 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.
