Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns or other injury or damage, follow these instructions carefully. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse appliance, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
5. 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.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Hamilton Beach/ Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries or serious damage to the unit.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. Do not use this unit near oven, heater or fireplace.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded­type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin by modifying the plug in any way.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the grill in water.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the grill.
The length of the cord used on this appli­ance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the grill. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
An extension cord should be connected to the appliance first, before it is plugged into the outlet.
Always use grill on flat surface to ensure grease and oils drain properly. Use caution when cleaning spilled hot grease. Use cau­tion when cooking and around splattering grease.
Always use drip cup and make sure it is properly installed before use.
It is not recommended to move grill when in use. Unplug unit and let cool before moving.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when opening the grill.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause burns.

Variable Heat Model
*Variable Heat Grill
(available on select models) The Variable Heat model offers 3 heat
settings: Low, Medium, and High, and the settings in between.
The recipes and Grilling Chart were developed using the High setting. However the additional heat settings can be used for even more versatile grilling options.
The Medium setting can be used for thick cuts of meat or bone-in cuts that should be thoroughly cooked, such as pork or poultry. These settings will assure proper cooking without drying out the meat.
The Low setting should be to hold food at serving temperature.

Operating Instructions
BEFORE FIRST USE: Please wash the cooking surfaces of the grill as instructed under “Cleaning.”
1. Plug the grill into an outlet. The ON light comes on when the grill is plugged in.
2. Brush grilling surfaces with oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Preheat 6 minutes with cover closed. Variable Heat Grill: Select heat set­ting before preheating. See page 3 for more information.
4. When preheated, raise grill cover. Place food to be cooked onto grill and lower grill cover. Always use grill with drip cup in place.
5. Use a hot mitt and carefully lift grill cover and check food to see if cooked to desired degree. Do not cut food on nonstick grilling surface.
6. When food is cooked to desired
degree, remove the food and unplug the grill. Let cool slightly before cleaning.
NOTE: Meats cooked on a contact grill will have more of a steamed, rather than grilled, appearance.
Tips for Easy Grilling
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL 6 MINUTES BEFORE USING.
Read the Grill Use & Care Guide before starting to grill.
Grill cooking is so easy because you can brown meats, cook onions, grill vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes, steam fish and toast sandwiches with little attention from the cook.
Use the grill to “prep and cook” foods for traditional range-top recipes: brown ground beef for spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips for a Chinese dish. Since the grill cooks top and bottom at the same time, there’s no need to stir while cooking.
Cook “guilt-free” French fries without the extra oil or make perfect French toast that doesn’t need to be turned during cooking.
Use vegetable cooking spray for convenient, stick-free grilling. Or if you prefer, brush grill surfaces with vegetable oil before preheating.
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick grill surfaces. Do not use metal utensils as they will damage the nonstick surface.
Plan ahead for quick meals by freezing boneless chicken breasts and burger patties for future meals. Place individual servings on a bak­ing sheet and freeze. When frozen, place in plastic bags. To grill, see the “Grilling Chart” on page 5.
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down. Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper towel or dish cloth.
