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:
Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
grounded- type 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.

near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use

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

Grilling Options
The grill may be used in two different ways:
Opened Cover
1. Flip up the support leg, then lift
cover
straight up
(this will
disengage
the locked
hinge).
Support
leg
Closed Cover
This will cook the food on both
sides at the same time. This is
the quickest method.
Open the grill for more grilling surface. This will require a longer
cooking time but you can cook
twice as much.
2. Lower the cover as far as it
will go
to the flat
position.

2. Brush grilling surfaces with oil
or spray with nonstick cooking
spray.

6. When timer rings, use a hot mitt
and carefully
lift grill cover

Tips for Easy Grilling
•
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL
FOR 10 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 vegetable cooking spray for
convenient, non-stick 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 7.
