Other Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 any
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, repair, or adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries or
damage to the unit.
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.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
13. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,”
then remove plug from wall outlet.
14. For units with detachable cooking plates,
be sure they are secured before cooking.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance has a grounded plug (provided
with a grounding pin). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to only fit
into a grounded outlet. If the plug on this
appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not
modify the plug and do not use an adaptor.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the contact grill.
An extension cord should be connected to
the appliance first, before it is plugged into
the outlet.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when
opening the contact 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 grounded extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the unit. 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.

Helpful Tips and Hints
ALWAYS PREHEAT FOR 6 MINUTES
BEFORE USING.
•
Read the Use & Care Guide before
using the contact grill.
•
Use vegetable cooking spray for
convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if
you prefer, brush cooking grids with
vegetable oil before preheating.
•
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick
cooking grid. Do not use metal utensils as they will damage the nonstick
surface.
•
Thicker sandwiches may shift when
being pressed. Use a plastic spatula
to reposition. Place sandwich in
center of grill.
•
Use caution when pushing down on
the handle, as unit may tip forward
and could burn your hand.
•
When a recipe calls for fruit, lock
the cover in place above the fruit so
that it heats but does not contact
the fruit.
•
There is no need to press down on
the handle. The weight of the cover
will grill the top of the sandwich.
•
Cleanup is easy! Let the grill cool
down then wipe cooking grids with
damp paper towel or dish cloth. The
cooking grids may also be washed
in the dishwasher.
Cleaning
1. Unplug grill from outlet and allow to
cool.
2. Wipe cooking grids with a paper
towel to remove drippings. Use a
plastic spatula to scrape away
cooked-on food or grease.
3. To remove grids for cleaning, hold
tab and press
unlock button
of UPPER grid
first. Release
grid. Repeat
with LOWER
cooking grid.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GRIDS
WITH THE GRILL IN AN UPRIGHT
POSITION.
4. Wash grids in hot soapy water.
Rinse then dry. Grids may also be
washed in dishwasher.
5. Do not use steel wool or any type of
abrasive cleaner to clean the grill, as
it will damage the nonstick cooking
grids and void the warranty.
6. Empty drip cup and wash in hot,
soapy water. Rinse then dry. Drip
cup may also be washed in dishwasher.
7. Replace cooking grids and ensure
they are locked into place. ALWAYS
replace LOWER cooking grid first.
Repeat with UPPER grid.
8. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe
clean the outside of the grill.
9. Store the unit with the storage latch
locked, sitting
upright on the
hinge side,
with drip cup
placed upside
down under
the handle.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
