with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by
using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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.

2

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided

The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Do not store grill vertically on side or back.
Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening the grill.
