CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.
If appliance has a variable heat power cord, it is equipped with a

polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other.
The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

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.

Do not operate this grill without drip pan in place.
Do not cover the drip pan or rack with aluminum foil. The holes in

the drip pan must remain open for proper operation of the grill. The
rack should not be covered to allow proper heat circulation. Do not line
the base with aluminum foil.

Do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with
the grill.

Do not leave this appliance unattended while in use.
Do not use charcoal in this appliance.
Do not use any power cord except the one supplied by Hamilton

Beach/Proctor-Silex with the unit.
WARNING: Heating element is not immersible. To reduce the risk of fire

or electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug, or heating element in
water. Do not place in dishwasher.
