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. All repairs must be completed by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly quality persons in order to avoid a hazard.
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 grounded- type 3­wire 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
*Adjustable Temperature
Contol
(available on select models)
The Adjustable Temperature Control 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 used to hold food at serving temperature.
*Removable Grids
