SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to t into polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not try to modify
the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

Cooking Tips

• If using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before use

to prevent burning.

• Use only plastic, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.

• Never cut food on non-stick surface.

• Cut food into small and equal pieces to ensure more even cooking.

• Frozen food should always be thawed before it is grilled.

• If you grill vegetables, sh or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking

spray before turning on. If you are grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the
