Other 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 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
serious 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. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,”
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
14. For units with detachable cooking plates,
do not preheat or operate without cooking
plates installed.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a groundedtype 3-wire 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 a hot mitt to protect hand when
opening the grill.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause
burns.

Tips for Easy Grilling
•
Grill cooking plates must be
installed before preheating.
•
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL
5 MINUTES BEFORE USING.
•
Read the Grill Use & Care Guide
before starting to grill.
•
Grill cooking is so easy because
you can brown meats, cook onions,
grill vegetables, “stir-fry” dishes,
steam fish and toast sandwiches
with little attention from the cook.
•
Use the grill to “prep and cook”
foods for traditional range-top
recipes: brown ground beef for
spaghetti sauce or stir-fry beef strips
for a Chinese dish. Since the grill
cooks top and bottom at the same
time, there’s no need to stir while
cooking.
•
Cook “guilt-free” French fries
without the extra oil or make perfect
French toast that doesn’t need to
be turned during cooking.
•
Use vegetable cooking spray for
convenient, stick-free grilling. Or if
you prefer, brush grill surfaces with
vegetable oil before preheating.
•
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick
grill surfaces. Do not use metal utensils as they will damage the nonstick
surface.
•
Plan ahead for quick meals by freezing boneless chicken breasts and
burger patties for future meals. Place
individual servings on a baking
sheet and freeze. When frozen,
place in plastic bags. To grill, see
the “Grilling Chart” on page 5.
•
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down.
Wipe grill surfaces with damp paper
towel or dish cloth.
