Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

w WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
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 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 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.

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

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 tray and make sure it is resting on counter directly
under grill before use.

Never move grill when in use. Unplug unit and let cool before
moving.

Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening the grill.

w CAUTION

Burn Hazard: Escaping steam may cause burns.

Helpful Tips

• Use plastic utensils on the nonstick cooking plate. Do not use
metal utensils since they will damage the nonstick surface.

• Use cooking spray for convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if
you prefer, brush cooking plates with vegetable oil before
preheating.

• Always preheat before using.

• Thicker sandwiches may shift when the lid is closed. Use a
plastic spatula to reposition. There is no need to press down
on the handle. The weight of the cover will grill the top of the
sandwich.

• Cleanup is easy! Let the grill cool down; then wipe cooking
plates with damp paper towel.
