evenly grill poultry, meats, seafood and
vegetables. Or use half grill/half griddle to
prepare any menu combination—the
possibilities are endless!

Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
