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.

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, electrical repair, mechanical
repair, or adjustment.
7.

8.
The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries or
serious damage to the unit.
9.

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 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 appli-
ance 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.
