SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (USA/Mexico)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning
: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Note:
If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.
PREHEATING THE GRILL
• Close lid and plug cord into outlet.
• Allow grill to preheat 3 minutes before grilling. When desired temperature is
reached, the orange “ready” indicator light turns off.
GRILLING
• Using a pot holder, carefully open the preheated grill.
Note
: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surface.
Chemicals that allow spray to come out of a can build up on surface of grill
plates and reduce their efficiency.
• Carefully place foods to be cooked on lower grilling plate. Close lid.
Note
: Do not overload grill.
• Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time.
• When finished cooking, unplug the appliance.
• Using pot holder or oven mitts carefully open lid.
Note
: Always use heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid
scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs,
forks or knives.
• Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and
dry the grease tray after each use.
CARE AND CLEANING

completely.
