3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerge cord, plugs or any part of the unit
in water or any liquid.

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 has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service center for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

INSTALLING THE GRILL
1. Before using the grill, make sure that it has not been damaged in any way
during transportation.
2. Place the appliance on a flat surface well out of the reach of children, as high

•the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fitted on
the appliance;
•the power on the outlet is minimum 10A;
•the outlet is suitable for the type of plug fitted on the appliance; if not it
should be changed;
•the outlet is grounded. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for
damage caused as a result of non-compliance with this requirement.
4Before using the grill for the first time, switch it on and let it to heat up in the
