CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for indoor household use only.
Short Power Supply Cord Information
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If an 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. The cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If the appliance is of
the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong
grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance
has a plug that looks like sketch A. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for
connecting sketch A-type plug to two-ground receptacles. The grounding tab,
which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C, using a metal screw.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When using for the first time, thoroughly wash and then dry the baking grids.
2. Plug unit into 110-120 volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is new, you may notice
a slight smoking or odor. This is normal and will not recur. The blue light will
glow, indicating that the baker has begun preheating.
3. Baking temperature is reached in approximately 8-10 minutes. When the baking
temperature is reached, the blue light will turn OFF. After this point, you will see
the light go ON and OFF. This means that the baking temperature is being
maintained, and is not telling you when to start or stop baking.
4. Now you are ready to grill meats and vegetables.
Note: When baking never use metal utensils, which can damage the non-stick
surface of the grids. Let only wood or plastic utensils contact the non-stick
surface.
5. When finished, remove the plug from the wall socket. Let cool.
6. See clean up instructions further on in this booklet.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Marinate meat for added flavor and tenderizing.
2. Avoid meat with bone. Bone prevents grill from contacting meat evenly and
results in uneven cooking.
3. Thinner parts of fish or chicken should be folded under thicker part to prevent
over-cooking.
4. Thinner fish like sole and flounder should be cooked on an open griddle.
5. Brush fish with oil or brush the grill to prevent sticking.
6. Select foods of even thicknesses for consistent cooking.
NOTE: Allow 50% additional time when grilling frozen steaks and fillets.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. When you are finished baking, unplug from the wall outlet. Leave the baker
open and allow to cool. Never immerse in water.
2. After cooling, remove grids and wash in hot soapy water, or wash grids in the
dishwasher. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-
stick coating.
3. For food that is baked-on or otherwise difficult to remove, pour a little cooking
oil onto the hardened food. Wipe off after a few minutes, when the food has
softened. Do not use metal utensils, which can damage the non-stick coating.
4. Wipe the outside with a soft cloth only. Do not use any abrasive scouring pad or
steel wool, as this will damage the housing finishes.
CAUTION: Do not immerse electrical appliance in water or any liquid.
Do not place electrical appliance in dishwasher.
