POLARIZED PLUG Ginnys.com • 1.800.544.1590
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to t a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer 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.

ASSEMBLY
Before Using for the First Time:
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe down all parts with a damp cloth.
Assembly:
1. Place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Place the Grill Plate (2)/Hot Pot (6) on top of the Cool Touch Base (1). Make
sure that it is properly fixed into place.
3. Slide the Oil Drip Tray (7) into place as shown in the illustration.
4. Pour water (to the MAX fill line) into the Oil Drip Tray (7) to reduce smoke
while cooking.

7
1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Pour water (to the MAX fill line) into the Oil Drip Tray (7). Do NOT pour water
onto the heating element. Place Oil Drip Tray (7) under the heating elements.
3. Adjust the Variable Temperature Control (5 or 8, depending on which function
you are using) to desired cooking setting (1 is 160°F, 5 is 480°F).
NOTE: If you are using the Hot Pot (6), the Stainless Steel Cooking Pot (4) is
optional.
NOTE: It is best to use the Glass Lid (3) with steam vent to prevent splatters
while cooking with the Stainless Steel Cooking Pot (4).
NOTE: During initial use, you may notice some smoke when the unit is first
turned on. This is normal and will eventually go away.
4. Place the food you are cooking on either the Grill Plate or in the Hot Pot
(depending on which feature you are using).
5. Use heat-safe nylon or wooden cooking utensils when cooking. Metal utensils
will scratch the nonstick finish.
6. Turn to “OFF” after use.
1. Make sure that the Variable Temperature Controls (5, 8) are in the “OFF”
position.
2. Allow the Combo Cooker to cool completely before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
3. All parts except for the Cool Touch Base with Heating Element (1) are
dishwasher safe. Do NOT immerse the Cool Touch Base with Heating Element
(1) in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
4. Use nylon or wooden tools to clean the nonstick surface. Do NOT use abrasive
cleaners as they may scratch the nonstick coating.
