Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into
a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. If the appliance is of
the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type,
3-wire cord. 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
An extension cord should be connected to the appliance first,
before it is plugged into the outlet.
Always use grill on flat surface to ensure grease and oils drain
properly. Use caution when cleaning spilled hot grease. Use caution
when cooking and around splattering grease.
Always use drip tray and make sure it is resting on counter directly
under grill before use.
Never move grill when in use. Unplug unit and let cool before
moving.
Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening the grill.
wCAUTION Burn Hazard: Escaping steam may cause burns.
