OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit
in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not use an adaptor.
Have an electrician replace the obsolete 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. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
An extension cord should be connected to the appliance first,
before it is plugged into the outlet.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
Grill is intended to be used in the closed position ONLY.
Do not use Sear mode for sandwiches or equivalent food items.
Do not store grill vertically on side or back.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when opening the grill.
