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.

Helpful Tips
ALWAYS PREHEAT BEFORE USING.
• Read Use and Care Guide before using.
• Use cooking spray for convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if you
prefer, brush cooking plates with vegetable oil before preheating.
• Use plastic utensils on nonstick cooking plate. Do not use metal
utensils since they will damage nonstick surface.
• Thicker sandwiches may shift when lid is closed. Use a plastic
spatula to reposition. There is no need to press down on handle.
The weight of the cover will grill top of sandwich.
• Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down; then loosen any stuck-on
food with spatula and wipe cooking plates with damp paper
towel.

base in water or any liquid.

with a paper towel to remove drippings.
3. Slide out drip tray; wash drip tray and spatula in dishwasher or
hot, soapy water.
4. Use a damp sponge with a small amount of dishwashing
detergent to scrub cooking surfaces. Rinse out sponge and wipe
surfaces clean. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe surfaces again.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive
cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed
objects for cleaning.
5. DO NOT use “SANI” setting when washing in dishwasher.
