reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

DESCRIPTION OF PARTS
1. Top and Bottom Ribbed Grills
2. Hinge
3. Handle
4. Drip Tray
5. Indicator Lights (not shown)
BEFORE FIRST USE
Wash all cooking surfaces with a cloth dampened in warm soapy water to
remove any residue from the manufacturing process.
Season all cooking surfaces with a light coating of vegetable oil. Remove excess
with a paper towel.
HOW TO USE
Place your Salton Indoor Health Grill on a flat heat resistant surface close to a
120 volt wall outlet. Place the Drip Tray in the space provided at the front of the
Grill. Plug into outlet. The red 'power' Indicator Light will glow. With the grill in
the closed position preheat until the green 'Ready' Indicator Light comes on.
Carefully place food on the cooking surface. Use care as some foods may 'spit'
hot oil. The hinge will adjust to the thickness of the food. Cook until done to your
taste. Check progress regularly as food is being cooked rapidly from both top
and bottom. When cooking is completed, remove food and unplug the Grill.
NOTE:
1. The Grill may give off a small amount of smoke and odour when being used
for the first time. This is normal and will disappear after the first use.
2. Do not use metal utensils as they can scratch the non-stick surface.
3. Meat, vegetables, etc. of the same thickness should be cooked at one time.
4. The bone on chops etc. should not be thicker than any part of the meat. The
top grill must come in contact with the top surface of the meat. We suggest
that you turn the meat during the cooking process if the top grill is not making
contact.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards 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
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 of the grounding-type 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
