or cleaning. Always turn the unit to STANDBY before
unplugging. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
3. Do not touch the hot surfaces: use oven mitts to handle the
unit.
4. Before using the appliance, move it two to four inches away
from the wall or any object on the countertop. Remove any
object that may have been placed on top of the appliance. Do
not use on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
5. To protect against electrical shock, do not place electrical
equipment in water. (See instructions for cleaning.)
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. If it appears to be damaged, return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
adjustment or repair.

recommended accessories, under the heating elements.
22. Do not place any of the following materials on the indoor grill:
paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.
23. Do not cover any part of the indoor grill with metal foil. This
will cause the appliance to overheat.

appliance.
25. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage
or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance
garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical

SPECIAL CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the 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 a grounding 3-wiring cord, and 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.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the CIG100
Professional Indoor Cast-Iron Grill! Waring Pro products
include a full line of premium countertop appliances that bring
a professional level of quality, ease and performance to home
kitchens.
The CIG100 Professional Indoor Cast-Iron Grill will enable fast,
mess-free cooking in the comfort of your own home. No matter
the season, this appliance makes it easy to cook all of your
favorite grilled foods. Whether you are a master on the grill or just
starting out, Its ease of use and quality will provide that fresh-off-
the-grill taste that you are looking for.
ADVANTAGES
A “seasoned” grill top is created by baking a coat of vegetable
oil deep into the cast iron at a very high temperature. Seasoned
cast-iron grates provide a nonstick cooking surface that you can
brush clean in seconds. The seasoning provides the iron with a
coating that blocks moisture, and keeps the iron from rusting.
Cast-iron grates withstand higher temperatures than normal steel
grates, and like other good cast-iron products the Waring Pro®
Professional Indoor Cast-Iron Grill will last a lifetime if cared for
properly. The more you cook, the better it gets. (Grill surface must
be seasoned prior to rst use.)
