5
•Do not use outdoors.
•The cord to this appliance should be
plugged into a 120 V AC electrical outlet
only.
•If this appliance begins to malfunction
during use, turn unit O and immediately
unplug the cord. Then remove the
temperature control probe. Do not use

during use.
•To prevent fire hazards; the grill plate must
be placed in the proper position when

•WARNING: To prevent personal injury or
property damage, the drip pan must be in
place during cooking.
•This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any
way.
•A short power-supply cord (or detachable

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
•Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
•If a long detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord is used: The marked
electrical rating of the 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 a grounding-
type3-wire cord. The longer cord should
be arranged so that it does not drape over
the countertop or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
•Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from
migrating to the finish of the countertop
or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-
PLASTIC coasters or place mats between
the appliance and the finish of the counter
top or table top. Failure to do so may cause
the finish to darken; permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.
•Electric Power: If the electrical circuit is
overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It
should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.
•Save these instructions.

•To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects on the grill cooking
plates.
•CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON
THE COOKING PLATES AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF

DO NOT use steel wool, metal brushes, or other abrasive cleaning tools as they will
damage the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.
•The Grill Plate and the Cooling Drip Tray are dishwasher safe. For best results, place
in the top rack of your dishwasher to clean.

and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not rub vigorously when using a plastic scouring pad and NEVER use a
metal scouring pad as this may damage the non-stick coating.
