GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like the plug-in drawing (1). An adapter, as in drawing (2), should be used for connecting the appliance plug to two-prong receptacles. The grounding tab that extends from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in the drawing (3) using a metal screw.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada and Europe.

GROUNDING METHOD

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or an electric shock to persons.

**** The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

The cleaning brush features heavy-duty bristles for the initial removal of sediment from the cast iron plates and also features a scraper custom designed to clean in between the ribs as well as the flat surfaces. The Waring® Commercial Panini/Toasting Grill should be cleaned after each use, with warm soapy water.
The exterior of the unit may be cleaned by carefully wiping it with a damp cloth. Clean plates while the unit is warm, using warm soapy water and the cleaning tool provided DO NOT USE COLD WATER ON WARM PLATE.
To clean the drip tray, carefully remove the tray, wash with warm soapy water and dry. The tray must be completely dry before putting back into the unit.
