Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product 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 grounded 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.

CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause burns.

Parts and Features

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the grill plate and cover in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the base in water or other liquid.

How to Grill

WARNING: Burn Hazard.

Always use an oven mitt to protect your hand when opening a hot grill. Escaping steam can burn.

• Plug cord into a wall outlet. The red Power light will glow.

• Slide drip tray under the grill.

• Ensure the grill plate is properly placed on base.

• Set the temperature control dial to the desired heat setting. Preheat with cover closed for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling. Green Ready light will glow when the grill comes to the selected temperature.

• Place food on grill plate; cover. Use only utensils that are high-heat resistant (~450°F/232°C) and safe for nonstick surfaces. This will help prolong the life of the nonstick coating.

• When finished grilling, turn the control to MIN (indicator lights will remain on). Remove the plug from the outlet.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse the base, or cord, or plug in water or any liquid.

• Unplug the grill from the outlet and allow it to cool. Carefully dispose of any grease.

• To remove cover for cleaning: Open cover; gently pull straight up and remove to clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse with water and dry.

• Wash the grill plate, cover, and drip tray in hot, soapy water. Use a nylon or plastic scouring pad and a nonabrasive liquid cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads. Rinse and let dry.

• DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product.

• To replace the cover: Align the inside of the cover piece with the outside base piece; gently slide into position. The cover must remain in a vertical position during removal and replacement.

Grilling Guidelines

• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time will vary based on the temperature of the grid, the surrounding air, and the food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust the cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). The acids in foods can react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use glass, ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.
• Meat Safety Tip: To reduce the risk of spoiling, store meat in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate meat at room temperature, especially in warm climates.
• Food Safety Tip: Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce on cooked foods. The leftover marinade must first be boiled for one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw food that was marinated.
• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use of oil, certain foods will stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before turning on your grill, brush or spray the grill plates lightly with oil or nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated plate—this is dangerous.)
• Always read all safety information.

Grilling Tips

• Cover the grill when preheating or grilling unless the recipe suggests otherwise.
• Please remember that your grill plate is coated with a nonstick surface and that plastic utensils should always be used.
• If grilling vegetables, fish, or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking spray. If grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the plate.
• For best results, preheat the grill with cover closed for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.
• Skewers are available in most large supermarkets. If using the disposable, wooden-type skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 10 minutes before threading on food. This prevents the skewer from scorching and makes a more attractive presentation.
• If using a marinade with oil, place the grill near an exhaust hood. Oil or fat will produce some smoke.
• Marinade or sauces may cook on a grill plate; use a spatula to trim before slicing or cutting.
