When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance 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 grounding 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 Burn Hazard: Escaping steam may cause burns.

Helpful Tips

ALWAYS PREHEAT BEFORE USING.

Read Use and Care Guide before using.
Use cooking spray for convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if you prefer, brush cooking plates with vegetable oil before preheating.
Use plastic utensils on nonstick cooking plate. Do not use metal utensils since they will damage nonstick surface.
Thicker sandwiches may shift when lid is closed. Use a plastic spatula to reposition. There is no need to press down on handle. The weight of the cover will grill top of sandwich.
Cleanup is easy! Let grill cool down; then loosen any stuck-on food with spatula and wipe cooking plates with damp paper towel.

Care and Cleaning

Unplug and allow to cool.
Use spatula to remove any stuck-on food. Wipe cooking plates with a paper towel to remove drippings.
Slide out drip tray; wash drip tray and spatula in dishwasher or hot, soapy water.
Use a damp sponge with a small amount of dishwashing detergent to scrub cooking surfaces. Rinse out sponge and wipe surfaces clean. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe surfaces again. NOTE: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
DO NOT use “SANI” setting when washing in dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product.
Wipe outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth.
