IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

•  Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cords, plugs, or appliances in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
•  Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
• The appliance is only to be operated in a closed position.

SAVE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (FOR US MODELS ONLY)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 attempt to modify the plugin anyway.

GROUNDED PLUG (FOR CANADIAN MODELS ONLY)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent the removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1.  The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3.  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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

GRILLING

1. Using a potholder, carefully open the preheated grill.

2. Before first use, if desired, lightly oil grill plates.
   Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surfaces. Chemicals that allow spray to come out of can build up on the surface of grill plates and reduce
   their efficiency.

3. Carefully place foods to be cooked on a lower grilling plate. This grill accommodates up to 2 servings.
   Note: Do not overload the grill.

4. Close the cover and allow food to cook for the selected time. If desired, use a kitchen timer.

   Important: Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.

5. Light pressure can be used on the handle to press and heat food to your liking.
   Important: Do not use heavy pressure on the lid of the grill at any time.

6. After the selected time, the food should be done. If you would prefer longer cooking, simply follow the steps beginning at step 4.

7. Once cooking is complete, carefully open the grill cover using a potholder.

8. Remove cooked food using the plastic spatula provided.
   Note: Always use silicone, heatproof plastic or wood utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal spatulas skewers, tongs, forks or knives.
   Important: heat continues to be ON until the grill is unplugged.

9. Allow drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry the drip tray after each use.

GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of food. Cooking time will depend upon the thickness of the food. Use a fork inserted into the center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grilling plate.) If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.

GRILLING TIPS

• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• For best results, do not overload the grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before the suggested time; if necessary adjust the time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings or marinate foods before grilling.
  Important: Use only silicone, heatproof plastic, or wood utensils when cooking on the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not discolor
  or melt at high temperatures.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel
CLEANING
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow the grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

1.  Before cleaning, unplug the grill from the wall outlet and allow it to cool.
   Important: heat continues to be ON until the grill is unplugged.

2. Place drip tray under the front of the grill. Use a plastic spatula to scrape off any excess
   fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray.

3. Use a warm, soapy sponge to wipe plates clean, then rinse the sponge and wipe again to remove any soapy residue. Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel.

4. To remove stubborn buildup, use nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the grill plates.
   Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.

5. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

6.  To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
   Important: Do not immerse the body of the grill in water or any other liquid.

7.  Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be performed by a qualified electrician.
   Caution: Make sure to hold the grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent accidental closing and injury.
   STORAGE
   Always make sure the grill is clean and dry before storing.
