SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
observed including, but not limited to, the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
- To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put any part of appliance 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, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, as it could be pulled off.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
- The device must be placed on a flat and stable surface, not on a slant or on a carpet.
- To use, plug cord into electrical outlet. To disconnect, grasp plug and remove from outlet. Do not pull on the cord.
- Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: 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 plug in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement 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 longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
- Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
- To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
- To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
- Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
- Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
CAUTION : To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock,
connect to properly grounded outlets only.
IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice
smoke and/ or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It
will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

Cleaning and Maintenance
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable
parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if

TO CLEAN
Always unplug the sandwich maker from the power source and wait until it cools
down before cleaning. Wipe with a dry paper towel to absorb excess oils. Brush
crumbs from the grooves, and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never
immerse in water. Avoid using metal or sharp utensils, as they will scratch
the non-stick surface. Do not use cleaners or oven cleaners on the heating
plates. To clean handles and other parts, use a damp cloth with mild soap and
