Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool 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 the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the front of this manual.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
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.
Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
Fuel, such as charcoal briquettes, is not to be used with this appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.

GROUNDED PLUG

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 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 short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long detachable power cord or 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
- Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are surface marked with the suffix letter “W” and with a tag stating, “SUITABLE FOR USE WITH OUTDOOR APPLIANCES”.
- The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
- Store product indoors when not in use – out of reach of children.
- Do not clean this product with a water spray or the like.

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

HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Wash grill base, grill, grease tray, and lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important: Do not immerse the temperature control probe in water or any other liquid. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Assemble the pedestal tube by connecting two halves of the tube. Insert the tapered end of the Upper Pedestal Tube into the top of the Lower Pedestal Tube and screw the Tubes together.
Place the pedestal base on a flat, level surface.
Insert the slotted end of the assembled pedestal tube into the center hole of the pedestal base and push down firmly.
Place the grill base on top of the pedestal tube assembly, ensuring the hole in the center of the grill base engages with the tube.
Place grease tray securely into position inside grill base. When properly placed, it is held firmly with a pointed end in the center of the grill base.
Position the grill securely on the grill base.
Position the probe receptacle through the probe cutout on the top side of the grill base.
Attach the lid handle to the lid from the inside using a rubber-ringed fastener/hook.
Place a lid over the grill. Your grill is now ready to use!

GRILLING OUTDOORS

Turn the temperature control probe to the OFF position and attach it securely to the probe receptacle.
Plug into a standard electrical outlet. Align the desired temperature setting with the indicator light. Place the lid securely on the grill. Allow the grill to preheat to the desired temperature – for approximately 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid and place food onto the grill; cover for most foods. Cook until done, turning at least once halfway through cooking time for most food. Adjust the temperature as needed.
Tip: You can control the moisture of foods, to some extent, by opening or closing the lid vent. Turn the lid handle/vent clockwise to open the vent for drier cooking. Turn counterclockwise to hold in moisture for moister meats. Light on the temperature control probe will cycle on and off as the grill thermostat maintains the proper temperature. This is a normal operation.
Note: Condensation may collect on the inside of the lid when cooking.
Important: Use caution when removing the lid.
When finished cooking, turn the temperature control probe to the OFF position. The temperature probe indicator light will go out. Unplug and allow the grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning. See CARE AND CLEANING.

Note: The temperature control probe may be turned to setting 1 to keep foods warm for short periods.
Note: Use only plastic or wooden utensils on nonstick surfaces.
Caution: Grill surfaces are hot during use. Allow the grill, grease tray, lid, and grill base to cool completely before handling and cleaning.

USING INDOORS

To use your grill indoors, simply lift the grill base off the pedestal tube and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

Important: Never use the grill without the grill base in place.
Caution: Some countertop finishes are more affected by heat than others; make sure the countertop surface can withstand temperatures of 150°F to prevent discoloration or other damage to the countertop surface.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution:
To avoid accidental burns, allow your grill to cool completely.

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Unplug and allow the grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning. Thoroughly clean all parts after each use.
Remove the temperature control probe (DO NOT IMMERSE). Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Remove the grill and empty the grease tray.
Wash the grill base, grill, grease tray, and lid in warm, soapy water. You may use a plastic scouring pad to remove stubborn stains. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

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.

Caution:
Temperature control probe receptacles must always be completely dry before use. Make sure the receptacle is dry before inserting the control probe.
