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 cord, plugs or 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 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
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 cord hang over edge of 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 plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from 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.
Use only on properly grounded outlet.
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 have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

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:
- a) 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
- b) 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.
- c) 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”.
- d) The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
- e) Store product indoors when not in use – out of reach of children.
- f) 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 temperature control probe in water or any other liquid. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Assemble pedestal tube by connecting two halves of tube. Insert the tapered end of the Upper Pedestal Tube into the top of the Lower Pedestal Tube and screw the Tubes together.
Place pedestal base on a flat, level surface.
Insert slotted end of assembled pedestal tube into center hole of pedestal base and push down firmly.
Place grill base on top of pedestal tube assembly, ensuring hole in center of grill base engages with tube.
Place grease tray securely into position inside grill base. When properly placed, it is held firmly with pointed end in center of grill base.
Position grill securely on grill base.
Position probe receptacle through probe cutout in top side of grill base.
Attach lid handle to lid from the inside using rubber-ringed fastener/hook.
Place lid over grill. Your grill is now ready to use!

GRILLING OUTDOORS

Turn temperature control probe to OFF position and attach securely into probe receptacle.
Plug into standard electrical outlet. Align desired temperature setting with indicator light. Place lid securely on grill. Allow gill to preheat to desired temperature – for approximately 10 minutes.
Carefully remove lid and place food onto grill; cover for most foods. Cook until done, turning at least once halfway through cooking time for most food. Adjust temperature as needed.
Tip: You can control moisture of foods, to some extent, by opening or closing lid vent. Turn lid handle / vent clockwise to open vent for drier cooking. Turn counterclockwise to hold in moisture for moister meats. Light on temperature control probe will cycle on and off as grill thermostat maintains proper temperature. This is normal operation.
Note: Condensation may collect on inside of lid when cooking.
Important: Use caution when removing lid.
When finished cooking, turn temperature control probe to OFF position.
Temperature probe indicator light will go out. Unplug and allow grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning. See CARE AND CLEANING.
Note: Temperature control probe may be turned to setting 1 to keep foods warm for short periods of time.
Note: Use only plastic or wooden utensils on nonstick surface.
Caution: Grill surfaces are hot during use. Allow grill, grease tray, lid and grill base to cool completely before handling and cleaning.

USING INDOORS

To use your grill indoors, simply lift grill base off pedestal tube and place on a heat-resistant surface.
Important: Never use grill without the grill base in place.
Caution: Some countertop finishes are more affected by heat than others; make sure countertop surface can withstand temperatures of 150°F to prevent discoloration or other damage to 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 grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning.
Thoroughly clean all parts after each use.
Remove temperature control probe (DO NOT IMMERSE). Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

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 receptacle must always be completely dry before use. Make sure receptacle is dry before inserting control probe.
