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 use outdoors.
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.
To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.
Be sure removable plates are assembled and fastened properly (see
ATTACHING THE PLATES).
Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position.
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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (USA/Mexico)
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.
GROUNDED PLUG (Canada 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
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 to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
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.
ATTACHING THE PLATES
Important: This appliance must always be used with both cooking plates
securely attached.
Caution: Attach grill plates when the appliance is cool.
1. Securely attach top grill plate using the release tabs on each side.
To secure the plate, insert the tabs at the bottom of the plate into the
slots closest to the hinge. Push the plate onto the grill until the release
tabs snap into place.
2. Securely attach bottom grill plate using the release tabs as described
in Step 1.
PREHEATING THE GRILL
Close lid and plug cord into outlet. The red "power" indicator light turns on.
Allow grill to preheat approximately 4½ minutes before grilling. When
grilling temperature is reached, the green "ready" indicator light turns on.
GRILLING
Using a pot holder, carefully open the preheated grill.
Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surface.
Chemicals that allow spray to come out of a can build up on surface of grill
plates and reduce their efficiency.
Carefully place foods to be cooked on lower grilling plate. Close lid.
Note: Do not overload grill.
Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time.
When finished cooking, unplug the appliance.
Using pot holder or oven mitts carefully open lid.
Note: Always use heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid
scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs,
forks or knives.
Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and
dry the grease tray after each use.
USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT
This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the
thickness of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than
one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be
about the same.
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.
1. Empty the drip tray, clean with warm, soapy water. Wipe dry.
2. To remove the plates, press the release tabs on both sides of the
plates and remove from the grill. The plates can be washed in the
dishwasher or by hand with hot, soapy water; always dry plates
thoroughly before reattaching.
3. Wipe outside of unit with a warm, wet sponge. Dry with soft, dry cloth.
4. DO NOT use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any part
of the grill.
5. DO NOT immerse in water or any other liquid.
6. Make sure to hold the lid open by hand while cleaning to prevent
accidental closing and injury.
7. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
must be performed by a qualified service personnel.
