IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- 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 are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
- 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 supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
- Do not use outdoors.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer for use with this model may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
- 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.
- Do not use the appliance for other than the intended purpose.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard
This appliance is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Preheat with the cover closed. Once the grill has reached the proper temperature, the green light will come on. The following times are guidelines. Always cook with the cover closed. Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.
Helpful Tips
ALWAYS PREHEAT BEFORE USING
- Read the Use and Care Guide before using.
- Use a cooking spray for convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if you prefer, brush cooking plates with vegetable oil before preheating.
- Use plastic utensils on nonstick cooking plates. Do not use metal utensils since they will damage nonstick surfaces.
- Thicker sandwiches may shift when the lid is closed. Use a plastic spatula to reposition. There is no need to press down on the handle. The weight of the cover will grill the top of the sandwich.
- Cleanup is easy! Let the grill cool down; then loosen any stuck-on food with a spatula and wipe the cooking plates with a damp paper towel.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard
