table or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product
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 grounded 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.
An extension cord should be connected to
the appliance first, before it is plugged into
the outlet.
Always use grill on flat surface to ensure
grease and oils drain properly. Use
caution when cleaning spilled hot grease.
Use caution when cooking and around
splattering grease.
Always use drip tray and make sure it is
resting on counter directly under grill before
use.
It is not recommended to move grill when
in use. Unplug unit and let cool before
moving.
Always use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening the grill.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause
burns.

food to be cooked onto cooking
grids and lower cover.
CAUTION: Burn Hazard. Exterior
surfaces become hot during
cooking! Use an oven mitt when
touching the handle.

if cooked
to desired
doneness.
To avoid
damaging
the nonstick
coating, do
not cut food

Do not immerse cord, plug, or base
in water or other liquid.
w WARNING
Cleaning
1. Unplug grill from outlet and allow to
cool.
2. Wipe cooking grids with a paper
towel to remove drippings. Use
a plastic spatula to scrape away
cooked-on food or grease.
3. To remove grids for cleaning, pull
tab down to
release and
remove upper
grid. Then, pull
tabs and lift
up lower grid.
4. Grids, drip tray, and spatula are
dishwasher-safe.
5. Do not use steel wool or any type
of abrasive cleaner to clean the grill,
since it will damage the nonstick
cooking grids and void the warranty.
6. Replace cooking grids and ensure
they are locked into place. ALWAYS
replace LOWER cooking grid first.
Repeat with UPPER grid.
7. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe
clean the outside of the grill.
Helpful Tips and Hints
ALWAYS PREHEAT FOR 6 MINUTES
BEFORE USING.
Read the Use and Care Guide before
using the contact grill.
Use cooking spray for convenient,
stick-free cooking. Or if you prefer,
brush cooking grids with vegetable
oil before preheating.
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick
cooking grid. Do not use metal
utensils since they will damage the
nonstick surface.
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 wipe cooking grids with
damp paper towel. Grids may also
be washed in the dishwasher.
