IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
  Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electronics may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
  Do not let 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.
• Attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• 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.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.

• Do not use glass cover if chipped, cracked or has deep scratches as weakened glass can shatter during use. Discard immediately. See Replacement Part section in this booklet on how to obtain a replacement.

• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.

• Lift cover slowly, directing steam away from you.
• Set cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot cover directly on the counter, table or other surface.
• Do not place the glass cover in the microwave oven as it has a metal ring.
• Do not touch the metal probe on the plug or let it touch any surface after use, as it will be hot.
• For household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Many accessory parts are contained within the packaging material.

Follow assembly directions below to properly assemble cover knob before use. Do not use cover without cover knob properly assembled to topside of cover.

Parts Included:

Cover Knob

Tool Required:

Common Phillips screwdriver

Disc

Phillips screw with washer and plastic sleeve attached.

Assemble the Cover Knob:

1. Position disc and cover knob on topside of cover aligning hole in disc and cover knob with hole in cover.

2. Insert screw with washer and plastic sleeve attached, through cover hole into knob. Tighten with screwdriver until secured. Do not over tighten to prevent stripping of threads. Do not use cover without cover knob attached.

• Always use grill on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. Never use grill without drip pan in base. Do not use grill unless securely positioned in base.

• Place drip pan into base. Fill drip pan with water to maximum water level line, about 3 cups.

• Position grill onto base with handles in recessed areas of base. Grill may be positioned with control to left or right end of base. Plug heat control into the grill.

• With the heat control set to "OFF" position, plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only.

• Preheat grill, uncovered, at recommended setting for food being cooked. Refer to grilling chart in this manual or on handle for selecting the heat setting and grilling times.

• When signal light on heat control goes out indicating grilling temperature has been reached, add the food. If desired, cover may be placed on grill to shorten cooking time and help contain spatters. Heat may be increased or decreased, depending on personal preference and type or amount of food being prepared. The signal light will go on and off periodically to indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.

1. Use hot pads when handling grill and cover as handles become warm. For turning food, nylon, plastic or wooden cooking tools are recommended for use on the non-stick surface. Do not use sharp edged cooking tools or knives.

2. When grilling is completed, set heat control at "WARM" for serving, or set dial at "OFF" if food will be removed immediately from grill. After dial is set at "OFF", unplug cord from wall outlet. Let grill cool completely before removing heat control.

3. Unplug cord from electric outlet after use and allow the electric grill to cool completely before cleaning.

4. A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

5. Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Always place water in drip pan to maximum water level line to help reduce smoking and make clean up easier.
• Always use hot pads when handling grill as handles and grill become hot during use.
• Begin grilling at recommended heat setting. Adjust heat setting if needed during cooking.
• The heat control dial can be set at "LO", "MED", "HI" or in between for grilling or at "WARM" for serving. Approximate temperatures of each setting are "WARM" (180^) , "LO" (250^) , "MED" (325^) and "HI" (375^) .
• Use solid end of grill to fry eggs, hash browns, grill pancakes, French toast, sandwiches, vegetables or warm buns. Brush vegetables with olive oil or vegetable oil for an attractive appearance.
• Tender cuts of meat are best for grilling; to tenderize less tender cuts of meat, marinate before grilling.
• Fish and seafood may be baked with melted butter or a flavored butter during grilling.
• For best results, use tongs to turn meats to avoid piercing the skin. Use a wide spatula to turn fish, steaks, hamburgers, etc.
• If using a barbecue sauce, baste meat during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

CLEANING YOUR ELECTRIC INDOOR GRILL

1. After using grill, allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove heat control. Lift grill out of base using handles. Carefully lift drip pan out of base. Dispose of any liquid in the drip pan.
3. Wash base, drip pan, cover and grill in warm, soapy water using a non-metal cleaning pad. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring powders. A soft bristled brush may be used to clean underside of grill. After washing, rinse and dry. The drip pan, grill and cover may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Position pieces in dishwasher so they do not touch one another or other objects being washed. DO NOT PUT

PLASTIC BASE IN DISHWASHER, AS WARPAGE WILL OCCUR.
