Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a 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 into the outlet, 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 and 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.

Do not leave this appliance unattended while in use.

WARNING: To reduce risk of fire do not allow flammable materials such as curtains, draperies, walls, cabinets, backsplashes, and the like to touch any part of the grill or grilling surface when the grill is in operation. Place grill at least 6 inches away from walls, appliances or any object which could be damaged by heat.

WHEN USING OUTDOORS:

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

WHEN USING AN EXTENSION CORD OUTDOORS:

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.

Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are surface marked with suffix letters "W-A" and with a tag stating "Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances."

Store unit indoors, out of reach of children.

Do not clean this product with a water spray or the like.

Parts and Features

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the grid and base in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse power cord in water or other liquid.

Variable-Heat Power Cord

The variable-heat power cord offers heat settings from "MIN" and 1 (low) to 5 (high). The recipes and cooking chart were developed using setting 5. The additional heat settings can be used for more versatile cooking options.

Settings 3 and 4 are for thick cuts of meat or large pieces of bone-in chicken. Start cooking at the higher setting; then reduce heat if needed. Settings 1 and 2 should be used to keep food warm after it has been cooked. Always make sure the power cord is turned to MIN and unplugged from wall outlet before inserting or removing the power cord.

How to Grill

Set base on countertop. Place grid on base.

Plug power cord into the cord receptacle, and then plug into outlet. The indicator light on the power cord will glow.

Set temperature control dial to desired heat setting. Preheat 5 to 10 minutes before grilling or until indicator light turns off.

Use only utensils which are high-heat resistant (-450^ / 232^) and safe for nonstick surfaces. This will help prolong the life of the nonstick coating.

When finished grilling, turn control to MIN. Remove plug from outlet and then from cord receptacle.

GRILLING TIPS:

• Please remember that your grid is coated with a nonstick surface and that plastic utensils should always be used.
• If grilling vegetables, fish, or lean meat, spray the grilling surface with a cooking spray. If grilling meat with any amount of fat, or if the food has been marinated, there is no need to treat the grid.

• For best results, preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before grilling.

• Skewers are available in most large supermarkets. If using the disposable, wooden-type skewers, soak the skewers in water at least 10 minutes before threading on food. This prevents the skewer from scorching and makes a more attractive presentation.
  If using a marinade with oil, place grill near an exhaust hood. Oil or fat will produce some smoke.

Care and Cleaning

Unplug grill from outlet and allow to cool. Carefully dispose of any grease.

Wash the grid and base in hot, soapy water. Use a nylon or plastic scouring pad and a nonabrasive liquid cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads. Rinse and let dry.

4. WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord or plug in water or any liquid.

DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product.

Grilling Guidelines

• Grilling Times: Recipe cooking times are estimates. Cooking time will vary based on the temperature of the grid, the surrounding air, and the food itself. Watch food carefully while grilling and adjust the cooking time as necessary.
• Marinating Tips: Never marinate foods in metal containers for extended lengths of time (2 or more hours). The acids in foods can react with metal, causing an unpleasant taste. Instead, use glass, ceramic, or plastic bag containers for marinating.
• Meat Safety Tip: To reduce the risk of spoiling, store meat in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook. Never thaw or marinate meat at room temperature, especially in warm climates.

• Food Safety Tip: Never use leftover marinade as a finishing sauce on cooked foods. The leftover marinade must first be boiled for one to two minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw food that was marinated.

• Nonstick Grilling Tip: Without the use of oil, certain foods will stick slightly to nonstick surfaces. This is easily prevented. Before turning on your grill, brush or spray the grids lightly with oil or nonstick cooking spray. (Never add oil or spray to a heated grid—this is dangerous.)
  Always read all safety information.

Recipes

Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.

Basic Burger

1 1/2 lb. (680 g) ground chuck
1/4 teaspoon (1.3 ml) salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon (1.3 ml) pepper
4 hamburger buns
1. Combine the ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly, using your hands. Shape the mixture into four patties, each 3/4-inch (1.9-cm) thick in the center and at the edges. (Even thickness ensures even cooking and prevents the edges from drying out before the center is cooked.)
2. Place the patties on grid. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once. (According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, all ground meat should be cooked to at least medium doneness [160^ / 71^] or until the center of the patty is no longer pink.) Make a small incision in the center of each patty to determine doneness.
3. Toast the buns by placing them, split side down, on the edges of the grid for about 1 minute or until lightly browned.
4. Remove the burgers from the grill and serve on toasted hamburger buns.

Yield: 4 servings

Grilled Steak 101

2 Tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil

2 boneless sirloin beef steaks, cut 1-inch (2.5-cm) thick (about 2 pounds total)

Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and garlic. Generously rub or brush the flavored oil on both sides of the steaks. Sprinkle the steaks lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Place the steaks on the grid. Grill 35 to 45 minutes for medium doneness, turning every 15 minutes.
3. Remove the steaks from the grill, cover loosely with foil and let the steaks rest for a few minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Season with salt and additional pepper (if desired) before serving.
