OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized 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. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter- top 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. 840210901 ENv01.qxd:Layout 1 12/20/11 4:50 PM Page 23 Parts and Features Nonstick Grill/Griddle Grids (Griddle side shown.

Insert end of grid into fixed latch, and rest grid on center latches.

When finished, turn all controls to “MIN” before unplugging unit from the outlet.

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

In grill mode, grease will drain in center into the drip tray. Make sure the drip tray is in place.

Use nonstick cooking spray before heating. Power ON light will turn on as soon as the unit is plugged in. The READY light (one per cooking surface) will turn on as soon as the desired temperature is reached on each side. 840210901 ENv01.qxd:Layout 1 12/20/11 4:55 PM Page 56 Cooking Charts GRILL FOOD TEMPERATURE INTERNAL TEMP.* APPROX.
