This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG
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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped  over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

USING DUAL GRILL POSITION STAND

  1. or sloped cooking of foods like burgers or chicken: Flip the Dual Grill Position Stand out away from the grill. (A)
  2. For horizontal cooking of foods like paninis or hot dogs:
    Flip the stand to store underneath the grill.

ATTACHING THE PLATES
Important: This appliance must always be used with both cooking plates securely attached.
Caution: Attach grill plates when the appliance is cool.

  2. Securely attach bottom grill plate using the release tabs as described in Step 1.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

  • Slide drip tray under front of grill.
  • Close lid and plug cord into outlet.
  • Allow grill to preheat. When grilling temperature is reached, the green preheat indicator light turns on.

GRILLING

  • Using a potholder, carefully open the lid.
    Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surface. Chemicals that allow spray to come out of a can build up on surface of grill plates and reduce their efficiency.
  • Carefully place foods to be cooked on lower grilling plate. Close lid.
    Note: Do not overload grill.
  • Close cover and allow food to cook for desired time. (See cooking chart.)
    Note: Always use heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs, forks or knives.
  • When finished cooking, unplug the appliance to cool it down.
  • Using a potholder or oven mitts, carefully open the lid and remove the food.
  • Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill. Wash and dry the drip tray after each use. It can also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT
This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.

SUGGESTED COOKING CHART
The cooking times and temperatures in the below chart are meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend upon the food thickness and cut being used. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness by inserting the thermometer into the thickest portion of the meat. For reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food to a higher temperature.
