Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
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.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not
immerse the unit in water.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the panini press.

recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer for use with this model

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

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 grounding type, the
extension cord should also 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.
Always use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening the panini press.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause
burns.
