Extension Cord

Note : This grill functions best WITHOUT an extension cord.
1. The short cord is provided for safety.
2. An extension cord may be used with care.
3. If an extension cord is necessary:
• Use a UL-approved, 3-prong plug (grounded) that is rated
for at least 15 amperes and suitable for outdoor use.
• Never connect two or more extension cords together.
• Use the shortest extension cord possible.
• A 12- or 14-gauge cord of less than 50 feet is preferable.
• Keep connections dry and off the ground.
• Avoid draping the grill cord over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on or tripped over.

Grounding Instructions

1. This grill must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
2. The grill is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a dry GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter) 3-prong outlet (Figure 1).
3. An adapter should be used for connecting a 3-prong plug to
a 2-plug for a 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2).
4. The grounding tab, which extends from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box using a metal screw (Figure 3).

First Use

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have
been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the
first time by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes on "HIGH"
setting with the lid closed. This will "heat clean" the internal
parts and dissipate odors.
