USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING YOUR PRECISION CONTROL MULTI GRILL

NOTE: Before you plugging in the Multi Grill, make sure Temperature Control Dial is in the OFF position.

Remove all the packaging before using the Multi Grill.
Remove and wash Removable Cooking Plates and Removable Drip Tray. Immerse them in warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Use a soft cloth to dry thoroughly.
Re-attach the Removable Cooking Plates by aligning the plate guides with the clips, and pushing the plates gently into position.
Place the appliance on a flat, non-temperature-sensitive surface, and do not put anything on top of it.
Never immerse the grill, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

HOW TO USE YOUR PRECISION CONTROL MULTI GRILL

NOTE: Always ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the OFF position before plugging in, otherwise PREHEATING cycle will start immediately after appliance is plugged in.

Insert the Removable Drip Tray into the slot at the rear of the Multi Grill. It collects excess fat. NOTE: Do not use your Multi Grill without the Removable Drip Tray in place.
With the lid closed, plug in the Multi Grill into the outlet, and use the Temperature Control Dial to select the desired cooking temperature, ranging from Low to 450°F.
Once the Multi Grill is turned on and desired temperature selected, the PREHEATING light will illuminate and the preheating process will start.
When the Multi Grill reaches the selected temperature, the PREHEATING light will turn off¬ and the READY light will illuminate.
Always ensure the PREHEATING cycle is complete before placing the food on the Cooking Plate.
Lift the lid and place the food onto the bottom Removable Cooking Plate. Then close the lid.
The Multi Grill will operate continually at the selected temperature, without a defined shut off¬ time.
To shut off the Multi Grill, turn the Temperature Control Dial counter-clockwise to OFF.
If cooking with the lid closed, lift the lid after the food has cooked for the desired length of time using the Lid Handle.
Remove the food using non-metallic utensils.

NOTE: Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the ceramic coating.

FOR MORE COOKING SURFACE

The Multi Grill can be opened to 180° (horizontal) for more cooking surface. To open to 180°, lift the Lid Handle to the open position, and with the other hand, slide the Hinge Release Lever up. Push the Lid Handle back and down until the Lid is laying horizontal beside the bottom cooking surface.

NOTE: Never leave the Multi Grill plugged in if it's empty or unattended. Turn the grill off and unplug it from outlet.

NOTE: For further details on product features and usage instructions, please visit www.calphalon.com During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few hours.

To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not play with the appliance.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

Do not place on or near wet surfaces, or heat sources such as a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Intended for household countertop use only. Keep 6 inches (152 mm) clear from the wall and on all sides. Always use appliance on a dry, stable, level surface.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your grill to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
