When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to
persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse appliance,
cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Care must be exercised when cleaning a grill that has been discon-
nected and is still hot. Follow the special instructions provided.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit
in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not use an adaptor.
Have an electrician replace the obsolete 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.
