IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns or other injury or damage, follow these instructions
carefully. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed 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 this appli-
ance 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, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. 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, electrical
repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment. All
repairs must be completed by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly quality persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recom-
mended by Hamilton Beach/ Proctor-Silex, Inc.
may cause injuries or serious damage to the
unit.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven. Do not use this unit
near oven, heater or fireplace.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an
appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then
remove plug from
wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended
purpose.
This appliance is intended for household use
only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded- type 3-
wire cord (3-prong plug). This type of plug will only
fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug.
This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding pin by modifying the plug in any way.
TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT
IMMERSE THE GRILL IN WATER.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit
with the grill.
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 grill. 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.
An extension cord should be connected to the appli-
ance first, before it is plugged into the outlet.
Always use grill on flat surface to ensure grease and
oils drain properly. Use caution when cleaning spilled
hot grease. Use caution when cooking and around
splattering grease.
Always use drip cup and make sure it is properly
installed before use.
It is not recommended to move grill when in use.
Unplug unit and let cool before moving.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when opening
the grill.
CAUTION: ESCAPING STEAM MAY CAUSE BURNS.
