To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the grill.

Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when
opening the grill.

CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause burns.

An extension cord should be connected to
the appliance first, before it is plugged into
the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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.
