Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug
will only fit into an electrical outlet made for
a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the
plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce
hazards of becoming entangled or tripping
over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3 wire
extension cord may be used if the electrical
rating of the extension cord is equal to or
greater than the rating of the electric grill.
Use only an extension cord rated 15
amperes or greater. Care must be taken
to arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
Do not leave this appliance unattended
while in use.
