Important Safeguards
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and
carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage
stated on the appliance rating label. If it does not match, contact our after sales
support line and do not use the appliance.
• Insert the plug properly into an appropriate power outlet that is within easy reach
so that the plug can easily be removed if necessary.
• Do not connect the appliance to an external switching device such as a timer or a
separate remote control system.
• WARNING: Do not immerse! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the cord, plug or the appliance in water or other liquid. If it falls into water,
immediately unplug it from the electrical outlet. Do not touch it or reach into the
water.
• Do not expose the electrical connections to water. Do not use the appliance, or
touch the plug, with wet or damp hands, on a damp floor or when the appliance
itself is wet. Do not spill liquids into the product.
• Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• Use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you must use an
extension cord, make sure it is earthed, has been approved, and has the same
or higher electrical rating (voltage and power) than the product. Arrange the
extended cord so it will not drape over the table or benchtop where it can be
pulled on or tripped over accidentally.
• Do not kink, squash or strain the power cord and protect it from sharp edges
and heat. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces, including the grill plates, when
it is in use. Do not place anything on top of the cord. Do not wrap it around the
appliance, and never pull the cord to lift up, carry or unplug the appliance.
