Warning and Safety instructions

Protection from burns

The appliance becomes very hot when in use. Make sure that no

one comes in contact with it.

Do not store toys or items of inter- est to children in cabinets above

or behind the appliance. Children climbing onto the grill to reach these items may become seriously injured.

Do not allow children to operate or play with, or near, the grill.

Use only dry, heat resistant pot- holders. Moist or damp potholders

used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating element. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never

be worn while cooking.

Do not heat unopened food con- tainers. Build-up pressure may

cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Do not store items on the grill when not in use.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate

on the appliance.

Do not leave the appliance unat- tended while in use. Overheated

food can ignite.

Never put water or ice on to a hot grill. This can cause a serious reac-

tion leading to injury.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any fire or flame, or use a

dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not flambé under an exhaust hood. Flames could be drawn up

into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite.

If there is a drawer directly under- neath the appliance without any

wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, these must be made of heat-resistant material.
