Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product
is provided with either a polarized (one
wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized or
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or by using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not
immerse the unit in water.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not use another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the panini press.

8. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer for use with this model
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
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.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
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 appliance.
If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding-
type, 3-wire cord. 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 appliance
first, before it is plugged into the outlet.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when
opening the panini press.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause
burns.
