Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and
reinsert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
CAUTION
Short cord Instructions: Your Panini Press Grill and
Griddle appliance is fitted with a short power supply
cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury
or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow
children to use or be near this appliance without close
adult supervision. If an extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, (2) the cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over,
(3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension should be a grounding 3-wire cord.
Electrical Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electric circuit from other
appliances.
