IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the thermostat control, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or product damage.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
9. Do not move the grill while it is in operation.
10. Do not leave the product unattended while it is in use.
11. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
13. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn all controls to the OFF position, then remove the power cord from the electrical outlet.
14. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance, as they may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electrical shock.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories in this unit when not in use.
19. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: Paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
20. Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood, and/or laminates, are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. It is recommended by countertop manufacturers that a hot pad or trivet be placed under your appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the instructions below:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Read instructions carefully.
• Remove all packaging materials; make sure all parts are included and are in good condition.
• Wash all parts and accessories with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling for use or for storage. (See “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section for further instructions.)

HOW TO USE

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

Assemble the knob on lid

• Position the knob and knob ring over the hole on the lid.
• Push the screw and washers through the hole on the bottom side of the lid.
• Screw tightly into the knob.
• Periodically tighten the screw if necessary.

Insert grilling pan

• Place the grilling pan onto the base, ensuring the power receptacle fits into the corresponding opening on the base.
• Push down on the grilling pan, locking it securely to the base.

Connecting the temperature selector

• Insert the thermostat plug on the thermostat control into the corresponding socket on the grill; at the same time, ensure that the pins in the thermostat socket are inserted into their corresponding sockets on the thermostat control switch.
• Ensure that the Thermostat Control is not loose or falling off the grill.

HOW TO USE:

1. Assemble the grill.
2. Place the grill and grill base on top of a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
3. Spray or brush the grilling surface with your cooking oil of choice.
4. Plug the power cord on the Thermostat Control into the electrical outlet. Turn the knob to the desired temperature. The red indicator light will illuminate. The light will go off when the grill has reached the selected temperature, indicating that the grill is ready to use.
5. Place your food onto the grill to cook.
6. When you are finished cooking, turn the knob to “OFF” to shut off. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
7. After the grill has cooled down, disassemble the grill, wash, and thoroughly dry all parts before storing or using again.

CAUTION:

Always attach the thermostat control to the grill first and then plug it into the electrical outlet. Make sure the thermostat control switch is in the “off” position before attaching it to the grill.

NOTE:

• The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is normal and harmless and comes from the protective substance applied to the heating elements during manufacturing.
• As the temperature of the grill is being maintained, the indicator light on the thermostat control will turn on and off.

CAUTION:

Never touch the grilling surface when the appliance is in operation, as it is very hot and doing so will lead to personal injury. To protect
the premium quality non-stick surface, use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils.

COOKING REFERENCE CHART

Cooking time may vary due to differences in the sizing and thickness of food, and may also need adjustment based on how well you prefer your food to be cooked. Please use the table below for suggested internal temperatures for meats, fish, and poultry. Cook accordingly. (Source: www.fda.gov)

NOTE: The use of a food thermometer when grilling is recommended.

MINIMUM INTERNAL TEMPERATURE & REST TIME:

Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured with a food thermometer before removing food from the heat source. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook food at higher temperatures.

GRILLING TIME CHART:

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
