    IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
     When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to 
    reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
    This product is for household use only.
    GROUNDED PLUG
    As a safety feature, this product is equipped 
    with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a 
    three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat 
    this safety feature. Improper connection of the 
    grounding conductor may result in the risk of 
    electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician 
    if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is 
    properly grounded.
    TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
    Warning: This appliance is equipped with a 
    tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of 
    the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or 
    electric shock, do not attempt to remove the 
    outer cover. There are no user-serviceable 
    parts inside. Repair should be done only by 
    authorized service personnel. 
    ELECTRICAL CORD
    1. A short power cord is provided to reduce the  risk resulting from  becoming entangled in or 
    tripping over a longer cord. 2. If a long detachable power cord or extension 
    cord is used:
    a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or  extension cord should be at least  as great as 
    the electrical rating of the appliance, and
    b) 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 unintentionally. 
    c) Outdoor extension cords should be used  with outdoor use products and are surface 
    marked with the suffix letter “W” and with 
    a tag stating,  “SUITABLE FOR USE WITH 
    OUTDOOR APPLIANCES”.
    d) The extension cord should be kept dry and  off the ground.
    e) Store product indoors when not in use – out  of reach of children.
    f )  Do not clean this product with a water spray  or the like.
    Note:  If the power cord is damaged, it should 
    be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin 
    America, by an authorized service center.

    GRILLING OUTDOORS
    1. Turn temperature control probe to OFF position and attach securely into probe 
    receptacle.
