POLARIZED PLUG (120v Models Only) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. 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 a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, 1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, 2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 3) The longer 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. Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

Note: The SEAR function can be used at any time during the cooking cycle. Using SEAR at the beginning of the cooking cycle: 1. To begin preheating, set the desired temperature by pressing the UP ( ▲) button on the temperature control probe until the light to the right of the desired setting begins to flash. 2. Press the SEAR button on the temperature control probe to raise the temperature in the Hot Zone™ area of the griddle to 520°F. The light next to SEAR on the temperature control probe will begin flashing and the orange light under the SEAR button will be illuminated (E). 3. When the Hot Zone™ area is fully heated, the light next to SEAR on the temperature control probe will become constant. The Hot Zone™ area will hold that temperature for approximately 2 minutes Note: It is not necessary to wait for the griddle to heat to the preset temperature before selecting SEAR. 4. Carefully place the food to be seared on the Hot Zone™ area. Sear food on each side for about 1 minute. 5. After about 2 minutes, the temperature on the temperature control probe will change to the preset temperature initially selected. (For example, if you select 350°F and then SEAR, the griddle will return to 350°F after the searing function is complete.) Note: You can turn off SEAR by either pressing the Down ( ▼) button or by pressing the desired temperature. The griddle will automatically revert to the preset temperature. 6. To continue cooking, move the food to the regular cooking area of the griddle. 7. If you have more food to sear, press the SEAR button again and follow steps 2 – 4. Note: When using SEAR, watch foods that are on the rest of the griddle carefully; turn often to maintain even cooking. Using SEAR in the middle or at the end of the cooking cycle: 1. Follow steps 1 to 6 in the HOW TO USE on pages 5-6. 2. Press the SEAR button on the temperature control probe to raise the temperature in the Hot Zone™ area to 520°F (see Illustration E). The light next to SEAR on the temperature control probe will begin flashing and the orange light under the SEAR button will be illuminated. 3. When the Hot Zone™ area is fully heated, the light next to SEAR on the temperature control probe will become constant. It will hold that temperature for approximately 2 minutes. 4.
