Before you use the appliance
for the first time
1. Unpack your new Contact Grill and remove all
extra fittings such as plastic wrappers and cable
clamps meant for protection during transporta-
tion.
2. Before starting up your new Contact Grill, check
the contents for completeness and any visible
damage.
3. Read the directions for use carefully.
4. Install the appliance as described in the safety
precautions.
5. Clean the new Contact Grill with a wet cloth as

When using the Contact Grill for the first time,

Contact Grill once without any food items and
allow it to heat up at the maximum temperature
setting for 15 minutes.
