EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

INTRODUCTION

This appliance features an Oil Infused DuraCeramic non-stick natural ceramic coating which is 10X more durable than other non-stick coatings. This means there's no flaking or peeling off to worry about. Furthermore, the ultra-durable ceramic coating cooks faster than other non-stick coatings, saving time and energy. The natural Oil Infused DuraCeramic non-stick coating also offers greater health and benefits as it's free of PTFE and PFOA. 10X More Durable – DuraCeramic!

Preparing to Use Your Electric Griddle for the First Time.

Before use, wash the Griddle and Drip Tray with warm soapy water, and dry completely.

Do not immerse GRIDDLE or TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE in water or other liquid.

HOW TO

Insert drip tray into guides under the front of the griddle.
Turn temperature probe dial to the off position and attach securely to griddle.
Preheat the griddle by aligning the selected temperature setting on the temperature control probe knob with the indicator light. Griddle is preheated when the light on the knob goes off. The light will cycle during use, indicating the selected temperature is maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in this book.

NOTE: When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high fat foods, it may be necessary to empty the drip tray to avoid grease overflowing onto the countertop.

Grease may be hot!

NOTE: Some countertops are sensitive to heat, use care not to place griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

Griddle surfaces are hot during use. Allow to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

USING THE KEEP WARM SETTING

Your Oster Griddle features a Keep Warm setting. The keep warm setting is convenient for entertaining until you're ready to serve. When your food is done cooking, simply switch the temperature dial to the keep warm setting and the griddle will maintain a low heat to keep your food warm until you are ready serve.
