A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension 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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not
immerse Control Master
NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot
plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes
different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause
damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
1. Place assembled griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface
away from walls, cabinets, and other objects.
NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop,
place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil,
under the griddle; take care not to place the foil under the griddle's
legs.
2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the Control Master
inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Master
when selected temperature is reached, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating; this is due to the expansion of the metal
as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a ceramic nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable. Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and
particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
For best results use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the ceramic non-
stick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow griddle to
cool before removing drip tray and before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
After each use, remove heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Make sure to also clean the
underside, as necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse Control Master
or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: Repeated washings in a dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In addition,
the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form on the
griddle bottom which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To minimize or remove this discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over
the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow paste to sit for several minutes and then scour with a plastic scouring pad,
such as Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad, or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.
