THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.

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 GRIDDLE. 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 unintentionally.

ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the Griddle may not operate properly. The Griddle must be operated on a separate circuit from other operating appliances.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

1. Socket for Temperature Control Probe
2. Reversible Ceramic Non-Stick Cooking Surfaces (Grill on one side and Griddle on the other)
3. Handles
4. Removable Drip Pan
5. Base
6. Removable Temperature Control Probe with Ready Light

HOW TO:

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before using your Oster^® Reversible Grill/Griddle for the first time, please follow the instructions below:

1. Remove any stickers from the product.
2. DO NOT IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE IN WATER.
3. Clean and condition the ceramic non-stick surfaces:
   1. Make sure the probe is not inserted into the unit; otherwise remove it from the unit. Wash the cooking plate, drip pan and base with a soft sponge with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry them well.
   2. Place the drip pan and cooking plate (with Grill side up) back in the base.
   3. Set the temperature control to the off position "O" and insert the probe into the unit. If temperature control probe is not completely inserted, abnormal heating may occur, resulting in accident or damage.
   4. To condition the cooking surface, plug the appliance into the appropriate electrical outlet. Turn the temperature control knob clockwise choosing one of the low temperature settings. The orange indicator light will illuminate. Allow the unit to pre-heat until the orange ready light goes off indicating that the selected cooking temperature has been reached.
   5. Wipe a small amount of butter or margarine onto the cooking surface, spread slightly and wipe away any excess.
   6. Wait for the unit to cool, remove the temperature control probe and flip the plate (this time the Griddle side should be up).
   7. Repeat the steps (c) through (e) to condition the griddle cooking surface.

NOTE: When using the unit for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze coming out from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.

Your Oster^® Reversible Grill/Griddle is now ready to use and it will not be necessary to condition it again.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Place the drip pan correctly in the base as illustrated below.
   
   
   To prevent personal injury or property damage, this drip pan must be in place during cooking.
2. Place the cooking surface on the base (chose between the Grill or Griddle side depending on what meal you will be preparing).
   
3. Set the temperature dial to the off position "O" and insert the probe into its socket found at the side of the appliance.
4. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electrical outlet.
5. Set the temperature dial to the desired setting and pre-heat the unit until the red ready light goes off.
6. Place the foods to be prepared on top of the ceramic non-stick cooking surface.
7. Allow your foods to cook until done.
   NOTE: The red ready indicator light may turn on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to grill/griddle to perfection.
8. After you have finished using your Oster^® Reversible Grill/Griddle, turn the temperature dial to the off position "O" and unplug it from the electric outlet.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Always pre-heat the unit before using it.
• Be careful when biting into foods containing fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly after cooking.
• It is not necessary to butter the outside of breads since the unit has a non-stick surface. However, if you would like to brown the bread, it is recommended spreading a small amount of butter or margarine.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug and allow unit to cool completely before cleaning.
• Remove temperature control probe. DO NOT IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
• Remove cooking plate holding it by the handles.
• Remove the drip pan carefully to avoid spilling the water with any collected oils, juices and liquids.
• Wash the cooking plate, drip pan and base with a soft sponge with hot, soapy water. DO NOT use a steel wool pad or other abrasive cleansers, which may damage the non-stick surface. Rinse and dry them well. These parts are dishwasher safe.

STORAGE

• Allow appliance to cool before storing.
• Store unit in a dry location such as a tabletop, countertop or a cupboard shelf.
