Multi-Function Tray

This versatile tray keeps cooked foods warm while preparing additional food. It can also be used as a spatter shield, melter/steamer, or serving tray. The griddle can be operated with or without the multi-function tray.

To use the tray, align the tray pegs with the pockets on the back of the griddle frame. Push the tray down so the pegs are fully engaged in the pockets (Fig. A). Change the position of the tray, as shown in Fig. B, for the desired use.

How To Use

Before using for the first time, wash the griddle/warmer according to the "Care and Cleaning" instructions.

1. Place the 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. To keep the griddle from moving on the countertop, do not place any portion of the foil under the griddle's feet.
2. Position the multi-function tray on the griddle, if desired. Slide the drip tray onto the tracks (Fig. A).
3. Insert the Control Master heat control probe into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
4. Turn the heat control to the desired temperature (see "Temperature-Timetable" for cooking temperatures) and preheat the griddle. The indicator light will turn off when the selected temperature is reached after approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
   NOTE: It is normal to hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metal.
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a ceramic nonstick finish, 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.
6. Place food on the griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable. Adjust the heat according to personal preference and the particular food being cooked. The indicator light will turn on and off as the griddle maintains the selected temperature.
   Use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick finish. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
7. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is complete. Unplug the heat control from the wall outlet. Allow the griddle to cool before removing the drip tray and heat control.

Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash the drip tray, multi-function tray, and griddle (including the bottom) in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the Control Master heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

After each use, clean the nonstick surface with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Firm pressure can be applied. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.

NOTICE: Do not wash the griddle in the dishwasher. 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 which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.

Soaking the griddle to loosen food residue is not necessary. If soaking the griddle is desired, do not soak for more than two hours. Soaking for more than two hours may damage the nonstick finish.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. 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 nylon mesh scouring pad or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.

The cool touch frame on the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. Any food residue remaining can be removed with warm, soapy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

Periodically check the frame attachment screws for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or cracking of the plastic frame.

To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Important Cord Information

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.

A short, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its 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.

NOTICE: The cooking surface of 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.
