Broil King PCG-10, PCG-5 - Portable Griddles Manual

INTRODUCTION

Leg extenders may be flipped down to raise the back of the griddle so that fats drain away from the food and into the drip tray while cooking greasy items such as bacon. (Keep the leg extenders flipped up to keep the griddle surface level if you are cooking runny items like eggs, pancake batter, etc.

HOW TO USE

(Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features, Figure B. Wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Do not submerge heat control or let the heat control come in contact with any liquid. ) To "season" the nonstick properties of the surface coating, rub the cooking surface of the griddle lightly with cooking oil. Repeat periodically to maintain the nonstick properties.

1. Prepare food for cooking.
2. Plug unit into appropriate 3-prong wall socket. Turn heat control to desired temperature. Preheat griddle for at least 5 minutes before placing food on it. Pilot light will turn off when selected temperature is reached. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off, indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
3. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with or without shortening, according to taste.
4. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature time table (See "Temperature/Approximate Cooking Times"). Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food being cooked. Temperatures and times in the table are approximate.
5. NOTE: You may notice at higher temperatures that the left side of griddle is a little hotter than right side, due to the nature of how heat behaves in the curve of a heating element. This is not a defect. Use the left side to cook items that normally take a little longer to cook. Another option is to start placing the food on the griddle from right to to left, so the right food has a little longer to cook.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet, then from appliance. Allow unit to cool completely before removing grease tray to empty, or removing splash guard. Splash guard is made of stainless steel for durability. During use, it get very hot. Extreme care should be used when handling, emptying, etc. As a precaution, always use a hot mitt or potholder.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, disassemble and wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE HEAT CONTROL IN WATER OR LET IT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY LIQUID. Periodically, "season" the cooking surface by rubbing with cooking oil to maintain the nonstick properties.
Only nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils should be used. Metal utensils may not be used. Do not use a knife to cut the food on the cooking surfaces.
If there is any food residue remaining on the surface, it should be removed after each use. To do so, scrub gently with a fine cleansing pad such as nylon mesh or other ordinary cleansing pad. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE KITCHEN CLEANERS.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the healing element. This is normal and will not seriously alter the release properties of the surface. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed for cleaning nonstick surfaces. These cleaners are available at most grocer y and hardware stores. For best results, follow the manufacturer's instructions, being careful that any cleaning solution coming in contact with the exterior of the appliance is wiped off. After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with a cooking oil before using.
The outside finish of the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. If food should happen to burn on, it is easily removed with warm, sudsy water and a dish cloth. Any food residue remaining can be whisked away with a gentle stroke of a nylon mesh pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

To insure continued accuracy of the heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage. Any maintenance required for this product other than normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by our Factory.

For safety's sake, when using non-stick cookware or electric appliance with nonstick coatings, keep your pet birds out of the room. Birds have respiratory systems that are sensitive to many kinds of fumes, including fumes from overheated nonstick cookware.

NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
