Using the everyday griddle

Clean the Everyday Griddle and all of its components prior to assembly and use.
DO NOT use the Griddle near water or other liquids, with wet hands, or while standing on a wet surface. Make sure the Drip Tray is inserted into the Base prior to each use.

1. Set the Griddle on a clean, stable, and dry surface.
2. Slide the Drip Tray into the Base, matching up the sides of the tray to the grooves on the underside of the Base (near the Drip Outlet) (Photo A).
   
3. Unwind the power cord to the preferred length. Inspect the cord for any signs of damage or significant wear.
4. Make sure the Temperature Control Dial located on the Control Probe is set to Off prior to plugging in (Photo B).
   
5. Plug the Control Probe into the Control Probe Socket located on the Base of the griddle. Be sure to properly align the connector's single prong with the middle hole before pushing the Control Probe in. Then plug the griddle into an outlet (Photo C).
   
6. Turn the Temperature Control Dial clockwise to Low. Do not begin cooking on a high temperature setting as this may cause food to splatter or burn when placed on the nonstick Cooking Surface (Photo D).
   
7. Place ingredients onto the Cooking Surface. Allow to cook for several minutes. Slowly increase the heat setting until the temperature reaches the appropriate level for food being cooked.
8. When finished cooking, turn the Temperature Control Dial to Off.
   Wait for the Griddle to cool completely before cleaning.

Tips & tricks

HANDLE WITH CARE
The Base of the Griddle and the nonstick Cooking Surface will both be hot while in use. Use oven mitts to handle the Griddle.

SOFT TOUCH
Metal utensils will damage the nonstick surface. Use silicone, nylon, or wood utensils instead to preserve the nonstick coating.

EASIEST RELEASE
Applying a small amount of cooking oil to the nonstick Cooking Surface helps food release cleanly and easily.

NOTE
When cooking, be careful not to push food into the gap between the Cooking Surface and the Base as it may be difficult to remove when cleaning.

Cleaning & maintenance

• Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position before unplugging and cleaning. Allow the Cooking Surface to cool completely before attempting to clean.
• The Everyday Griddle is NOT dishwasher safe and should never be submerged in water; it must be handwashed.
• Clean cooled Cooking Surface with cloth or sponge dipped in warm, soapy water.
• The Drip Tray is removable and should removed, emptied, and washed with warm soapy water after each use.
• After washing the Drip Tray, ensure that it is dry before re-inserting in the griddle as water could damage the Griddle's electric parts.

Never use abrasive and/or metal cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Griddle's nonstick surface.

Do Not SUBMERGE ELECTRIC PARTS IN WATER

Do Not ALLOW WATER TO ENTER BASE

Do LET THE GRIDDLE COOL COMPLETELY

Do USE A SOFT SPONGE TO CLEAN SURFACE

Troubleshooting

Although the Everyday Griddle is simple to use and durable, please refer to the following list if problems occur:

ISSUE	SOLUTION
How do I turn the Everyday Griddle off and on?	To turn on, ensure the Temperture Control Probe is set to "Off, " plug the Control Probe into the base of the Griddle, plug the power cord into an outlet, and turn the Dial on the Control Probe from Off to Low. When cooking is complete, turn the Everyday Griddle off by returning the Temperature Control Probe to Off and unplugging it.
When using the Everyday Griddle, the Base gets very hot. Is this normal?	Yes, this is completely normal. After using the Everyday Griddle, always use protective gloves to transport it. Be careful when moving the Everyday Griddle after cooking so as not to spill grease from the Drip Tray.
I am cooking meat on the Everyday Griddle and there is moisture on the Cooking Surface. What do I do?	Any moisture should collect in the Drip Tray, which can be easily emptied. If moisture is pooling around the drip tray or spilling out, it means the Tray is full. Turn off the Everyday Griddle and empty, clean, and dry the Drip Tray. Re-insert the Drip Tray to begin cooking again.
After using the Everyday Griddle a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What is happening?	There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, then apply a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Scrub the Cooking Surface with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe from Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth thoroughly and wipe again. If food still remains, apply cooking oil once more and let sit for a few hours before scrubbing again.
