Preparing to Use Your Electric Griddle for the First Time.

1. Before use, wash the Griddle, Drip Tray and Warming Tray with warm soapy water, and dry completely.
   
   Do not immerse GRIDDLE or TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE in water or other liquid.

HOW TO

Using Your Electric Griddle

1. Insert Warming Tray into guides under the front of the griddle. Insert drip tray into guides under the rear of the griddle.
2. Turn temperature probe dial to the off position and attach securely to griddle.
3. Preheat the griddle by aligning the selected temperature setting on the temperature control probe knob with the indicator light. Griddle is preheated when the light on the knob goes off. The light will cycle during use, indicating the selected temperature is maintained. For best results, wait an additional 5 minutes after the probe light goes off to ensure the griddle is at a steady temperature.

NOTE: When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high fat foods, it may be necessary to empty the drip tray to avoid grease overflowing onto the countertop.

Grease may be hot!

Some countertops are sensitive to heat, use care not to place griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

Griddle surfaces are hot during use. Allow to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

Warming Tray

Your Warming Tray can be conveniently used to keep cooked food warm while the griddle is turned on. To use, simply slide out Warming Tray and place food in tray. When done, slide in Warming Tray.
NOTE: Do not overfill warming tray. Food should not touch the bottom of the griddle plate.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable powersupply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:

1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and
3. 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 unintentionally.

Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the appliance during or after use.
