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 power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their 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.

Before the First Use

Remove all packing material. Set the handles, drip tray, and heat control aside. Wash the griddle according to the "Care
and Cleaning" instructions on page 3.
Before using this griddle, the handles must be attached as instructed below:
1. Place the griddle cooking surface side down on a flat surface (Fig. A).
2. Position one of the handles, feet side up, over the griddle so that the two handle
holes are directly over the latch clip catches. The latch clip levers will rest on the
catches.
3. Pull the latch clips back beyond the catches (Fig. B) and push the handle down until
it is firmly seated against the griddle. Release the latch clips to lock the handle into
place. To be sure the handle is securely attached, check that both latch clips are
under the edge of the latch clip catches (Fig. C).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other handle.

How To Use

1. Place assembled griddle on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. Slide drip tray
onto tracks.
2. If desired, "season" the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking
oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
3. Insert the Control Master
pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to outlet.
4. Turn Control Master
temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is
reached (this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
Note: As the griddle heats up, you may hear a clicking sound; this is due to the
expansion of the metal as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the
unit cools down.
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may
be prepared with little or no oil.
6. Place food on griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable (page 4).
Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food being
cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature
is being maintained.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal
utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
7. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow
griddle to cool before removing drip tray.
Note: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray.
