Important Cord Information
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet 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.
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 rat-
ing of the appliance. The extension 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.

How To Use

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features, Fig. A. Wash griddle in warm sudsy water, rinse,
and dry. Do not immerse Control Master
nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat resis-
tant surface.
2. Insert the Control Master
into the griddle so the two electrical
pins on the griddle are fully inserted
into the heat control. Connect cord to
outlet.
3. Turn Control Master
desired temperature (see page 3 for
cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle.
Pilot light goes off when selected
temperature is reached (this takes ap-
proximately 5 to 10 minutes).
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the
griddle features a nonstick finish, food
may be prepared with little or no oil.
5. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). 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.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow
unit to cool before removing grease tray.
Note: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray.

Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control
Master
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
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.
After each use, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge*
or Scotch-Brite* Dobie** Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen
cleaners.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner
designed for cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it† destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores.
Slide drip tray into place. Preheat griddle to 225°. Combine 1 cup of hot water and 1 tablespoon of commercial cleaner.
Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over cooking surface. Continue cleaning until solu-
tion is gone. Turn griddle off and allow to cool. Wash griddle in hot, soapy water and dry.
