HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
1.
Place the griddle on a flat, level surface, such as a countertop or table.
2.
Make sure the temperature control knob is in the “OFF” position and drip
tray is properly inserted.
3.
Plug griddle into a 120 volt 60Hz AC outlet.
4.
Preheat the griddle by aligning the temperature control knob indicator
with the appropriate temperature setting for approximately 15 minutes
prior to use. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the
griddle is in use. When the power indicator light goes out, the griddle
surface is preheated to the desired temperature and is ready for use.
During cooking, the power indicator light will go on and off
indicating that the surface temperature is being maintained.
NOTE:
See the cooking time and temperature chart on page 6 for suggested cook
times.
5.
Use only wood, nylon, or heat-proof plastic utensils. Metal utensils will
scratch the non-stick cooking plate of the griddle.
NOTE:
Never cut food with a knife on the griddle.
6.
When cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob to the “OFF”
position and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
7.
Allow griddle to cool before removing grease tray and temperature
control probe and cleaning.
NOTE:
When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high fatty foods, it
may be necessary to empty the drip tray to avoid grease from overflowing.
CAUTION:
Some countertops are more sensitive to heat. Use care not to place the
griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.
