4. Foods may be prepared with or without fats. When frying, the use of a small
amount of butter, fat or oil will improve the flavor, color and crispness of foods.
When frying fatty foods such as bacon or sausage, excess grease will drain into
the grease cup through the drain hole located on the surface of the griddle.
Do
not remove the grease cup during cooking. Always allow the griddle to cool
completely before removing the grease cup.
5. Nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use on the
non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care.
Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives or food choppers as
scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the
finish; it will not harm its non-stick property.
6. When the cooking period is completed, set the temperature control dial to
“WARM” for later serving, or set the dial to “OFF” if food will be removed
immediately from the griddle. After the dial is set to “OFF,” disconnect the cord
from the wall outlet. Let the griddle cool before removing the temperature
control and grease cup.

RIDDLE
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly after each use. Do not immerse the griddle in cold
water when it is hot. Let the griddle cool completely, then remove the
temperature control and grease cup. Dispose of the grease. Immerse the
griddle and grease cup in warm, soapy water. Wipe the temperature control
with a damp cloth if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Clean the non-stick surface of the griddle with warm, soapy water, using a non-
metal cleansing pad. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring
powders.
3. Clean the non-coated aluminum underside of the griddle with warm, soapy
water and a soap-filled steel wool scouring pad. Remove stains with a
household cleanser.
4. After washing, rinse the griddle thoroughly with warm water and dry completely,
including the temperature control socket area. Replace the grease cup.
5. Your griddle and grease cup, with temperature control removed, may be
cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Clean the grease cup in the top rack only.
The underside of the griddle will discolor due to the minerals in the water and
the high heat of the drying cycle. This will not affect the cooking ability of the
griddle. Each time the griddle is cleaned in a dishwasher, the non-stick surface
should be reconditioned with cooking oil to ensure stick-free cooking. Replace
the grease cup.
