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, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
If used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The exten-
sion cord should also be arranged so that it will not drape over the table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry.

NOTICE:
This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this appliance for pur-
poses different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the appliance and will void the warranty.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resis-
tant surface away from walls, cabinets,
and other obstacles.
NOTICE:
To prevent possible heat
damage to your countertop, place a
heat-resistant counter protector, such
as aluminum foil, under the griddle.
Take care not to place the foil under the
griddle’s legs.
2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the
heat control into the griddle so the two
electrical pins on the griddle are fully
inserted into the heat control. Connect the power cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn the heat control to desired temperature and preheat the griddle. The pilot light goes off when the selected temperature is reached,
in about 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE:
You may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating. This is normal and due to the expansion of the metal
as it heats. You may also hear this sound as the griddle cools down.
4. Prepare the food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE:
Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place the food on the griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable on page 3. Adjust the heat according to personal preference
and the particular food being cooked.
During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off to indicate the desired temperature is being maintained.
For best results, use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the non-
stick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
6. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is done. Unplug from the wall outlet and then from the griddle. Allow the griddle to cool
before removing the drip tray and before cleaning.
