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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How To Use
NOTICE:
This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes
different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle
features (Fig. A). Wash the griddle according to the “Care and
Cleaning” instructions below.
1. Place skillet on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from
walls, cabinets, and other objects.
NOTICE:
To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop,
place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil,
under the skillet; take care not to place the foil under the legs.
2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the Control Master
heat
control into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle
are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to a 120VAC
electrical wall outlet only.
3. When cooking meats, pull out on handles to tilt the grilling
surface (Fig. A). This allows excess fat to drain into the drip tray. When cooking other foods, such as eggs and pancakes, be sure the
handles are pushed in so the griddle is level.
4. Turn Control Master
heat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for temperature-timetable). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off
when selected temperature is reached (approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
NOTE:
Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating; 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 ceramic nonstick surface, 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.
6. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable. 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 heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the ceramic non-
stick 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 and before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Soaking the skillet to loosen
food residue is not necessary. If, however, soaking the skillet is desired, do not soak for more than two hours. Soaking for more than two
hours may damage the ceramic finish.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse Control Master
heat
control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE:
Repeated washings in an automatic dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In
addition, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent and a gray residue may form
on the griddle bottom and may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
The cool-touch base on the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. Any food
residue remaining can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
