Assembly
1. Place unit upside down on an elevated surface for handle assembly. An elevated surface is
necessary to prevent placing pressure on one handle while installing the second handle. Failure
to use an elevated surface may result in damage to the fi rst handle installed.
2. Remove the screws from mounting projections on the griddle.
3. Position the handles lining up holes in the handles with mounting projections on the griddle.
4. Replace the screws and fasten securely, Fig. A.
Caution:
Over-tightening can result in strip-
ping of screws or crack ing of handles and legs. When properly assembled, the griddle should
sit level.
How To Use
Before using for the fi rst time, become familiar with the griddle features,
Fig. B. Wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse, and
dry. Do not immerse Control Master
®
heat control or let the heat control
come in contact with any liquid. “Season” the nonstick cooking surface by
rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level surface. To prevent possible heat damage
to your counter top, place a heat resistant counter protector, such as
aluminum foil, under appliance.
2. Insert the Control Master
®
heat control into the griddle so the two
electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control.
3. Connect 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 fi t in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
4. Turn Control Master
®
heat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes
off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes).
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick fi nish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
6. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal pref-
erence and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being
maintained.
7. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow unit to cool
before pouring grease from grease trough.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in dishwasher or 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 fi nish 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. 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 solution is gone. Turn griddle off and allow to cool. Wash griddle in
hot, soapy water and dry.
After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with a cooking oil
before using. The outside fi nish of the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they
occur. If food should happen to burn on, it can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
IMPORTANT: To insure continued accuracy of the Control Master
®
heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
