Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
1.
To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the power cord, plug or
temperature control probe in water or any other liquid.
2.
Do not use in the bathroom or near any source of water. Do not use outdoors.
3.
Always use the appliances handles as some parts will be hot. The temperature of accessible
surfaces/parts may become very hot when the appliance is operating.
•
If cooking more than one item, try to select foods of even thickness to promote uniform
cooking.
•
When cooking small portions, make sure meat is centred on griddle. When cooking
larger portions, distribute evenly and allow 25mm of space between foods to promote
uniform cooking.
•
Some foods such as eggs and pancakes cook better if the non-stick surface is
conditioned with cooking oils before preheating. If necessary, remove excess oil with a
paper towel.
•
Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at too high a
temperature can cause them to dry out.
•
If food is undercooked when removed from griddle, simply return to griddle
for additional cooking time.
Care and Cleaning
Warning: To avoid electric shock, unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. DO NOT IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE, CORD OR PLUG IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow griddle to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
•
Before cleaning, turn the temperature control knob to ‘OFF’ and unplug from the wall
outlet. Remove temperature control probe, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
•
Place drip tray under front of griddle with the handle facing out. Using the spatula,
scrape off any excess fat and food particles.
•
Empty the drip tray.
•
Wash griddle, drip tray and spatula in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
Caution: temperature control probe and probe receptacle must always be completely
dry before use. The drip tray and plastic spatula may be washed in the dishwasher,
top-rack only. Do not wash griddle in the dishwasher.
•
Stubborn Build-up: If necessary, use a non-metallic scrubbing pad to clean the griddle.
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any part of the appliance.
Storage
Unplug unit, allow to cool and clean before storing. Store in a clean, dry place. Never store
griddle while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance as
this could cause the cord to fray and break.
