• When cooking fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts under to
prevent overcooking.
• 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.
• 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 burn on the outside without cooking through the
middle.
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 dial counter clockwise to ‘min’ and
unplug from the wall outlet.
• Remove temperature control probe, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Use a plastic or silicone spatula to assist with removal of any excess fat and food
particles.
• Empty the drip tray.
• Wash griddle and drip tray in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. The
drip tray may be washed in the dishwasher, top-rack only. Do not wash griddle in
the dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the griddle in water unless the probe has been
removed. The temperature control probe and probe receptacle must always be
completely dry before use.
• 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.
