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 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.
Before the First Use
Remove all packing material, including the black plastic piece nestled over the shipping foam to protect the plug guard. Set the handles,
drip tray, and heat control aside. Wash the griddle according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions on page 3.
Before using, attach the handles as instructed below:
1. With the cooking surface down, place the griddle on a flat surface, such as a countertop or tabletop (Fig. A).
2. With the rubber feet up, position one of the handles over the griddle so the two handle holes are directly over the latch clip catches.
The latch clip levers will rest on the catches.
3. Pull the latch clips (Fig. B) back beyond the catches and push the handle down until it is firmly seated against the griddle. Release
the latch clips to lock the handle into place.
4. To be sure the handle is securely attached, check that both latch clips are under the edge of the latch clip catches (Fig. C).
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other handle.
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 appliance for purposes different from those specified in the instruction
manual may cause damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
1. Place the assembled griddle 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 griddle. Take care not to place the counter protector
between the rubber feet on the griddle frame and the counter.
2. Slide the drip tray onto its tracks. Insert the heat control probe into the griddle so the two
electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect the cord to a
120VAC electrical outlet only.
3. Turn the heat control to the desired temperature; see page 3 for the temperature-timetable.
Preheat the griddle. The pilot light goes off when the selected temperature is reached, in
approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Note:
It is normal to hear a clicking sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is
due to the expansion and contraction of the metal.
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 the temperature-timetable. Adjust the heat
according to personal preference and the particular food being cooked. The pilot light will go
on and off indicating the selected temperature is being maintained.
Use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils or cut
food on the nonstick surface as doing either may scratch the surface.
6. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is complete. Unplug the heat control from the wall
outlet, and then from the griddle. Allow the griddle to cool completely before removing the
drip tray and before cleaning.
