BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove the sticker from the hot plate. Wash the hot plate and drip tray in warm
soapy water using a mild household detergent. Dry the hot plate and drip tray thor-
oughly. Place the drip tray into base.
• For better non-stick performance, “season” the cooking surface of the hotp late by
applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rubbing in with paper toweling before each
use.
IMPORTANT: Charcoal or similar combustible fuels must not be used with this appliance.
USING THE APPLIANCE
1. Insert the control probe fully into the socket of the hot plate.
2. Plug the cord into a power outlet and turn the power ON.
3- Set the control probe dial to the desired heat setting. When the thermostat lights on
the control probe switches off, the desired cooking temperature has been reached and
the appliance is ready to use.
Note 1: the thermostat light on the control probe indicates that the appliance is heating.
This light will remain ON until the set temperature has been reached and then will cycle
ON and OFF throughout cooking. This will ensure that the grill always maintains the se-
lected temperature.
The preheat time will depend on the heat setting selected. If a high heat setting is select-
ed, a longer preheat time is required.
Note 2: when using on high heat settings, the device will generate smoke. Selecting a
lower setting will reduce this smoke. Adequate ventilation is recommended.
3. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
• Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot plate while cooking
• Do not use sharp objects or cut food on top of the griddle.
• When cleaning the non-stick coating do not use metal or other abrasive scourers.
After cleaning, dry the griddle thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing. Always
turn the power off and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Remove the control probe from the socket of the griddle.
