used a few more times.
BEFORE USING
Solid surface countertops can be easily scratched, cracked, scorched, or damaged,
especially when exposed to heat. To prevent damage, the following precautions should
be observed when using this product:
•
Always use a trivet under heat generating sources such as Slow Cookers, Toaster
Ovens, Skillets, etc.
•
Do not place hot pans, pots, ceramic or stoneware inserts, etc. directly on the
countertop surface.
1. Carefully unpack the griddle and all parts. Remove all packaging materials, including
any stickers or labels.
2. Wash the griddle in dishwasher or in warm soapy water. The removable drip tray
may also be washed in the dishwasher, but should be placed on the TOP RACK
ONLY. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL UNIT OR ALLOW IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY LIQUID. DO
NOT PLACE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT IN THE DISHWASHER.
3. Season the non-stick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with a cooking oil. Remove
excess oil with a paper towel.
4. Position the griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Different countertop
finishes and surfaces are effected differently by heat. Use care not to place griddle
on any surface where heat may cause a problem. Do not operate the griddle on a
finished wood countertop or table.
5. It is recommended to operate this appliance on a separate outlet and circuit from
other appliances to avoid overloading the circuit.
REMOVABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE
NOTE: Use Toastmaster Removable Temperature Control Probe Model# TP-02
ONLY. Do not use any other attachment plug or control.
Connecting the Removable Temperature Control Probe:
1. Ensure that the temperature control probe is unplugged from a wall outlet and on
the OFF setting before attaching to the griddle. Align the temperature control probe
with the terminal post of the griddle.
2. Gently slide the temperature control probe forward until it meets the pan.
3. Before using, ensure the temperature control probe is securely in place and makes
intimate contact with the griddle. If the temperature control probe is loose it is not
assembled correctly and the griddle will not properly heat.
4. Ensure the dial is in the OFF position.
