……USING YOUR GRIDDLE……………..

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1) Always remove any packaging materials first before using.

2) Always place the griddle on a stable and leveled surface when using.

3) Wipe the non-stick cooking surface with a soft damp cloth.

4) Wash the grease tray and warming drawer with warm soapy water and rinse
thoroughly. Let dry before using.

5) Wipe the exterior of the unit clean with a soft damp cloth.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any parts of the
griddle.
Never immerse the unit in water at any time.

ASSEMBLING THE GRIDDLE & SPLASH GUARD:

 Make sure all packaging materials are removed from the splash guard.
 Open the folding hinges to the splash guard and align it to the back end of

the griddle.

 There are two Locking Ledges located on the bottom of the splash guard.
 Snap the locking ledges onto the rim edge of the griddle by pushing slightly

forward.

 TO REMOVE: Gently push the splash guard backwards away from the

griddle unit to snap it out of position, and then left upwards and away from
the griddle.

PREHEATING:

1) Make sure the griddle is unplugged.

2) Attach the power cord to the griddle. Make sure the temperature is set to
OFF.

3) Plug the cord into a power outlet.

4) Set the temperature control of the griddle to the desired temperature setting.

5) The indicator light will come on. It will periodically shut itself off and on to
maintain the temperature setting.

6) Within 5 minutes, the griddle will be hot to the touch and ready to use.

COOKING:

1) Prepare desired food or recipes and place onto griddle.

2) Any oils or grease will slide into the oil grooves on the outer rim of the
griddle surface. They will slowly drip into the grease tray.

3) Any unwanted debris from food can also be pushed into these areas.

4) When food is done cooking, they can be placed into the warming drawer to
keep warm. Note: Warming Drawer will not work if the griddle is turned off.

HINTS FOR CARE OF NON-STICK SURFACE:

 To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack household objects onto

griddle surface for storage.

 Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures can

cause discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface. If higher
temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium for a few minutes.

 Use only nylon plastic, or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching the non-

stick surface.

 Never cut or prepare food on the griddle surface.
 Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid.

….CARE & CLEANING ..

 Clean the unit only after you have unplugged it for 2 – 3 hours or until the

unit has completely cooled.

 Make sure the griddle is turned “off” before putting it into storage. Never

carry or move the griddle while it’s hot or during cooking process.

 Grease Tray and Warming Drawer can be removed completely and washed

with warm soapy water.

 Do not scour the non-stick cooking surface.
 Do not immerse the unit in water.
 Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth.
 Store the unit in a dry location.

. SHORT CORD PURPOSE……..…

1) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of injuring yourself from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if you exercise caution
during use.

3) If a longer cord is used please note the following:

- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top of
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally

If this appliance has a polarized plug (meaning one blade is wider than the other
one), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only in one direction. 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.
