Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Griddle Safety
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs, which may be warm. Use
oven mitts.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug, or variable heat
power cord in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
Call our toll-free customer service number
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12.
Always attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “MIN”
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Use only the power cord provided with
this appliance.
14. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the griddle.
This appliance is equipped with a groundedtype 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type
of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding pin, by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance
was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be equal to or greater than the rating of the
electric griddle and be a grounded 3-wire
cord. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
Before First Use: Wash griddle in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
The griddle may also be washed in a dishwasher.

soapy water, using a plastic or nylon
scouring pad. Rinse then dry. Or
place the griddle and drip tray in
automatic dishwasher.

Pancake Basics!
•
Since pancake batter does not need
a lot of mixing, over-mixing is a frequent mistake. The dry ingredients
and wet ingredients should be stirred
together until just mixed. A few
lumps will remain. If your batter looks
too thick you may add more liquid.
Using the liquid that is called for in
the recipe, add only one tablespoon
at a time until the batter reaches
desired consistency.
Your Favorite Pancakes
Make one batch of basic pancakes from your favorite scratch recipe or a boxed
mix. Preheat griddle according to directions. Pour batter by 1⁄4 cupfuls onto the
griddle. Sprinkle with one of the following mix-ins then turn and cook until done.
Use the suggested topping or regular syrup.
Mix-Ins:
Mini-Chocolate Chips
Chopped Pecans
Chopped Peanuts
Chopped Bananas
Cooked, Crumbled Bacon
Pancakes
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1
⁄2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Preheat griddle to 375°F. Combine all ingredients in a bowl until just mixed. Using
1
⁄4
cup per pancake, pour batter onto griddle. Cook approximately 4 to 5 minutes
turning once.
Makes 10 pancakes.
•
A properly preheated griddle is also
very important to perfect pancakes.
So don’t skip the preheating.
•
Once you have poured batter onto
the griddle, the pancakes should
only be turned once. When the top
of the pancake is covered with
bubbles it is ready to be turned.
The second side will not take as
long to cook as the first.
