including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Be sure that handles are assembled and fastened properly as described on page 2 of this booklet.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
6. 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.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department or to the nearest Presto Authorized Service Station for examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

Assembly
1. Place unit upside down on an elevated surface for handle assembly. An elevated surface is necessary to
prevent placing pressure on one handle while installing the second handle. Failure to use an elevated
surface may result in damage to the rst handle installed.
2. Remove the screws from mounting projections on the griddle.
3. Position the handles lining up holes in the handles with mounting projections on the griddle.
4. Replace the screws and fasten securely, Fig. A. Caution: Over-tightening can result in stripping of
screws or cracking of handles and legs. When properly assembled, the griddle should sit level.

How To Use
Before using for the rst time, become familiar with the griddle
features, Fig. B. Wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy
water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master heat control
or let the heat control come in contact with any liquid. “Season”
the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil.
Remove excess oil with paper towel.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level surface. To prevent possible heat
damage to your counter top, place a heat resistant counter
protector, such as aluminum foil, under appliance.
2. Insert the Control Master heat control into the griddle so the
two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat
control.
3. Connect cord to a polarized outlet only. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will only t in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
4. Turn Control Master heat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when
selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes).
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick nish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
6. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference
and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
7. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow unit to cool before
removing grease tray or pouring grease from grease trough.

A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from 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 counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
