Important Cord Information
Connect the power supply 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 fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
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 countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features, Fig. A. Wash griddle 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, heat resistant sur
face.
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. Connect cord
to outlet.
3. When cooking meats, pull out on handles to tilt the
grilling surface, Fig. A. This allows excess fat to
drain into the drip tray.When cooking other foods,
such as eggs and pancakes, be sure the handles are
pushed in so the griddle is level.
4. Turn Control Master
heat control to desired
temperature (see page 4 for cooking temperatures).
Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected
temperature is reached (this takes approximately
5 to 10 minutes).
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle
features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared
with little or no oil.
6. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 4). 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.
