How to Use
Before using for the rst time, become familiar with the griddle
features, Fig. A. 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 heat damage to
your countertop, always place a heat resistant counter protector
under any heat generating appliance.
2. Insert Control Master® heat control into appliance. Be sure
the control is inserted into the electrical pins on the appliance.
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.
3. Turn Control Master® heat control to desired temperature.
Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature
is reached. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off
indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a
nonstick nish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
5. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperaturetimetable (page 2). Heat should be adjusted according to
personal preference and particular food being cooked.
6. 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.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used
if care is properly exercised in their use.
If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle
in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control
Master® heat control in water or let it come in contact with any
®
liquid.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do
not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do
not cut foods on the cooking surface.
If there is any food residue remaining on the cooking surface or
on the cool-touch base, it should be removed after each use. To
do so, scrub gently with a mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub® mild
abrasive cleanser** or a ne cleansing pad–nylon mesh or other
ordinary cleansing pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen
cleaners.

In time, the nonstick nish may darken over the heating element.
To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed
for cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it® destainer**. These cleaners
are available at most grocery and hardware stores. For best results,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, being careful that any
cleaning solution coming in contact with the cool-touch base or the
exterior of the appliance is wiped off.
Some discoloration may occur inside the griddle drip tray. This is
normal. The amount of discoloration will vary depending on the
foods cooked and the temperature setting used. This discoloration
is only visible from the inside of the drip tray and will not affect the
performance of the griddle.
After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is
recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with a
cooking oil before using.
The cool-touch base on the griddle is easy to keep attractive and
looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. Any
food residue remaining can be whisked away with a gentle stroke
of a nylon mesh pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
