2016 National Presto Industries, Inc.
This is a Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse heat control, cord, or plug 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 in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Do not operate if the legs and/or cool-touch base become cracked or damaged. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory
Service Department (page 4) for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid. If it must be moved when it contains
hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme caution.
12. Always attach heat control to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to OFF then remove plug
from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. 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.
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 unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Getting Acquainted
The griddle legs will be in the storage position under the base when you remove the
griddle from the carton. Before each use the griddle legs must be unfolded to the
position shown in Fig. C.
To unfold the legs, lift the griddle by grasping both sides (Fig. A1). Then pull the legs
out away from the griddle until they are fully extended and locked in place (Fig. A2).
Remove drip tray (Fig. C).
Before the first use, wash the griddle and drip tray in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry.
Do not immerse Control Master heat control in water or let it come in contact
with any liquid.
NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for
heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes different from those specified
in the instruction manual may cause damage to the product and will void the product
warranty.

How To Use
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and

other objects.
NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a heat-re-
sistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the griddle; take care

2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the Control Master heat control into the
griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat
control. NOTE: You will be unable to insert the heat control if the legs are in
the folded position. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. When cooking meats, tilt the grilling surface. Pull the ribbed tabs on the tilt

levers towards you until the levers rest firmly against the griddle legs (Fig. B).
This position allows excess fat to drain into the drip tray. When cooking other
foods, such as eggs and pancakes, grip the ribbed tabs and push them towards the back of the griddle until the tilt levers are in the
horizontal position and the griddle is level (Fig. C).
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 5 to 10 minutes). NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or
clicking sound while the griddle is preheating; this is due to the expansion of the metal as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice
this sound as the unit cools down.
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
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.
For best results use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick
surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
7. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance.
CAUTION! Allow griddle to cool before removing drip tray. If griddle is in the tilt position, move it to the level position before
removing drip tray and before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
After each use, remove heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. The cooking surface and handles may be cleaned with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose
Scrub Sponge or Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the cooking surface or handles.
Do not immerse Control Master
If necessary, the decorative trim may be cleaned with a soap filled steel wool pad to remove baked-on grease or food particles. For easier
cleaning, fold the legs under the griddle. Do not use the soap filled steel wool pad to clean any other griddle surface.
NOTICE: To maintain the appearance of the griddle, do not wash it in the dishwasher. The decorative trim and the bottom of the griddle
will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form on the griddle bottom which
may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. This discoloration can be removed by
using a solution of one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent per one cup of hot water. Slide the drip tray into place.
Preheat griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over the cooking surface being careful
not to get it on the decorative trim. Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow to cool. Wash the griddle
in warm, soapy water and dry. After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped
lightly with vegetable oil before using.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
