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.

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.

not to place the foil under the griddle’s legs.

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.
