always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs, which may
be warm. Use oven mitts.

heat power 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,

number for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a
polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a
polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Pancake Basics
• Since pancake batter does not need a lot of mixing, overmixing is a frequent mistake. The dry ingredients and wet
ingredients should be stirred together until just mixed.
A few lumps will remain. If your batter looks too thick you
may add more liquid. Using the liquid that is called for in
the recipe, add only one Tablespoon at a time until the
batter reaches the desired consistency.
• A properly preheated griddle is also very important to
perfect pancakes. So don’t skip the preheating.
• Once you have poured batter onto the griddle, the
pancakes should only be turned once. When the top of the
pancake is covered with bubbles it is ready to be turned.
The second side will not take as long to cook as the first.
Your Favorite Pancakes
Make one batch of basic pancakes from your favorite scratch
recipe or a boxed mix. Preheat griddle according to directions.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the griddle. Sprinkle with one
of the following mix-ins; then turn and cook until done. Use
the suggested topping or regular syrup.
Mix-Ins: Toppings:
Mini-Chocolate Chips Whipped Topping
Chopped Pecans Maple Syrup
Chopped Peanuts Warmed Grape Jelly
Chopped Bananas Strawberry Preserves
Cooked, Crumbled Bacon Scrambled Eggs
