HOW TO USE YOUR FOLDING GRIDDLE

3. Make sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOBS are in the “OFF” position.

4. Plug Griddle into a 120 volt 60Hz AC outlet.

5. Preheat the Griddle by aligning the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB indicator with the appropriate temperature setting for approximately 15 minutes prior to use. The INDICATOR LIGHTS will illuminate, indicating that the Griddle is being preheated. When the INDICATOR LIGHTS go out, the Griddle surface is preheated to the desired temperature and is ready for use. During cooking, the INDICATOR LIGHTS will go on and off indicating that the surface temperature is being maintained.

6. The Fold ‘n Store™ Griddle is equipped with dual, independent controls allowing you to cook 2 different kinds of foods at one time. Or it has the ability to warm food on one side and cook food on the other side.

7. Use only wood, nylon, or heat-proof plastic utensils. Metal utensils will scratch the non-stick COOKING PLATES of the Griddle. NOTE: Never cut food with a knife on the Griddle.

8. When cooking is complete, turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOBS to the “OFF” position and unplug the POWER CORD from the outlet.

9. Allow Griddle to cool before removing COOKING PLATES and GREASE TRAY and cleaning.

NOTE: When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high fatty foods, it may be necessary to empty the GREASE TRAY to avoid grease from overflowing.

CAUTION: Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to place the Griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.
