WARNING: A risk of fire and electrical shock exists in all

electrical appliances and may cause personal injury or death.
Please follow all safety instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFEG UARDS (Con’t.)

■ When using this appliance, provide 4 to 6 inches air space on all
sides for air circulation. Do not use on surfaces where heat may

SAVE TH ES E I N STRU CTIO NS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the

risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from
local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is
necessary. The cord must also be: (1) marked with an electrical
rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC P OWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly.
It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from
other appliances.

PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the

finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place
NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance
and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

This product is for household use only.

1. Before first use, see Cleaning Instructions and Hints For Care and
Use of Non-Stick Surface.

2. Insert drip tray into rails under Griddle, positioned directly
under the grease drain.

3. Turn temperature control knob on probe to OFF position and
attach securely in place.

4. Coat the non-stick surface with vegetable shortening before
heating. If necessary, remove excess oil with paper towel.

Plug into 120V AC outlet. Align the pointer to the proper
temperature on temperature control knob. The light on the probe
will illuminate. The unit is preheated when the light on the probe
goes off. The light will cycle on and off during use, indicating the
proper temperature is being maintained.

5. When cooking is finished, turn temperature control knob on
control probe to OFF position, unplug from outlet and cool
before cleaning.

CAUTION: Because some countertop finishes are more affected
by heat than others, use care not to place Griddle on surfaces
where heat may cause a problem.

CAUTION: Griddle surfaces are hot during use.

Hints For Care and Use
of Non- Stick Sur face

■ To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects
on Griddle.

■ Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high
temperatures can cause discoloration and shorten the life span of
any non-stick surface. If higher temperatures are necessary,
preheat on medium for a few minutes.

■ Use only nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils with care to avoid
scratching the non-stick surface. Never cut food on the Griddle.

■ Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish
washing liquid; DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.

Temperature Control Probe

Use only the temperature control probe (P/N 21698) supplied with
this product. Using any other type of temperature control probe may
cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
