Safety

4. Do not immerse unit, cord or plug in liquid at any time.
5. Do not operate unattended.
6. Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended use.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Always use on a firm, dry and level surface.
9. Do not use if unit has a damaged cord or plug, in the event the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any
manner.
10. Any incorrect installation, alterations, adjustments and/or improper maintenance can lead to property loss and
injury. All repairs should be done by authorized professionals.
Instructions for First Time Use
There is a thin layer of wax paper on top of the grill plate that must be removed prior to using the griddle.
In order to protect the plates of your new grill during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface
prior to shipment. This oil is harmless, but must be removed before you begin to use. To remove, preheat the grill until
the oil liquifies. Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth. Once all of the oil is removed you can
begin to use your grill.
Operation
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet. The red "Power" light will illuminate.
2. Set the desired temperature by turning the rotary temperature knob clockwise. The heating element will begin to heat
up and the green "Heating" light will illuminate.
3. When the temperature reaches the desired setting, the green "Heating" light will cycle on and off with the heating
element to maintain the set temperature.
4. For best results, allow the unit to preheat for 15 minutes before placing food on cooking surface.
5. Turn temperature knob to the "Off" position to turn the green "Heating" light and heating element off. You must unplug
the unit for the red "Power light" to turn off.
All units come with a 6 ft. commercial cord except EG36N which must be hard wired
