use a commercial cleaner designed for cleaning nonstick surfaces. These cleaners are
available at most grocery and hardware stores. For best results, follow the
manufacturers instructions, being careful that any cleaning solution coming in contact
with the exterior of the appliance is wiped off. After treating the griddle with a commercial
cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with a cooking oil
before using.
The outside finish of the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply
wipe away spills and drips as they occur. f food should happen to bur n on, it is easily
removed with warm, sudsy water and a dish cloth. Any food residue remaining can be
whisked away with a gentle stroke of a nylon mesh pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
MPORTANT: To insure continued accuracy of the heat control, avoid rough
handling in use and storage. Any maintenance required for this product other than
normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by our Factory.

HOW TO USE
(Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features, Figure B.
Wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Do not s bmerge
heat control or let the heat control come in contact with any liq id. )To "season" the
nonstick properties of the surface coating, rub the cooking surface of the griddle lightly
with cooking oil. Repeat periodically to maintain the nonstick properties.
1. Prepare food for cooking.
2. Plug unit into appropriate 3-prong wall socket. Turn heat control to desired temperature.
Preheat griddle for at least 5 min tes before placing food on it. Pilot light will turn
off when selected temperature is reached. During cooking, pilot light will go on and
off, indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
3. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with or without
shortening, according to taste.
4. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature time table (page 4). Heat
should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food being cooked.
Temperatures and times in the table are approximate.
5. NOTE: You may notice at higher temperatures that the left side of griddle is a little
hotter than right side, due to the nature of how heat behaves in the curve of a heating
element. This is not a defect. Use the left side to cook items that normally take a little
longer to cook. Another option is to start placing the food on the griddle from right to
left, so the right food has a little longer to cook.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall
outlet, then from appliance. Allow nit to cool completely before removing grease
tray to empty, or removing splash g ard. Splash guard is made of stainless steel
for durability. During use, it get very hot. Extreme care should be used when handling,
emptying, etc. As a precaution, always use a hot mitt or potholder.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This prod ct is for ho sehold se only.
CAUTION: For safety's sake, when using non-stick cookware or electric appliance with
nonstick coatings, keep your pet birds out of the room. Birds have respiratory systems
that are sensitive to many kinds of fumes, including fumes from overheated nonstick
cookware.
NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or
extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. f a long cord set
or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
