2. Always place the appliance on a at, clean and non-slippery surface before operating.
3. Always place the appliance on a heat resistant surface as the griddle plate reaches high temperatures.
4. Always leave a gap of approximately 20 cm. around the exterior of appliance.
Never use near curtains, walls, under cupboards or other ammable materials.
Caution: Griddle surfaces are hot during use.
5. Place drip pan into base.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

1. Before rst use wash the surface thoroughly to remove dirt or dust from the griddle surface.
2. Always detach power cord/temperature controller from the main supply before cleaning.
3. Always allow your appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
4. Never immerse your appliance completely in water or other liquids. Keep the element connection away from any liquids.

cleaning must be performed by a qualied appliance repair technician.
HINTS FOR CARE AND USE OF NON-STICK SURFACE:
1. Do not use non-stick cooking sprays on the non-stick surface. Such sprays burn at low temperature and tend to leave a residue on
the surface, which if not washed off after each use can reduce the effectiveness of the non-stick coating. This residue is not harmful but if it builds up
will alter the performance of the coating, preventing proper release.
2. To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects on the griddle.
3. Use only nylon, plastic or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Never cut food on the griddle.
4. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS.
5. 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, pre-heat on medium for a few minutes.
