IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and
manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that
you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all
instructions and important safeguards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed as below:
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles only.

shock, do not immerse or partially
immerse the cord, plugs, or the entire
unit in water or any other liquid.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Clean the griddle surface with a damp cloth to wipe off dust or any unwanted
residue.
• NEVER soak the unit in water and NEVER use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
on the non-stick surface as they might damage the coating.
• Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the non-stick surface of the griddle.
• Plug the power cord into a 120V AC outlet and set the temperature to 445°F for
approximately 3-5 minutes.
NOTE: The initial rst use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is caused by the unit
burning off the protective coating that is applied during
manufacturing. It is normal and harmless.
• After the allotted time, turn the thermostat to “OFF” position then unplug the
cord.
• Detach the cord from the griddle and let the unit cool down.
PFOA-FREE NONSTICK COATING
The cooking surface is coated with a PFOA-Free nonstick nish. This minimizes the
need for oil, prevents food from sticking, and makes cleaning easier.
Do not use metal cooking utensils or abrasive cleaning tools on nonstick surfaces
as they will damage the coating. Use only warm soapy water and remove stubborn
residue with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon brush.
NOTE: Do not use nonstick cooking spray as they can impact the performance of
the nonstick surface.
