Thank-you for purchasing a Ginny’s Brand
Electric Griddle with Backsplash. Person-
ally, mine has gotten me through many big
breakfasts (especially after my boys have
had sleep overs). Everybody’s fed fast…
and everybody’s appreciative. Whether
you have bigger batches of pancakes in
mind—or your bustling kitchen just needs
another cooking station, we think you’re
going to love the added ease, function and
(thanks to the backsplash) tidiness.
Enjoy!
“Life is happening.
We’ll help you live it...one moment at a time.”

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
1. Always remove any packaging materials rst before using.
2. Always place the griddle on a stable, heat-resistant and level
surface when using.
3. Wipe the non-stick cooking surface and exterior with a soft damp
cloth.
4. Wash the grease tray with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Let dry before using.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
to clean any parts of the griddle.
Never immerse the unit in water at any time.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This
is a safety feature. The plug will t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician.
Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the
plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of injuring
yourself from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords may be used if you exercise caution
during use.
3. If a longer cord is used please note the following:
• The marked electrical rating of the 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 tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

TO CARE FOR THE NON-STICK SURFACE:
1. Do not stack things on the nonstick surface while storing.
2. Store your griddle in a dry location.
3. Use only nylon plastic, or wooden utensils.
4. Never cut food while it is on your griddle.
5. Use the lowest temperature possible to cook your food.
Use of prolonged high temperatures will discolor the
nonstick surface.
CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE:
1. Never carry or move the griddle while it’s hot or while you are
cooking with it.
2. Make sure the temperature dial is turned “off” and the cord is
unplugged and removed from the griddle.
3. Always allow the griddle to cool completely before cleaning.
4. Grease drawer and backsplash can be removed completely and
washed with warm soapy water.
5. DO NOT IMMERSE THE GRIDDLE IN WATER.
6. Use a wet, soft plastic net scouring pad and mild dishwashing liquid
to remove grease and stuck-on food.
7. Hold the griddle almost upright in the sink and carefully run water on
the cooking surface to rinse, being careful not to immerse the griddle
or get the plug area wet.
8. Clean the exterior of the griddle with a damp cloth.
HOW TO OPERATE
BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Clean the griddle and the accessories. It is advisable to heat up the
griddle for 10 minutes without food to eliminate any manufacturing
residues.
2. Ensure that the room is well ventilated during this operation and
during use.
3. Carefully unfold the backsplash side panels. Insert the backsplash
in the groove on the sides and back of the griddle.
4. Slide the grease drawer into position under the griddle on the
support rails.
USE
1. Plug the appliance into a socket which is in good condition and
grounded to avoid any danger.
2. Unplug the electric power cord after use and before cleaning,
maintenance or assembling any accessories.
3. Connect the thermostat controller to the appliance. Check that the
thermostat button is in the minimum position
4. Select the cooking temperature on the thermostat control.
The indicator light will switch on to indicate that the appliance is
heating up.
5. Preheat the griddle to reach the ideal cooking temperature. When
the appliance has reached the desired temperature, the indicator
light will switch off.
6. Then place the food on the griddle.
7. The cooking time will depend on the type of food and your
personal taste.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
1. Defrost frozen foods before cooking them.
2. To cook meat, put the thermostat button in its maximum position
and make sure that the griddle has been fully preheated before
cooking.
3. Take care not to scratch the special coating on the cooking plate as
it will lose its non-stick quality. Use a traditional wooden spatula or
a specially designed heat resistant plastic utensil.
Do not use sharp and/or pointed metal objects.
4. In the event of partial use of the griddle surface, place all food in
the centre of the griddle.
