electric Cool-Touch Griddle

Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not
immerse Control Masterheat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot
plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes dif-
ferent from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage
to the product and will void the product warranty.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. NOTICE: To pre-
vent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a heat-resistant
counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the griddle; take care
not to place the foil under the griddle’s legs.
2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the Control Masterheat control
into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully
inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Masterheat control to desired temperature. Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached;
this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes. NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating;
this is due to the expansion of the metal as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil. NOTICE: Avoid
using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable below. Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference
and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
For best results, use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick
surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet and then from appliance. Allow griddle
to cool before removing drip tray and before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
After each use, remove heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. The cooking surface may be cleaned with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub
Sponge or Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do
not immerse Control Masterheat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: If you choose to wash the griddle in the dishwasher, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of
the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form on the griddle bottom which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed for
cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it* destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores. Slide drip tray into place.
Preheat griddle to 225°. Combine one cup of hot water and one tablespoon of commercial cleaner. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning
pad into cleaning solution and rub over cooking surface, being careful so gloves do not contact hot cooking surface. Continue cleaning
until solution is gone. Turn griddle off and allow to cool. Wash griddle in warm, soapy water and dry.
After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable oil
before using.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Masterheat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
