immerse Control Master®heat control or let the heat control come in contact with any liquid. “Season” the nonstick cooking surface by
rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.

2. 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 outlet.

NOTE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master®
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do
not cut foods on the cooking surface.
After each use, clean the nonstick surface 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, if necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.

griddle in hot, soapy water and dry.
After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with a cooking oil
before using.
Some discoloration may occur inside the griddle drip tray. This is normal. The amount of discoloration will vary depending on the foods
cooked and the temperature setting used. This discoloration is only visible from the inside of the drip tray and will not affect the perfor-
mance of the griddle.

The cool touch base on the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. Any food
residue remaining can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
