INSTRUCTIONS

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, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may

be used if care is properly exercised in its 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.

Assembly

1. Place unit upside down on an elevated surface for handle assembly. An elevated surface is necessary

to prevent placing pressure on one handle while installing the second handle. Failure to use an

elevated surface may result in damage to the first handle installed (Fig. A).

2. Remove the screws from the mounting projections on the griddle.

3. Position the handles lining up the holes in the handles with the mounting projections on the griddle.

4. Replace the screws and fasten securely (Fig. A). NOTICE: Overtightening can result in stripping of

screws or cracking of handles and legs. When properly assembled, the griddle should sit level.

How to Use

NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware.

Using this appliance for purposes different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause

damage to the appliance and will void the warranty.

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features (Fig. B). Wash

griddle according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions starting below.

1. Place the assembled griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls,

cabinets, and other objects. NOTICE: To prevent 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 counter protector between the feet of the griddle

and the counter.

2. Insert the Control Masterheat control probe into the griddle so the two electrical

pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect the cord to a

120VAC electrical outlet only.

3. Turn the heat control to the desired temperature; see page 3 for the temperature-

timetable. Preheat the griddle. The pilot light goes off when the selected temperature

is reached, in approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Note: It is normal to hear a clicking

sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metal.

4. Prepare the food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, 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 the food on the griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable. Adjust the heat according to personal preference and the

particular food being cooked. The pilot light will go on and off indicating the selected temperature is being maintained. Use nylon, plastic,

wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils nor cut foods on the cooking surface as they may scratch the finish.

6. Turn the heat control OFF when cooking is complete. Unplug the heat control from the wall outlet, and then from the griddle. Allow the griddle

to cool completely before pouring grease from the grease trough and before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. 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. Do not immerse the Control Masterheat control in water or let it come in contact with

any liquid.

NOTICE: If you choose to wash the griddle in a dishwasher, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher

detergent and a gray residue may form which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.

Soaking the griddle to loosen food residue is not necessary. However, if soaking is desired, do not soak for more than two hours as this may damage

the nonstick finish on the griddle.

In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease or food residue. This discoloration can be removed by

using a solution of one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent per one cup of hot water. Preheat griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber

gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over the cooking surface, being careful not to touch the hot surface or the edge of the griddle.

Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow to cool. Wash the 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.

The outside finish of the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. If food should happen to

burn on, it can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

Periodically check the handle screws for looseness and retighten them when necessary. NOTICE: Overtightening can result in stripping of screws or

cracking of handles and legs.

Important: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Masterheat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
