This is a Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse heat control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department (see page 4) for examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.
12. Always attach heat control to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to OFF then remove plug
from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

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, Fig. A. Wash griddle according to the “Care and Cleaning”
instructions below.
NOTE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray.
1. Position griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface with the
drip tray towards the back of the counter.
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 a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Masterheat control to desired temperature (see page
3 for cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off
when selected temperature is reached; this takes 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 should 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 (page 3). 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 then from appliance. Allow griddle to
cool before removing drip tray.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: To maintain the appearance of your griddle, do not wash in the dishwasher. The decorative trim and the bottom of the griddle
will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent. In addition, a gray residue may form on the trim and griddle
bottom and may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
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.
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 1 cup of hot water and 1 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 hot, soapy water and dry. After treating the
griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with cooking oil before using.
