POLARIZED PLUG
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. If the plug fits loosely
into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
Before use, wash the GRIDD E P ATE and ID in warm soapy water or in
the dishwasher and dry completely.
CAUTION: Do not immerse HEATING BASE in water or other liquids.
1. Set the skillet on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.
2. Make sure that the GRIDD E P ATE is sitting securely on the HEATING
BASE. The GRIDD E P ATE should be snapped into place on the
HEATING BASE. Insert the left side of the plate into the left notch. Push
right spring latch outward and press the plate down. Release the spring
so plate is securely latched to HEATING BASE. Condition the non-stick
cooking surface with vegetable oil, wiping off any excess with a paper
towel. If GRIDD E P ATE is not secured on HEATING BASE the griddle
may not work properly.
3. Insert GREASE TRAY into guides
under the front of the griddle. Turn
TEMPERATURE CONTO DIA to
"OFF". Plug griddle into standard 120V
AC outlet and turn TEMPERATURE
CONTRO DIA to desired setting.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing process,
during initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may
be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not
recur after a few uses.

The TEMPERATURE CONTRO PANE is affixed to the front of the
griddle for fast and easy access to set and adjust the temperature.
1. When setting the temperature, align the desired temperature setting
on the dial with the indicator light. The indicator light is a power
indicator light and will remain on while cooking.
2. Preheat the griddle for approximately 10 minutes before use. When
cooking is complete, turn TEMPERATURE CONTRO DIA to "OFF"
by aligning with the indicator light. The indicator light will then turn
off. Unplug the cord from the outlet and allow unit to cool before
removing the griddle plate or cleaning.
WARM SETTING:
WARM is recommended for keeping already hot, fully cooked food at the
perfect serving temperature. We do not recommend using the WARM
setting for more than 4 hours.
NOTE: It may be necessary to scrape grease into the grease TRAY. Always
use wooden or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick cooking
surface.
CAUTION: Grease may be hot!
note: When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high fat foods,
it may be necessary to empty the grease tray to avoid grease overflowing
onto the countertop.
