IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse HEATING BASE and

cord in water or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near

children. This appliance is not to be used by 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 after

the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call

Customer Service(see warranty) to return for examination, repair, or

adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by manufacturer

may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated

surfaces.

10.Do not place the assembled appliance on or near a hot gas or electric

burner, or in a heated oven.

11.Extreme caution must be used when moving appliance containing hot

oil or other hot liquids.

12.Do not operate the griddle unless fully assembled. Place GRIDDLE

PLATE on HEATING BASE first, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to

13.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14.To disconnect and prior to removing GRIDDLE PLATE from HEATING

BASE, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”, then remove plug

15.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

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.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from

entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY

BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING

SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE

GRIDDLE. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the

counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,

griddle may not operate properly. Griddle must be operated on a separate

circuit from other operating appliances.

CAUTION: Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to

place griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC GRIDDLE

Before use, wash the GRIDDLE PLATE and LID 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 GRIDDLE PLATE is sitting securely on the HEATING

BASE. The GRIDDLE PLATE 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 GRIDDLE PLATE 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 CONTOL DIAL to

"OFF". Plug griddle into standard 120V

AC outlet and turn TEMPERATURE

CONTROL DIAL 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 CONTROL PANEL 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 CONTROL DIAL 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.
