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.

Before the First Use

Remove all packing material. Set the handles, drip tray, and heat control aside. Wash the griddle according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions on page 3.

Before using this griddle, the handles must be attached as instructed below:

1. Place the griddle cooking surface side down on a flat surface (Fig. A).

2. Position one of the handles, feet side up, over the griddle so that the two handle holes are directly over the latch clip catches. The latch clip levers will rest on the catches.

3. Pull the latch clips back beyond the catches (Fig. B) and push the handle down until it is firmly seated against the griddle. Release the latch clips to lock the handle into place. To be sure the handle is securely attached, check that both latch clips are under the edge of the latch clip catches (Fig. C).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other handle.

How To Use

1. Place assembled griddle on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. Slide drip tray onto tracks.

2. If desired, “season” the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.

3. 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 cord to outlet.

4. Turn Control Master  heat control to desired temperature (see page 4 for cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).

Note: As the griddle heats up, you may hear a clicking sound; 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.

5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.

6. Place food on griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable (page 4).

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 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.

7. 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.

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.

To disassemble the griddle handles for cleaning and storage:

1. Initially, place the griddle cooking surface side down on the counter. Remove each of the handles by pulling the latch clips back until the clips clear the edge of the latch clip catches (Fig. B). While holding the clips back, lift the handle from the griddle. With practice, you will be able to open the clips and remove the handles while the griddle is in an upright position.

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° F. 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. 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 a cooking oil before using.

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