4. Plug the griddle into the wall outlet and rotate the dial to the desired temperature setting (see the chart on the next page). Allow the griddle to preheat for approximately 6 to 10 minutes. When it reaches the selected temperature, the power light will turn off, but the unit is on and ready to cook food.

5. Place the food on the griddle. Be careful not to overload it.
   Note: To maintain the correct temperature, the power light may cycle on and off during cooking. This is normal.

6. Let the food cook. Follow the suggested cooking times for the recipe used.

7. Remove the food with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp ob-jects or utensils. Do not cut food while it is on the griddle surface. This is unsafe and bad for your griddle. Be careful when removing cooked food from the griddle, AS IT WILL BE HOT.
