Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing this quality Courant Personal Griddle! This appliance is fun for trying new recipe combinations. No assembly is required. This guide will cover the steps used to prepare food with your griddle. Please read all of these instructions before first use to safely get the most out of your new appliance.

Features:

  • Bake Personal Pizza pies with a crispy crust or reheat frozen mini pizzas
  • Bakes rapidly, cooking food in less than 10 minutes
  • Sleek design with non-stick 7” cooking surface
  • Easy cleanup. Food slides right off the griddle

Before using your griddle for the first time:

  1. Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all labels and packaging materials.
    Do not plug the appliance in yet.

  2. Take special care when unpacking. Ensure there is no damage.

  3. Clean the appliance (see the Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance section later in this guide). When the appliance is completely dry, place it on a dry, stable, level surface.
    Ensure it is kept away from any surface edges.
    During initial use, you may notice a slight odor due to the release of manufacturing residues. This is normal and will disappear after a few uses.

  2. Handle
  3. Indicator lights (green and red)

Operating the Griddle

**** Do not plug in the appliance until it is time to heat the unit and start the cooking process. Do not leave it plugged in if it is not in use!

  1. Before plugging in your griddle and using it for the first time, open the unit by lifting upward on the handle. The top section will rest in a vertical position.

  2. Clean the cooking surface thoroughly by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened with hot water. Dry the surface with a cloth or paper towel.

  3. Lightly brush or spray the cooking surface with cooking oil or non-stick spray.

  4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

  5. The red power indicator light will turn on. The griddle will need to preheat for 5 minutes before baking. When the unit has reached the proper temperature and is ready, the green indicator light will turn on.
    CAUTION: THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE GETS HOT DURING COOKING AND PREHEATING.

  6. Place the food on the griddle. Be careful not to overload it so that the lid can close properly for cooking.

  7. Make sure the green indicator light is now on and close the lid.
    Note: The hinge is designed to be somewhat loose. This allows any dough or batter to rise and for steam to escape.

  8. Let the food cook. Follow suggested baking times in the recipe used. You may periodically lift the lid to check how cooked the food is.

  9. Remove the food with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils.
    When removing cooked food from the machine, BE CAREFUL AS THEY WILL BE HOT.

  10. When finished using the appliance, be sure to unplug it!
    If more food is to be cooked immediately after, keep the griddle closed so that it retains heat. Always wait until the green “ready” light turns on before cooking again.

Recipes
This griddle is a hot plate cooker for a wide variety of snacks. It can be a pizza maker or it can make large cookies, snack mixes, sweet rolls, nacho, rolls and lots more.
Search for ideas and creative recipes on the internet. Be creative and safe!
Additional Operating Instructions and Tips

  • Remove food with a heat-proof plastic spatula or tongs. Do not use sharp objects or utensils.
  • Keep the lid closed while cooking. Only open the lid when cooking is finished.
  • The unit is designed for food to be eaten while hot and fresh. However, food can also be baked ahead of time for snacks and lunches. You may wish to cool it on a rack for 10 minutes. Then, place it in a container or plastic bag and seal it tightly.
  • The griddle has a non-stick surface for even baking and easy clean–up. A small amount of oil can be added to the unit for additional flavor if desired.

Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance

There is no disassembly required to clean this unit.

  1. **** Always switch off the appliance and unplug it before cleaning.
  2. Do not clean the unit until it has fully cooled.
  3. Clean the power/base unit with a damp, lint-free cloth but do not get it wet. Do not use abrasive tools or harsh cleaning solutions.
