IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse heat control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near 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 in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Do not operate if the legs and/or cool-touch base become cracked or damaged. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto™ accessory and replacement parts.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid. If it must be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme caution.
12. Always attach heat control to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to OFF, and then unplug cord from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

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, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.

If 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 also be arranged so that it will not drape over the table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

HOW TO USE

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master® heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this appliance for purposes different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the appliance and will void the warranty.

1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and other obstacles.

NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a Nonstick cooking surface heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the griddle. Take care not to place the foil under the griddle’s legs.

2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the heat control into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect the power cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn the heat control to desired temperature and preheat the griddle. The pilot light goes off when the selected temperature is reached, in about 5 to 10 minutes.

NOTE: You may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating. This is normal and due to the expansion of the metal as it heats. You may also hear this sound as the griddle cools down.

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

NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.

5. Place the food on the griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable on page 3. Adjust the heat according to personal preference and the particular food being cooked.

During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off to indicate the desired temperature is being maintained. For best results, use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the non-stick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.

6. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is done. Unplug from the wall outlet and then from the griddle. Allow the griddle to cool before removing the drip tray and before cleaning.

TEMPERATURE–TIMETABLE

CARE AND CLEANING

After each use, remove heat control and wash the griddle in warm, soapy water. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The nonstick cooking surface may be cleaned 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.

Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse Control Master® heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

NOTICE
 If you choose to wash the griddle in the dishwasher, the bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form on the griddle bottom which may transfer to towels or to skin.

In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. This discoloration can be removed by dissolving one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent in one cup of hot water.

Slide the drip tray into place. Preheat the griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip the cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over the cooking surface, being careful gloves do not come in contact with the hot cooking surface. Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow to cool. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. After treating the griddle, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable oil before using.

Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.

NOTICE
Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of frames.

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

About how many slices of bread can be cooked at once? (I’m thinking grilled cheese)

You can get at least 8 slices of bread on this grill. I love it. You can make a pile of pancakes very fast. I make extras and freeze them so my husband can fix his own breakfast quickly. You can cook a whole pound of bacon too.

In making scrambled eggs, how can I prevent the raw eggs from dripping into the drip tray? Gross. Any recommendations?

We find that setting your dial to a higher temperature works best. (375-400) Preheat for 5-10 minutes to ensure the egg mixture does not run fast towards the drip tray hole. Carefully and slowly pour the scrambled eggs (we suggest no more than 3) towards the back of the griddle and using a non-metallic spatula, help them along to prevent running into the hole.

The Presto® Control Master® heat control measures about 30 inches long. If there are any further questions,
