SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

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

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, attach the handles as instructed below:

1. With the cooking surface down, place the griddle on a flat surface, such as a countertop or tabletop (Fig. A).
2. With the rubber feet up, position one of the handles over the griddle so 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 (Fig. B) beyond the catches 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

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 product and will void the product warranty.

1. Place the assembled griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and other objects.
   NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a 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 onto its tracks. Insert the heat control probe into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect the cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

3. Turn the heat control to the desired temperature; see page 3 for the temperature-timetable. Preheat the griddle. The pilot light goes off when the selected temperature is reached, in ap-proximately 5 to 10 minutes.
   NOTE: It is normal to hear a clicking sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metal.

4. Prepare the food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
   NOTICE: A void using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.

5. Place the food on griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable. Adjust the heat according to personal preference and the particular food being cooked. The pilot light will go on and off indicating the selected temperature is being maintained.
   Use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick finish. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.

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

Care and Cleaning

To disassemble the griddle handles for cleaning and storage, place the griddle on the counter with the cooking surface down. 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. Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the griddle in warm, sudsy water; rinse and dry thor-oughly. 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. Do not immerse the Control Master® heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

NOTICE: To maintain the appearance of the griddle, do not wash it in the dishwasher. The bottom of the griddle will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent and a gray residue may form which may transfer onto towels and/or skin. Soaking the griddle to loosen food residue is not necessary. However, if soaking is desired, do not soak for more than two hours as this may damage the nonstick finish on the griddle. In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. Slide the drip tray into place and preheat the griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip a cleaning pad into a cleaning solution of one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent per one cup of hot water and rub it over the cooking surface. Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow it to cool. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water and dry. After treating the griddle, wipe the cooking surface lightly with vegetable oil before using.

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