PARTS AND FEATURE
OPERATING YOUR GRIDDLE
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR NO-FAT GRIDDLE
The griddle non-stick surface is designed to cook using only the natural oils
and fats contained within the food—no extra fat has to be added. In addition,
during cooking much of the fat contained within the food is removed and will
be collected in the drip tray, making the food healthier than if fried or
grilled using additional oils or fats.
Best results are obtained when cooking foods containing some natural fats; for
example,
all types of meat and fish, burgers and other meat products. Other types of
food can also be cooked including vegetables and sandwiches.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use or after long periods of non-use wipe the griddle heating
plate with a damp cloth to ensure that it is clean.
- Ensure that the drip tray is inserted into place before turning the temperature control to a heat setting.
- For best results always pre-heat the griddle before use. To pre-heat, plug in the empty griddle, turn the control dial to the desired temperature setting, and allow the griddle to heat up for three to four minutes.
- After the pre-heat period, place food on the griddle. Check regularly to see how the food is cooking.
- When the food is fully cooked remove it carefully from the griddle with a spatula or plastic/wood utensil designed for use on non-stick surfaces.
- Immediately after use unplug the griddle and allow it to cool sufficiently before cleaning and storage. Always be sure to remove and clean the drip tray.
CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Ensure that the griddle is unplugged and cool before attempting to clean it.
- Never use a scouring pad or abrasive cleaner as they will damage both plastic and metal parts.
- The drip tray may be washed in hot soapy water.
- Use a spatula or plastic/wood utensil designed for use with non-stick surfaces to scrape off any excess food adhering to the heating plate. A wet non-abrasive sponge or paper towel can be used to rub off stubborn patches. Dry the non-stick heating plate thoroughly using a paper towel.
- Clean the handles and temperature control with a moistened paper towel or soft cloth.
- Dry thoroughly before further griddle use.
WARNING
- ALWAYS make sure control knob is in the 0 (off) position
- UNPLUG Griddle from the electric outlet before cleaning.
- DO NOT immerse Griddle in water or any other liquid.
NOTE: All other servicing should be performed by a qualified service technician.
