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:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse heat control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
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.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto® accessory and replacement parts.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
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.
Always attach the heat control to the appliance first, then plug the cord into a wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF, and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

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. An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its 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 also 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.

How to Use

Before using it 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.

Place the 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. However, to keep the griddle from moving on the counter, do not place any portion of the foil under the griddle’s feet
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 cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Turn the heat control to the desired temperature and preheat the griddle. The indicator light turns off when the selected temperature is reached, in about 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: It is normal to hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the metal.
Prepare the food for cooking. Because the griddle features a ceramic 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.
Place the food on the griddle and cook according to the temperature-timetable on page 3. Adjust the heat according to personal preference and the particular food being cooked.
- During cooking, the indicator light will turn on and off to indicate the desired temperature is being maintained.
- Use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
Turn the heat control OFF when cooking is complete. Unplug the heat control from the wall outlet and then from the griddle.
Allow the griddle to cool before removing the drip tray and before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the griddle (including the bottom) in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly
Clean the nonstick surface with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as Scotch- Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Firm pressure can be applied. 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: Do not wash the griddle in the dishwasher. Repeated washings in a dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In addition, 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. If soaking is desired, do not soak for more than two hours as this may damage the ceramic coating.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. To minimize or remove this discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow the paste to sit for several minutes and then scour with a nylon mesh scouring pad or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frames and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.

NOTICE : Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of the frame.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master® heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
