SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GROUNDED PLUG: As a safety feature, this appliance is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short 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 EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL-listed cord possible.
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
• If the product is of the grounding-type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE:

• Thoroughly wipe the plate and drip tray with a hot, soapy cloth/sponge, ensuring that water or soap does not enter the socket.
• Rinse with hot water and thoroughly dry.
•  Ensure the socket and electrical pins are completely dry before using.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

WARNING: Ensure the griddle is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool before handling or cleaning it.
CLEANING:

1. Ensure that the appliance is completely cooled before cleaning. Remove the drip tray and the temperature control dial from the socket before cleaning the product.

2. Empty the drip tray and drain excess oil on the surface.

3. Thoroughly wipe the drip tray and base of the product with a hot, soapy cloth/sponge, ensuring that water or soap does not enter the socket.
   CAUTION : After use, do not pour cold water onto the product, as the sudden temperature change may damage the product or create a burn hazard.
   NOTE: Do not place the griddle or cord in a dishwasher.
   NOTE: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners/scouring pads to clean the product, as they may damage the non-stick finish.

4. Rinse with hot water and thoroughly dry.

5. Ensure the socket and electrical pins are completely dry before storing or resuming use.

TO USE

(Read the instructions before use)

WARNING: Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the handles of the product.
Use protective oven mitts or gloves to avoid burns or serious personal injury.
NOTE: Never use metal utensils such as forks, knives, mashers, beaters, or food choppers with this product, as they will scratch the non-stick surface. Only use plastic, rubber, wooden, or silicone cooking utensils.
A. Attach the temperature control dial to the socket by aligning the electrical pins in the socket with the electrical pinholes in the temperature control dial, and then slide the dial
into position on the base. When ready to use, lightly coat the entire cooking surface with cooking oil or shortening and wipe with a paper towel. Repeat as necessary for a longer-lasting non-stick surface.
B. Ensure the drip tray is in place before using.
C. Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet.
D. Place the product on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
E. Set the temperature control dial to the desired cooking temperature. The LED indicator will illuminate, indicating the product is heating.
F. When the LED indicator turns off, the product has reached the selected temperature.
Place food on the griddle.
NOTICE: Do not cook foods at a higher temperature than necessary, as cooking at high temperatures may cause discoloration or shorten the life of the non-stick surface.
NOTE: Due to the initial heating of the materials used in the manufacturing of the product, some light smoke/vapors may be released when used initially. This is normal.
G. Once cooking is complete, set the temperature control dial to the “OFF” position and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
H. To detach the temperature control dial, firmly pull away from the base.
WARNING : Always unplug the product when not in use or when it will be left unattended

MAINTENANCE

• Before each use, ensure the handles are securely attached and retighten as necessary.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place.
• For better non-stick performance, it is recommended to add a teaspoon of cooking oil prior to each use.
• Never heat an empty utensil. Be sure there is oil, butter, liquid, or food before using the griddle.
• Never cut anything in the cookware or use utensils with sharp edges to avoid piercing the non-stick surface.
• Never use metal scouring pads to clean the non-stick surface.
• Never put cold water into a hot utensil. Sudden changes in temperature may cause the metal to warp, resulting in an uneven bottom. Let cookware cool down on its own or place it in lukewarm soapy water.
• The exterior may become dull and discolored due to the action of certain detergents. Our warranty does not cover this type of wear, as the performance of the pan is not affected
