2.Condition the non-stick finish by lightly wiping two teaspoons of cooking oil with paper toweling or a soft cloth over the entire cool surface. Let cooking oil remain on the finish. Do not use butter or shortening to condition the non-stick surface.

3.Check to ensure handles/legs are secured tightly to the griddle base. To tighten, place cool griddle upside down on tabletop. Tighten handle/leg screws by turning in a clockwise direction using the appropriate screwdriver. Do not over tighten as stripping of the screws can occur. Periodic tightening may be required.

A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

USING YOUR GRIDDLE

1.Always use on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Do not operate griddle when hands are wet. Check to ensure handles/legs are secured tightly to the griddle base. Attach temperature control to griddle with dial set to the OFF position. Be sure grease cup is securely in place below drain hole on griddle surface. Do not block airflow under griddle. Plug cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet ONLY.

2.Refer to the Temperature Guide in this booklet for selecting correct heat settings. (If food is taken directly from freezer, use heat setting as indicated on guide, but allow longer cooking time.) Most foods require a preheat period.

3.The signal light on the temperature control will go out when the cooking temperature has been reached; add food. Heat may be increased or decreased, depending upon personal preference and the type or amount of food being prepared. The signal light will go on and off periodically to indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.

4.Foods may be prepared with or without fats. When frying, the use of a small amount of butter, fat or oil will improve the flavor, color and crispness of foods. When frying fatty foods such as bacon or sausage, excess grease will drain into the grease cup through the drain hole located on the surface of the griddle. Do not remove the grease cup during cooking. Always allow griddle to cool completely before removing grease cup.

5.Nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use on the non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care. Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives or food choppers as scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the finish; it will not harm its non-stick property.

6.When cooking period is completed, set the temperature control dial at WARM for later serving, or set dial at OFF if food will be removed immediately from griddle. After the dial is set at OFF, disconnect cord from wall outlet. Let griddle cool before removing temperature control and grease cup.
