OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Once the Grill & Griddle is assembled properly and you are ready

to begin cooking, turn the temperature control knob to the desired tem-

perature level. The indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on. It may take 10-12 minutes to reach operating tempera- ture, depending on the temperature level that has been set. When the thermostat has reached the desired temperature, the indicator light will turn off, indicating that the Grill & Griddle is ready for cooking.

During operation, the light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal.

The temperature control is used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking surface. Temperatures range from about 150° on the Warm setting to 450° on the Sear Setting. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so, depending on the types of foods on the cooking plate. Refer to the Cooked Food Temperature Chart on page 5 for recommendations.

CAUTION: Handles will become hot during use. The cooking plate should not be removed from the base or flipped over while hot. Allow unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling.

The Grill & Griddle has a built-in safety feature that prevents the unit from operating when the cooking plate is not on the base. If the cook- ing plate is removed from the base while in use, the power will shut off.

NOTE: The first time you use your Grill & Griddle, it may have a slight odor and smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.

To flip over to use reverse side of plate:

1.Turn temperature control knob to OFF setting.

2. Unplug appliance from wall outlet.

3.Pull out temperature control probe from cooking plate.
