How To Use

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features (Fig. A and Fig. B). Wash griddle in warm, sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Masterheat control or let the heat control come in contact with any liquid. “Season” the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing with a small amount of cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.

1.The griddle legs will be in the storage position under the base when you remove the griddle from the carton. Before using the griddle, the legs must be unfolded to the position shown in Fig. B. To unfold the legs, lift the griddle by grasping both sides of the base (Fig. A1). Then using your fingers, reach under the griddle and pull the legs away from the griddle until they lock into place (Fig. A2 and Fig. A3). Place the griddle on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.

2.Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the Control Masterheat control into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to outlet.

3.Turn Control Masterheat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for cooking temperatures). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).

4.Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.

5.Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.

6.Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow unit to cool before removing grease tray and before cleaning.

Note: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray. It is also not intended to be operated with the legs folded.

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Masterheat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

For best results use nylon, plastic, wood, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.

After each use, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge* or Scotch- Brite* Dobie** Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.

In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed for cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it†destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores. Slide drip tray into place. Preheat griddle to 225°. Combine 1 cup of hot water and 1 tablespoon of commercial cleaner. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over cooking surface. Continue cleaning until solution is gone. Turn griddle off and allow to cool. Wash griddle in hot, soapy water and dry.

After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped with a small amount of cooking oil before using.

Some discoloration may occur inside the griddle drip tray. This is normal. The amount of discoloration will vary depending on the foods cooked and the temperature setting used. This discoloration is only visible from the inside of the drip tray and will not affect the performance of the griddle.

The cool touch base on the griddle is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe away spills and drips as they occur. Any food residue remaining can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

For compact storage, remove grease tray and fold legs inward, in the reverse order as shown in Fig. A. Note: The Control Masterheat control must be removed before folding the legs in.

IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Masterheat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
