CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, screws must be inserted straight into griddle mounting projections for proper assembly. To prevent stripping of threads, do not over tighten screws.
4.To assure proper installation of griddle handles, place assembled unit right side up on a flat surface and lift item with handles. Handles should feel tightly secured.
5.If the griddle rocks when placed on a flat surface, remove screw on the leg which is not resting on the surface. Install one of the enclosed washers between the griddle mounting projection and the handle. Replace the screw following instructions 3 and 4 above. If the griddle is not level after the addition of the washer, add the second leveling washer in the same manner as the first.
BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME:
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, always remove temperature control before immersing this product in water. Do not immerse the temperature control, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
1.Wash griddle thoroughly in hot soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Be sure temperature control socket is completely dried.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, inspect cordset for damage or wear before each use. Do not use your product if it, its cord or plug have been damaged or if it is not working properly.
CAUTION: Your griddle has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this griddle without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cordset or an extension cord when using the griddle, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more that the wattage of the griddle (wattage is stamped on underside of griddle).
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. See cooking chart.
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 collect in the grease well. If a large quantity of food is being prepared, you may find it necessary to remove grease from the well as it accumulates. Either remove excess grease from well during cooking using a baster, or after food is removed, lift griddle by handles and carefully pour grease from either end of grease well
into a
