How to Use Your Electric Griddle

1. Insert the warming tray into guides under the front of the griddle. Insert the drip tray into guides under the rear of the griddle.
2. Turn the temperature probe dial to the off position and attach securely to the griddle.
3. Preheat the griddle by aligning the selected temperature setting on the temperature control probe knob with the indicator light. The griddle is preheated when the light on the knob goes off. The light will cycle during use, indicating the selected temperature is maintained.

Note: When cooking consecutive batches of bacon or other high-fat foods, it may be necessary to empty the drip tray to avoid grease overflowing onto the countertop.

• Caution: Grease may be hot!
• Caution: Some countertops are sensitive to heat; use care not to place the griddle on surfaces where heat may cause damage.
• Caution: Griddle surfaces are hot during use. Allow to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

Warming Tray

Your warming tray can be conveniently used to keep cooked food warm while the griddle is turned on. To use, simply slide out the warming tray and place food in the tray. When done, slide in the warming tray.

Note: Do not overfill the warming tray. Food should not touch the bottom of the griddle plate.

These appliances are for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service these products. Do not immerse the base in water or other liquids.

Electric Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the griddle may not operate properly. The griddle must be operated on a separate circuit from other operating appliances.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

Extension Cord Use

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
