USING YOUR GRIDDLE
BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME:
1. Wash the griddle and the grease cup in warm, soapy water with a dishcloth or
sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Be sure
the socket is completely dry before inserting the temperature control. Slide the
grease cup securely in place below the drain hole on the griddle surface. It is
recommended that the grease cup be used with any cooking application to help
contain possible overflows or spills.
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 the cooking oil
remain on the finish. Do not use butter or shortening to condition the non-stick
surface.
3. Check to ensure the handles/legs are secured tightly to the griddle base. To
tighten, place cool griddle upside down on the tabletop. Tighten the handle/leg
screws by turning in a clockwise direction using a #2 Phillips 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 the griddle
when hands are wet. Check to ensure the handles/legs are secured tightly to
the griddle base. Attach the temperature control to the griddle with the dial set
to the “OFF” position. Be sure the grease cup is securely in place below the
drain hole on the griddle surface. Do not block airflow under the griddle. Plug
cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
2. Refer to the Temperature Guide in this booklet for selecting the correct heat
settings. If food is taken directly from the freezer, use the heat setting as
indicated in the guide, but allow a 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 on 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.
