2. Turn the heat setting to the desired temperature. The signal light will come on to indicate the unit is heating.
3. When the signal light goes out, the unit is ready.
4. Signal light will cycle on and off during cooking as the unit operates to maintain the desired temperature.

Caution: Because some countertop finishes are more affected by heat than others, use care not to place griddle on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.

Caution: Griddle surface is hot during use

If you need further assistance, I’d be happy to help! Please contact us at [email protected] and reference ID number 42204577 so that we may better assist you.

3. Is your Black and Decker GD2011B toxin free?

• We at Spectrum Home Appliances understand that there have been various reports and articles in recent months and years that raise concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA) in consumer products and the impact of such reports and articles on the purchase of certain products by consumers.
• In such reports and articles, the clear focus is on the potential hazards posed by the migration of BPA from food and beverage containers into food and beverages consumed by humans and by direct ingestion or mouthing of plastic items by infants and children. Specifically and by example, the draft NTP Brief on Bisphenol A (BPA) released by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health report states, "the vast majority of bisphenol A exposure is through the diet ~ 99%"
• For products that specifically claim to be BPA-Free, the plastics and resin that comes into direct contact with food and beverage are made of Polypropylene material, silicone or other plastic materials, all of which are BPA free. Other parts of the product which do not come into contact with food or beverage may contain BPA in some of the plastics and resins that are used. For products that do not claim to be BPA-Free, we have insufficient information to support a BPA-Free claim at this time.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors. ❍ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRIC CORD

1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
   1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable powersupply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
   2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
   3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in the US, by an authorized service center.
