SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Carefully unpack the griddle and all parts. Remove all packaging materials,
including any stickers or labels and discard or properly recycle.
• Wash the griddle (without temperature control probe) in a dishwasher or in
warm soapy water. The removable drip tray may also be washed in the dish-
washer (Top Rack Only). Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
• DO NOT IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE OR ALLOW IT TO
COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY LIQUID. DO NOT PLACE THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL PROBE IN THE DISHWASHER.
• Season the ceramic non-stick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with a cook-
ing oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
• Position the griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Different countertop
nishes and surfaces are effected differently by heat. Use care not to place
griddle on any surface where heat may cause a problem. Do not operate the
griddle on a nished wood countertop or table.
• It is recommended to operate this appliance on a separate outlet and circuit
from other appliances to avoid overloading the circuit.

HOW TO USE
Connecting the Removable Temperature Control Probe:
1. Ensure that the temperature control probe is unplugged
from a wall outlet and on the OFF setting before attaching
to the griddle.
2. Align the temperature control probe with the terminal
post of the griddle.
3. Gently slide the temperature control probe forward until it
locks in place and meets the pan.
4. Before using, ensure the temperature control probe is
locked into place and makes secure contact with the
griddle. If the temperature control probe is loose, it is not
assembled correctly, and the griddle will not properly
heat.

6. Plug into the wall outlet and then set dial to desired heat
level.

indicated in recipe being prepared. Cooking temperature
should be adjusted based on a combination of the food
being prepared and personal taste preference.
5. When nished cooking, rotate dial to OFF position, unplug
from wall outlet and allow griddle to cool completely
before moving, cleaning, storing, taking off or putting on
parts.
