Using your mini maker griddle

Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean your Mini Maker Griddle.

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Mini Maker Griddle is heating up.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Now, you’re ready to get cooking!

3. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of cooking spray

4. Place food onto the Cooking Surface and close the Cover.

5. Once food is cooked to your preference, carefully remove it from the Cooking Surface with a heat-resistant nylon or silicone cooking utensil. Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING

While our products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the problems listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions recommended below, or not included on this page, please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-800-898-6970 or [email protected].

1. The light on the Mini Maker Griddle keeps shutting off.
   • This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off.
2. How do I know when the Mini Maker Griddle is heated and ready to use?
   • When the Griddle reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!
3. There is no On/Off Button. How do I turn the Mini Maker Griddle off and on?
   • To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When you’re done cooking, turn off the Mini Maker Griddle by unplugging it.
4. When using my Mini Maker Griddle, the Cover gets very hot. Is this normal?
   • Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Mini Maker Griddle, always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. To prevent personal injury, do NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot, and may cause injury. Lift from the side.
5. I am cooking meat on the Mini Maker Griddle and there is juice on the Cooking Surface. What do I do?
   • Carefully dab the Cooking Surface around the meat with a paper towel or napkin. If there is a lot of juice, remove the food from the surface with heatresistant plastic or silicone tongs and set aside. Then, wrap a paper towel around the tongs and use this to wipe the Cooking Surface and soak up the juices. When finished, return the food to the Mini Maker Griddle and continue cooking.
6. After using my Mini Maker Griddle a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What is happening?
   • There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, pour on a small amount of cooking oil, and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub the Cooking Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, pour on more cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
7. The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to heat.
   • Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
   • Check to make sure that the power outlet is operating correctly.
   • Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment, or building.
