ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Caution! Hot Surfaces: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other injury to persons or damage to property.

Caution: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Use & Care Manual before operating or cleaning the appliance.
2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug cord from outlet. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
5. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.

Caution: The temperature control probe is designed to yield precise results. Use care not to drop, hit, or impact it against hard surfaces. Never pull on the cord of the temperature control probe. Always grip the body of the temperature control probe when handling.

GROUNDED PLUG

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The 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 unintentionally.
3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

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

GETTING STARTED

• Remove all packing material and any stickers.
• Remove and save literature.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.
• Wipe cooking surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Select location where unit is to be used, leaving enough space between back of unit and wall to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls.

USING YOUR GRIDDLE

1. Before using this appliance for the first time, clean griddle as outlined in CARE AND CLEANING.
2. Slide drip tray beneath the front of the unit with handle facing out.
3. To preheat: Turn the temperature control knob to Off. Insert the temperature control probe fully into the probe receptacle. Plug the cord into a 120V AC outlet. The variable temperature control allows you to cook at a specific heat setting, 200^ - 400^ (95^ - 200^) . Align selected temperature with the preheat indicator light. As the griddle is heating, the preheat indicator light turns on and it will remain ON until the set temperature has been reached.

Note: Preheat indicator light will cycle on and off, as needed, to maintain the set temperature.

1. Allow griddle to preheat except where noted on the Cooking Chart. The preheat time will vary, depending on the heat setting you have selected. The higher the heat setting, the longer the preheat time.
2. Carefully place items to be cooked on the griddle.
3. Allow food to cook, turning halfway through cooking time, if needed.

Important: Do not leave appliance unattended during use!

1. When finished cooking, turn the temperature control knob to Off. Disconnect plug from wall outlet.
2. Remove food using the plastic spatula. Be sure to always use either silicone, plastic or wooden utensils so as not to scratch the nonstick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage the coating on the griddle plate.
3. Let appliance cool completely. When cool, the drip tray may be removed and emptied.

Important: Be sure liquid has cooled before removing drip tray.

COOKING CHART

The following times are meant to be used as guidelines only. Times will vary due to the cut or thickness of the meat being cooked. To be sure that the food is truly done, use a cooking thermometer.

COOKING HINTS AND TIPS

Use tender cuts of meat.
- Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before cooking.
- To avoid drying out meat and fish, do not pierce with a utensil.
- Better cooking results will be achieved with boneless cuts of meat, chicken and fish.
- Cut edge of meat in several places to prevent curling.
- When cooking fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts under to prevent overcooking.
- If cooking more than one item, select foods of even thickness. This will promote consistent doneness and appearance.
- When cooking small portions, make sure meat is centered on griddle. When cooking larger portions, distribute evenly and allow 1 inch of space between foods to promote uniform cooking.
- Some foods such as eggs and pancakes cook better if the nonstick surface is conditioned with vegetable shortening before preheating. If necessary, remove excess oil with a paper towel.
- Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at too high a temperature can cause them to dry out.
- If food is undercooked when removed from griddle, simply return to griddle for additional cooking time.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

Warning: To avoid electric shock, unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Do not immerse temperature control probe, cord or plug in water or other liquid. Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow griddle to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, turn the temperature control knob to Off and unplug from the wall outlet. Remove temperature control probe, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
2. Place drip tray under front of griddle with the handle facing out. Using the spatula, scrape off any excess fat and food particles.
3. Empty the drip tray.
4. Wash griddle, drip tray and spatula in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

Caution: temperature control probe and probe receptacle must always be completely dry before use. The drip tray and plastic spatula may be washed in the dishwasher, top-rack only. Do not wash griddle in the dishwasher.
5. Stubborn Build-up: If necessary, use a nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the griddle. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any part of the appliance.

STORAGE

Unplug unit, allow to cool and clean before storing. Store in a clean, dry place. Never store griddle while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance, as this could cause the cord to fray and break.
