GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the Waring™ Countertop Griddle is supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet. Use of any other voltage or altering of the plug or cord may damage the unit, will void the warranty and may cause injury.

NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada and Europe.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

An extension cord may be used with this product provided that care is exercised in its use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating on the appliance, and 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.

EVERY GRIDDLE NEEDS TO BE SEASONED BEFORE FIRST USE

The seasoning process will last about 1 to 1 12 hours.

Seasoning is an important step to prepare the surface for a natural nonstick finish.

1. Pre-clean surface with steel wool and detergent.
2. Plug unit into outlet in a well-ventilated area.
3. Switch on the appliance and set to HIGH. Allow to heat until green READY light is lit.
4. Pour about a tablespoon of corn or peanut oil suitable for frying in the center of the cooking surface. Using a cotton cloth or paper towel (synthetic materials will adhere to the surface), spread the oil evenly and let heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the surface loses its initial sheen and appears dry.
5. Repeat step 4 eight times, burnishing the surface with the towel and decreasing the amount of oil used each time until a smooth, non-tacky surface has developed.

ADJUSTABLE FEET INSTALLATION

Ensure that all feet are attached correctly before operation of this griddle.

Your griddle includes four adjustable feet, which are packaged unattached. Each foot has a screw protruding from the top for assembly. Locate the four screw holes at each corner of the bottom housing of the griddle. Insert the screw and turn foot clockwise until snug.

Repeat for all four feet. The height of the feet can be adjusted by rotating the bottom of the foot. Ensure that all four feet are adjusted to the same height to make a level cooking surface.
