Temperature Control Probe

1. The temperature control probe is the nerve center and brain of the electric Griddle. Treat it carefully.
Dropping or banging it could change its calibration and make the temperature settings inaccurate.
2. Rotate the dial to select the temperature as called for in the recipe.
3. The indicator light on the temperature control probe will illuminate as soon as the dial is rotated.
The light will go out once the selected temperature has been reached.
4. Allow the Griddle to cool before removing the temperature control probe.
5. To clean the temperature control probe, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth.
Make sure you dry it thoroughly before using again.
NOTE: The temperature control probe is not submersible.
CAUTION: Use the temperature control probe supplied with this Griddle only.
The use of any other temperature control probe may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the Griddle and remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the non-stick Griddle on a clean, flat working surface.
NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian
withstand the prolonged heat generated by this Griddle. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet
under the Griddle beforehand to avoid possible damage to the surface. Be sure the sides and back
of the Griddle are at least 4 inches away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.
3. Before first use, see Hints For Care and Use of Non-Stick Surface and Care & Cleaning Instructions
sections of this Instruction Manual.
4. Before cooking in the Griddle for the first time, wash the non-stick Griddle in mild dishwashing
soap, wipe and allow to dry.
NOTE: THE GRIDDLE IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.
5. Insert drip tray into rails under the Griddle's side, positioned directly under the grease drain.
6. Turn the temperature control knob on probe to OFF position and attach securely in place.
7. Coat the non-stick surface with vegetable shortening before heating. If necessary, remove excess
oil with paper towel.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PLUG CORD INTO GRIDDLE FIRST, THEN INTO WALL OUTLET.
4. Preheat Griddle for approximately 10 minutes before cooking. To preheat, turn the temperature
control to desired temperature. The indicator light on the temperature control probe will illuminate
as soon as the dial is rotated. The light will go out once the selected temperature has been reached.
5. Add food and cook according to the recipe. Adjust temperature control dial from 200ºF to 400ºF
as necessary.
NOTE: During cooking, the light will go on and off indicating that the Griddle is maintaining
proper temperature.
CAUTION: Griddle surfaces are hot during use.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING
PLATES AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.
6. When cooking bacon or foods containing large quantities of grease, it may be necessary to check
the drip tray to make sure it is not full. Remove drip tray; empty contents and wash if needed.
See the Time/Temperature Chart for basic suggested cooking information.
7. When cooking has been completed, turn the temperature control to the OFF position.
The indicator light on the temperature control probe will turn off.
8. Unplug cord from wall outlet. Let the Griddle cool completely.
