Wash the cooking plate and drip tray thoroughly in hot, soapy water with a dishcloth or
sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Slide the drip tray
into the holder below the drain hole. Always use the grill/griddle with the drip tray in place
to collect grease that drains from foods while cooking.

1.
Select appropriate side of cooking plate, line up the arrow on the heating base and
the plate, and place on heating base. Be sure that the tabs of the cooking plate fit
completely into the slots in/on the heating base.
2.
Always use the grill/griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Be sure that the
dial is set to “OFF”. Be sure that the drip tray is pushed in completely below the drain
hole in the cooking plate. Drain holes in cooking plate must always be positioned
above the drip tray. Do not block airflow under grill/griddle. Plug the cord into a 120
volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
3.
When the appliance has been plugged into an outlet, the red “POWER” and green
“READY” lights will be illuminated. Select cooking temperature; the green “READY”
light will turn off. When cooking temperature has been reached, the green “READY”
light will illuminate; add food. Most foods will require a preheat period. Note: The red
“POWER” light will stay on as long as the appliance is plugged in. Heat may be
increased or decreased, depending upon personal preference and the type or
amount of food being prepared. The green “READY” light will go on and off
periodically to indicate that proper temperature is being maintained.
4.
Foods may be prepared with or without fats. When frying, the use of a small amount
of butter, fat, or oil will improve the flavor, color, and crispness of foods. When frying
fatty foods such as bacon or sausage, excess grease will drain into the drip tray
below the drain hole on surface of grill/griddle. Do not remove the drip tray during
cooking. Always allow the grill/griddle to cool completely before removing the drip
tray.
5.
Nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use on the
non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care. Do
not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives, or food choppers as
scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the finish;
it will not harm its non-stick properties.
6.
When the cooking period is completed, set the temperature control dial to 200°F for
later serving, or set dial at “OFF” if food will be served immediately. After the dial is
