Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
cord or 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.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
IMPORTANT
During the rst few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor.
This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been
used a few more times.
BEFORE USING
1. Carefully unpack the griddle and all parts. Remove all packaging materials,
including any stickers or labels.
2. Wash the griddle in dishwasher or in warm soapy water. The removable drip tray
may also be washed in the dishwasher, but should be placed on the TOP RACK
ONLY. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly. DO NOT IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL UNIT OR ALLOW IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY LIQUID.
DO NOT PLACE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT IN THE DISHWASHER.
3. Season the non-stick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with a cooking oil.
Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
4. Position the griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. Different countertop
nishes and surfaces are effected differently by heat. Use care not to place griddle
on any surface where heat may cause a problem. Do not operate the griddle on a
nished wood countertop or table.
5. It is recommended to operate this appliance on a separate outlet and circuit from
other appliances to avoid overloading the circuit.
