Broil King GRD550 - Manual (Page 2)

HOW TO USE
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features,
Figure B. Wash griddle in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Do
not submerge heat control or let the heat control come in contact with any liquid.
To "season" the nonstick properties of the surface coating, rub the cooking surface
of the griddle lightly with cooking oil. Repeat periodically to maintain the nonstick
properties.
1. Prepare food for cooking.
2. Turn heat control to desired temperature. Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes
off when selected temperature is reached. During cooking, pilot light will go
on and off, indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
3. Because the griddle features a nonstick finish, food may be prepared with
or without shortening, according to taste.
4. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature time table (page 4).
Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and particular food
being cooked.
5. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control
from wall outlet, then from appliance. Allow unit to cool before removing
grease tray to empty.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in
dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE HEAT
CONTROL IN WATER OR LET IT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY LIQUID.
Periodically, "season" the cooking surface by rubbing with cooking oil to
maintain the nonstick properties.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Metal utensils
may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on the cooking
surfaces.
If there is any food residue remaining on the surface, it should be removed
after each use. To do so, scrub gently with a fine cleansing pad such as nylon
mesh or other ordinary cleansing pad. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR
ABRASIVE KITCHEN CLEANERS.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the healing element. This is
normal and will not seriously alter the release properties of the surface.
This is a UL Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are
recommended by most portable appliance manuffacturers.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
CAUTION: For safety's sake, when using non-stick cookware or electric appliance
with nonstick coatings, keep your pet birds out of the room. Birds have respiratory
systems that are sensitive to many kinds of fumes, including fumes from overheated
nonstick cookware.
NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised
in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
