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® and other
surfaces, are not designed to 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 (without the temperature control probe)
is dishwasher safe.
5. Insert drip tray into rails under the Griddle’s side, positioned directly
under the grease drain.
6. Reach under the Griddle to extend the grill tilt lever. (See Figure 1.) The
left side of the Griddle will be tilted towards the grease drain. This will
allow grease to drain from the food into the drip tray.
7. Turn the temperature control knob on probe to OFF position and attach
securely in place.
8. Coat the non-stick surface with vegetable shortening before heating. If
necessary, remove excess oil with paper towel.
