electricity, and are therefore very cost effective.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Cadco Griddle!
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning or storing the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged
in any manner. Return the appliance to the Cadco Factory Service Department (must call 860-738-2500 first) for
examination, repair or adjustment. (In Canada, contact Joicey Food Services, Ltd. in Ontario, Tel. (905) 825-9665.)
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. A fire may occur if this appliance is covered or touching flammable material including curtains, walls, etc., when in operation.
12. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved during preheat or when hot.
13. Do not clean stainless surfaces with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit. Pieces can
also break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a shock hazard.
14. Use your panini grill for preparing food. It is not designed for any other purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 or tripped over accidentally.
Before You Use Your Griddle
1. Remove the protective film - Carefully remove all the protective film from the external walls of your new Griddle. Be
sure not to leave any residue on the stainless steel surface. If there should be any residue, it may be removed with any
stainless steel cleaner.
2. Positioning - Be sure the Griddle will fit in the available space, and allow for all necessary clearances.
Model Depth Width Height Power

l
If the Griddle must be placed near walls, dividers, or moldings, we recommend they be made of non-combustible
materials. Be sure to observe all safety and fire codes when positioning your Panini Grill.
l
When installing your Griddle, leave a space of 4”(minimum) between the back of the unit and the wall, and 2” minimum on sides.
l
Ventilation hood requirements vary according to local codes. Be sure to check your local codes before placing your Griddle.
l
These Griddles are not designed for built-in applications.
3. Electrical Connection - This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged commercial plug. For safety, this plug MUST
be connected to a 3 pronged outlet. Before connecting power, make sure the outlet’s voltage and frequency correspond to
the data plate on the unit (FTCG-200= 208/240 volts/60hz/2500 watts/11.4 amps. Before turning your Griddle on, be sure
to check your entire circuit to verify that the total amps being drawn by all the appliances, lights, etc. on that circuit do
not exceed the amps available on that circuit.
4. “Burn In” before first use - Before using the Griddle for the first time it should be “Burned In”. First, be sure the unit is
unplugged. Then wash the ceramic cooking surface with soapy water and dry it thoroughly. To “Burn In” your Griddle, simply
plug the unit into the correct outlet type, set the temperature to 450ºF and let it run for 30 minutes with nothing on the griddle
surface. Now you are ready to start cooking. (Note: “Burning In” only needs to be done once.)
Notes For Use
1. Warning! The Griddle is capable of reaching very high temperatures, and heats up very quickly. Follow all safety procedures
to avoid injury.
2. Never touch the griddle cooking surface while the power is on or the griddle surface is hot.
3. Never use pots and pans on the glass-ceramic griddle surface. The griddle surface was designed to cook food, not to heat pots.
4. Never place aluminum foil or plastic on the griddle surface.
5. The ceramic glass griddle surface is not porous like metal griddles and will not absorb or transfer flavors.
