Once you have finished cooking, turn the
Selector control to the Off position and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Allow the unit to cool down for at least 30
minutes before handling.
Use the cleaning/scraping tool to remove
any leftover food from the cooking plate.
The scraping tool can be washed by hand
or in the dishwasher.
Dispose of grease from drip cups. The drip
cups can be cleaned by hand or in the dish-
washer.
Press the Plate Release buttons to remove
plates from the housing. Be sure that the
plates have cooled completely before han-
dling (at least 30 minutes). The cooking
plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do
not use metallic objects such as knives or
forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring
pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can
be damaged.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the
cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent
seafood flavor transferring to the next reci-
pe.
The housing base, cover and control knobs
can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.
For tough stains, dampen cloth. Never use
an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
STORaGE
Always make sure the Griddler ™ Jr. is cool

The power cord can be wrapped around the
back of the base for storing.
