A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension 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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle
features, Fig. A. Wash griddle according to the “Care and Cleaning”
instructions below.
NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot
plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes
different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause
damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from
walls, cabinets, and other objects with the drip tray towards the back of the counter.
NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under
the griddle; take care not to place the foil under the griddle’s legs
2. Insert the Control Master

heat control into the griddle so the two electrical pins on the griddle are fully inserted into the heat control.
Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Master

heat control to desired temperature (see page 3). Preheat griddle. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature
is reached (about 5 to 10 minutes).
NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle is preheating; this is due to the expansion of the metal
as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the griddle features a nonstick surface, food should be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place food on griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference
and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained.
For best results use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick
surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow griddle to
cool before removing drip tray.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash griddle in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master

heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: To maintain the appearance of your griddle, do not wash in the dishwasher. The decorative trim and the bottom of the griddle
will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent. In addition, a gray residue may form on the trim and griddle
bottom and may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
After each use, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge or Scotch-
Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. This discoloration can be removed by
using a solution of one tablespoon of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent per one cup of hot water. Slide the drip tray into place.
Preheat griddle to 225°. Wearing rubber gloves, dip cleaning pad into cleaning solution and rub over the cooking surface being careful
not to get it on the decorative trim. Continue cleaning until the solution is gone. Turn the griddle off and allow to cool. Wash the griddle
in warm, soapy water and dry. After treating the griddle with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped
lightly with vegetable oil before using.
Periodically check the screws on the griddle frame for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted screwdriver.
CAUTION! Overtightening can result in stripping of the screws or cracking of the plastic frame.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master

heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
