3. Place either the Grill side up or the Griddle side up on the Base by lining up
the Temperature Control Receptacle with the Temperature Control Support.
4. Plug the Temperature Control into the Temperature Control Receptacle.
NOTE: The Temperature Control cannot be plugged in unless the Grill &
Griddle Plate is placed properly into the base.
5. Plug the Power Cord into a 120V outlet. Turn the dial so that the light is
pointed to the desired temperature. The red indicator light will illuminate
indicating that the unit is preheating. When the light goes out the unit
is ready to use. NOTE: During cooking the light will go on and off
indicating that the selected temperature is being maintained.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. For best browning results and grill marks when cooking hamburgers,
steaks, hot dogs, sausages, chicken and other meats, adjust the
Temperature Control to the maximum setting (400°F/205°C).
2. Use a medium or low setting (250°F/120°C to 350°F/175°C) to reheat
previously cooked foods, keep food warm or to grill more delicate food,
like fish.
3. If desired when grilling, brush barbecue sauce on food during the last
5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
4. Par-boil ribs before grilling.
5. Preheat to the desired temperature, especially when cooking foods that
may run such as eggs and pancakes.
6. When using oil on the Griddle, DO NOT add more than 2 tablespoons.
Oil should be added before preheating the Griddle.
7. To use the Griddle as a warming tray set the control to 200°F/95°C.
8. Excess liquid can be drained through the holes in the Grill & Griddle Plate
into the Drip Tray.
9. If you do not wish to use oil when cooking, you should season the Grill &
Griddle Plate by brushing the surface with a light coating of vegetable oil.
Let the oil remain on the surface for a few minutes then wipe with a dry
paper towel. Preheat to the desired temperature and the Grill & Griddle
is ready to use
10. DO NOT use metal utensils on the Grill or Griddle Plate as they may scratch
the non-stick surface. Use plastic or rubber utensils. DO NOT cut food on
the Grill or Griddle Plate.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Turn the temperature Control to “Off”, unplug the unit from the wall outlet
and allow to cool completely.
2. Remove the Temperature Control from the Temperature Control Receptacle. If
necessary, wipe the Temperature Control and the Power Cord with a damp
cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OR THE POWER
CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

3. Use the grooved side of the scraper to clean the ribbed grill surface. Use
the flat side of the scraper to clean the flat griddle surface. Push excess
grease towards drip holes.
4. Remove the Drip Tray and dispose of waste.
5. The Drip Tray, the Grill & Griddle plate can be washed in warm soapy
water or in the dishwasher. DO NOT USE THE DISHWASHER DRY CYCLE
AND DO NOT ALLOW THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE TO SOAK OVERNIGHT.
NOTE: For stubborn spots, use a soft plastic mesh pad or other products
that are "safe for cleaning non-stick surfaces", rinse with clear water and
dry thoroughly. Never use any metal objects, scouring pads or harsh
abrasive cleansers on the cooking surface.
6. After each thorough cleaning, the Grill and Griddle Plates should be seasoned.
Brush the cool surface with a light coating of vegetable oil. Allow the oil
to remain on the surface for a few minutes, then wipe with a paper towel.
The Grill & Griddle is now ready to use.
NOTE: With repeated use, the non-stick coating on the grill and griddle may
change colour. This is normal and will not affect the non-stick properties.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension
cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension 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.
