Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

Insert the Control Master heat control into the griddle. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Turn the temperature dial to your desired setting. The griddle features settings from WARM up to 400°F. The indicator light will turn off when the desired temperature is reached, and cycle on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature.

Cooking

Allow the griddle to preheat for approximately 5-10 minutes before placing food on the cooking surface. The large surface is ideal for cooking multiple items simultaneously, such as pancakes, eggs, bacon, or French toast. For best nonstick performance, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface. Use heat-resistant plastic, nylon, or wooden utensils.

The griddle's large surface allows for cooking a full breakfast with ease.

Always unplug the Control Master heat control from the wall outlet and then from the griddle before cleaning. Allow the griddle to cool completely. Remove the slide-out drip tray. To remove the handles, open the latch clips and pull the handles away from the griddle base.
