Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your electric griddle safely and effectively.

This image shows a close-up of the detachable temperature control probe and its dial. The dial features temperature settings ranging from 200°F to 400°F, allowing for precise heat adjustment during cooking.

1. Connect Power: With the temperature control probe securely attached and set to "OFF", plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired cooking temperature. The griddle offers versatile cooking temperatures from 200°F to 400°F. Refer to the cooking guide below for common food temperatures.
3. Preheat: Allow the griddle to preheat for approximately 5-10 minutes, or until the indicator light on the temperature control turns off, signaling that the desired temperature has been reached.
4. Cooking: Lightly grease the nonstick surface if desired (though often not necessary due to the nonstick coating). Place food directly onto the preheated griddle.
5. Monitor Drip Tray: Periodically check the drip tray during cooking, especially when preparing fatty foods. Empty as needed once the griddle has cooled.
6. Finish Cooking: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control dial to "OFF" and unplug the griddle from the outlet.
