Features

1. External shell and grease collector tray are made of stainless steel.
2. The grills are designed for ease of use and maintenance.
3. Grill temperatures can be set for different uses simultaneously (for double-unit models).
4. Convenient independent temperature controls are easy to set and can lead to overall power savings (for double-unit models).
5. Features an over-heat temperature controller for safety.

Instructions for First Time Use

There is a thin layer of wax paper on top of the grill plate that must be removed prior to using the griddle. To protect the plates during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface prior to shipment. This oil is harmless but must be removed before use. To remove the oil, preheat the grill until the oil liquefies. Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth. Once all the oil is removed, you can begin to use your grill.

Specifications

Main Parts and Controls

The main components of the electric griddle are identified as follows:

• 1. Cooking Hotplate
• 2. Feet
• 3. Drip Tray
• 4. Yellow Heat Indicator Light
• 5. Green Power Indicator Light
• 6. On&Off Power Switch
• 7. Thermostat
• 8. Reset Button (Over-temperature Device)
• 9. Cable Locker

Thermostat (50-300°C): Used to set or adjust the temperature of the cooking plate. The numbers on the dial correspond with the grill plate temperature. The '0' position turns the unit off.

Reset Button (Over-temperature Device): The power will be cut off automatically once the temperature exceeds 350°C.

Power Indicator: This light indicates that the unit is powered on.

Heat Indicator: This light indicates that the heating element is active. Once the set temperature has been reached, the light will cycle on and off with the heating element to maintain the set temperature. This is not a continuous power indicator light.

Drip Tray: A removable container that collects grease, oil, and liquid from the bottom grill plate for draining and cleaning.

On&Off Power Switch: Turns the unit on. When the power is on, the green Power Indicator Light will illuminate.

How to Use

1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet.
2. Turn on the power switch; the green Power Indicator Light will illuminate.
3. Set the desired temperature by turning the rotary temperature knob clockwise.
4. The heating element will begin to heat up, and the yellow Heating Indicator Light will illuminate.
5. When the temperature reaches the desired setting, the yellow Heating Indicator Light will cycle on and off with the heating element to maintain the set temperature.
6. For best results, allow the unit to preheat for 15 minutes before placing food on the cooking surface.
7. Turn the temperature knob to the 'Off' position to turn off the yellow Heating Indicator Light and the heating element.
8. Turn off the power switch; the green Power Indicator Light will turn off.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply before cleaning and allow it to cool.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Use only a damp towel with a non-corrosive cleaner. Do not immerse or flush the unit with water.
4. Wipe down the outside surface to remove any soil.
5. Store the griddle in a dry, clean area when not in use.
6. Wipe grease or oil into the drip tray.

Safety Warnings

Electrical Shock Hazard
