• Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas burner, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edges of tables or counters. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or a lack of experience or knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.

• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even personal injury.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
  To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its 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. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

PARTS & FEATURES

Before first use

• Clean the Deluxe Everyday Griddle and its components before assembly and use.
• DO NOT use the Griddle near water or other liquids, with wet hands, or while standing on a wet surface.
• Make sure the Drip Tray is inserted into the Base before each use.

1. Set the Griddle on a clean, stable, and dry surface. Place the removable Cooking Plate on top of the Base.
2. Slide the Drip Tray into the Base, matching up the sides of the tray to the grooves on the underside of the Base (near the Drip Outlet) (Photo A).
3. Unwind the power cord to the preferred length. Inspect the cord for any signs of damage or significant wear. Make sure the Temperature Control Dial located on the Control Probe is set to Off (Photo B).                 
4. Plug the Control Probe into the Control Probe Socket located on the Base of the Griddle. Be sure to properly align the connector’s single prong with the middle hole before pushing the Control Probe in (Photo C). Then, plug the Griddle into an outlet.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial clockwise to Low. It is recommended that you do not begin cooking on a high temperature as this may cause food to splatter or even burn when placed on the non-stick Cooking Plate (Photo D).
6. Put your ingredients onto the Cooking Plate. Allow to cook for several minutes. Increase the heat until you reach the temperature appropriate for your recipe.
7. When you are finished cooking, turn the Temperature Control Dial to Off. Wait for
   The Griddle needs to cool before removing the Cooking Plate or cleaning.

Cooking precautions

A non-stick cooking spray helps food lift easily from the non-stick Cooking Plate.

Metal utensils may damage the non-stick Cooking Plate; instead, use silicone, nylon, or wood utensils.

The Base of the Griddle and the removable Cooking Plate will both be hot while in use. Use oven mittens to handle the Griddle.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position before unplugging and cleaning. The Cooking Plate should be completely cool before removing or attempting to clean it.
• The Cooking Plate and Drip Tray can be removed and washed in the dishwasher
  or using warm, soapy water.
• Make sure the Cooking Plate and Drip Tray are dry before reassembling the griddle because remaining water could damage the electric parts.

Caution: Never use abrasive and/or metal cleaning agents to clean your appliance, as this may damage the griddle’s non-stick surface.
