Usage Features:
- First Use Preparation: Before first use, the griddle should be unpacked, and all packing materials removed. The outer surface and non-stick plate should be wiped with a damp, lint-free cloth or sponge to remove any accumulated dust. It is recommended to coat the cooking surface with a layer of vegetable oil during initial preheating to protect the non-stick surface. Some odor may be emitted during initial preheating, which is normal and will dissipate after one or two uses.
- Assembly: The temperature control plug, warming tray, and drip tray must be correctly assembled before use. The drip tray inserts into grooves, and the warming tray also inserts into grooves. The temperature control plug inserts into the probe hole on the right side of the griddle.
- Preheating: After plugging the appliance into a power outlet and adjusting the temperature, the orange thermostat light will illuminate, indicating that the heating element is on. The griddle takes approximately 10 minutes to preheat to the desired temperature. The light will turn off when the heating element is turned off by the thermostat.
- Cooking: Once preheated, food can be placed onto the cooking plate. The drip tray must be correctly positioned to collect grease. Oven mitts or pot holders are recommended to reduce the risk of injury from touching hot surfaces. Grilling time is approximately 20 minutes but may vary based on personal taste and food type.
- Utensils: Only plastic or wooden spatulas should be used to remove grilled food to avoid damaging the non-stick coating. Metal utensils should never be used.
- Resetting Auto-Shut Off: If the appliance automatically shuts off after 3 hours, it can be reset by disconnecting it from the power outlet and plugging it back in.
Maintenance Features:
- Cooling Down: Before cleaning, the appliance must be unplugged and allowed to cool down completely.
- Cleaning Warming Tray and Drip Tray: The warming tray can be cleaned in a dishwasher. The drip tray should be immersed in warm, soapy water, then cleaned, rinsed, and dried. It is recommended not to wash the drip trays in a dishwasher as it may deform or deteriorate.
- Cleaning Cooking Plate: The non-stick cooking plate should be wiped with absorbent paper, toweling, or a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners should never be used on the non-stick surface.
- Safety Precaution: The appliance should never be immersed in water for cleaning to prevent electric shock.
- Storage: After cleaning, the appliance should be stored in a safe, clean place.
- Service: In case of a damaged cord or plug, malfunction, or damage, the appliance should be returned to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment. The use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
