Before using your Oster
®
Grill/ Griddle for the first time, please follow the instructions below:
1. Remove any stickers from the product.
2. DO NOT IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE IN WATER.
3. Clean and condition the non-stick surface:
• Makesuretheprobeisnotinsertedintotheunit;otherwiseremoveitfromthe
unit. The cooking plate will only be released from the base once the probe
is removed. Your appliance includes a safety system that prevents that the
cooking plate be removed while the probe is inserted. Wash the cooking plate,
drip pan, lid and base with a soft sponge with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
them well.
• Placethedrippan,cookingplateandlidbackinthebase.Setthetemperature
control to the off position “O” and insert the probe into the unit. If temperature
control probe is not completely inserted, abnormal heating may occur, resulting
in accident or damage.
• Toconditionthecookingsurface,plugtheapplianceintotheappropriate
electrical outlet. Turn the temperature control knob clockwise choosing one of
the low temperature settings. The orange indicator light will illuminate. Allow the
unit to pre-heat until the orange ready light goes off indicating that the selected
cooking temperature has been reached.
• Wipeasmallamountofbutterormargarineontothecookingsurface,spread
slightly and wipe away any excess.
NOTE: When using the unit for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze
coming out from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal
components.
