Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either
a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking times are based on fresh, not frozen, ingredients.
Visit www.foodsafety.gov for additional information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.
Since pancake batter does not need a lot of mixing, over-mixing
is a frequent mistake. The dry ingredients and wet ingredients
should be stirred together until just mixed. A few lumps will
remain. If your batter looks too thick you may add more liquid.
Using the liquid that is called for in the recipe, add only one
tablespoon at a time until the batter reaches desired consistency.
A properly preheated griddle is also very important to
perfect pancakes. So dont skip the preheating.
Once you have poured batter onto the griddle, the pancakes
should only be turned once. When the top of the pancake is
covered with bubbles it is ready to be turned.
The second side will not take as long to cook as the first.
Pancake basics
