OPERATING YOUR GRIDDLE

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR NO-FAT GRIDDLE
The griddle non-stick surface is designed to cook using only the natural oils and fats contained
within the food—no extra fat has to be added. In addition, during cooking much of the fat
contained within the food is removed and will be collected in the drip tray, making the food
healthier than if fried or grilled using additional oils or fats.
Best results are obtained when cooking foods containing some natural fats; for example,
all types of meat and sh, burgers and other meat products. Other types of food can also be
cooked including vegetables and sandwiches.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before rst use or after long periods of non-use wipe the griddle heating plate with a damp
cloth to ensure that it is clean.
• Ensure that the drip tray is inserted into place before turning the temperature control to
a heat setting.
CAUTION : Never use the griddle without the drip tray inserted.
Ensure that the tray is cleaned out before each session of griddle use.
Do not use griddle if the tray is full of drippings.
• For best results always pre-heat the griddle before use. To pre-heat, plug in the empty
griddle, turn the control dial to the desired temperature setting, and allow the griddle
to heat up for three to four minutes.
• After the pre-heat period, place food on the griddle. Check regularly to see how the food
is cooking.
• When the food is fully cooked remove it carefully from the griddle with a spatula or
plastic/wood utensil designed for use on non-stick surfaces.
• Immediately after use unplug the griddle and allow it to cool su ciently before cleaning
and storage. Always be sure to remove and clean the drip tray.
