The parts of the Pizza Griddle are:

• Hinge

• Cover

• Handle

• Base

• Red Indicator Light

• Green Indicator Light

• Cooking Surfaces

Clean the Pizza Griddle and all of its components prior to assembly and use. Do not touch the Cover, Base, or Cooking Surfaces without heat protective cooking gloves while the Griddle is in use.

NOTE: Do not use sharp or metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surfaces as this may damage the nonstick Cooking Surfaces.

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface so that the Base is resting on the table and open the Pizza Griddle.

2. Using a paper towel or silicone basting brush, grease the Cooking Surfaces you wish to use. Wipe off any excess oil.

3. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Red Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Pizza Griddle is heating up.

4. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Green Indicator Light will turn on. Now, you’re ready to get cooking!

5. To use the Pizza Griddle to bake dishes like pizza or cookies, fold it in half by closing the Cover, taking care to use the Handle without holding your arm or hand over any hot surfaces or rising steam. You may lift the Cover of the Griddle using the Handle at any time to check progress or finish cooking.

6. When you’ve finished cooking, unplug your Pizza Griddle and allow it to cool completely before moving or cleaning.

Red Indicator Light: When the cord is plugged into an outlet, the Red Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Pizza Griddle is heating up.

Green Indicator Light: Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Green Indicator Light will turn on. As you cook, the Green Indicator Light will cycle on and off to regulate the cooking temperature – this is normal. As the heating element goes on and off, you may also hear a clicking sound. This is also normal.

Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Griddle. To prevent damage to the nonstick Cooking Surfaces, make sure to dry thoroughly after washing.

• Always unplug your appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning, moving, or storing. Do not submerge appliance in water or any other liquids.

• In order to keep your Griddle in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the appliance after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.

• Unplug the Pizza Griddle and allow it to cool completely prior to cleaning.

• Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surfaces. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.

• Wipe the Base, Cover, and Handle with a soft, damp cloth.

• Thoroughly dry the appliance before storing.

If there is residual oil or burnt food on the Cooking Surfaces, try the following cleaning method: Once the appliance has cooled, pour just enough water and vinegar (in a 5:1 ratio) onto the Cooking Surfaces so that they are completely covered in the vinegar solution. Allow to soak for 5-10 minutes. Wipe out the vinegar solution and then gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Repeat the process with clean water to remove any residual vinegar solution. You can use a stronger concentration of vinegar if necessary.

For convenient storage, the Pizza Griddle can be stored in an upright position. Simply lower the Cover onto the Base and stand the Griddle upright so that the handle is facing upwards. Store in a cool, dry location.

• 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.

• WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD: The Silicone Feet under the Griddle may become dislodged and fall off over time. Be careful when moving the Griddle as these small silicone pieces can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Do not allow children to play with the Griddle.

• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Griddle is NOT dishwasher safe.

• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.

• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Unplug the appliance and allow to cool prior to moving, cleaning, storage, and when not in use. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• Ensure that there is enough space surrounding the appliance while in use, as the appliance becomes very hot.

• Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your Griddle.

• Do not submerge appliance in water or any other liquids. Do not operate the appliance with wet or moist hands. Should the appliance become wet or moist, turn the appliance off and unplug immediately.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in 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.

• 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. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. 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.
