GOURMIA GEG1425 (01) PDF Document

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or the base of the GOURMIA GEG1425 in water.

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before connecting the device.

Always ensure the plug is inserted properly into a wall outlet.

Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after it malfunctions, or if it has been damaged in any manner.

Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, and do not let it touch hot surfaces.

Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system.

Do not place the GOURMIA GEG1425 on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

Use only the temperature control probe supplied with this griddle. Using any other probe may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides of the appliance when in use; do not place it against a wall or other appliances.

Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.

Always attach the temperature control probe to the appliance first before plugging it into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the probe to OFF and then remove the plug from the outlet.

Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs provided.

The GOURMIA GEG1425 operates at 120V, 60Hz, and uses 1,700W of power.

The appliance is equipped with a polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other. This reduces the risk of electric shock by ensuring the plug only fits into the outlet one way. If it does not fit securely, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

1. Remove all stickers, protective foil, or plastic from the device after taking it out of the box.

2. Wash the non-stick griddle in mild dishwashing soap, wipe it with a damp cloth, and allow it to dry completely.

3. Place the GOURMIA GEG1425 on a stable, flat surface and plug it into a wall socket.

4. It is recommended to place a hot pad or trivet under the griddle to avoid potential damage to the countertop.

5. Insert the drip tray into the rails under the griddle, ensuring it is positioned directly under the grease drain.

6. Turn the temperature control knob on the probe to the OFF position and attach it securely to the appliance.

7. Coat the non-stick surface with vegetable shortening before heating for the first time. If necessary, remove any excess oil with a paper towel.

Note: The GOURMIA GEG1425 is not dishwasher safe.

1. Preheat the griddle for approximately 10 minutes before cooking. Turn the temperature control to your desired setting.

2. The indicator light will turn off once the selected temperature has been reached.

3. Add food to the plate and cook according to your recipe.

4. You may adjust the temperature control dial between 200 degrees Fahrenheit and 400 degrees Fahrenheit as needed during cooking.

5. When cooking is complete, turn the temperature control to OFF. The indicator light will turn off.

When cooking foods that contain large quantities of grease, monitor the drip tray to ensure it does not overflow. If needed, remove the drip tray, empty its contents, and wash it before replacing it under the griddle.

1. Once cooking is finished, turn the unit off and unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Allow the griddle to cool completely before handling.

2. Remove the temperature control probe. Caution: The probe may be hot after use.

3. Wipe the temperature control and probe with a damp, soft cloth. Ensure the probe is completely dry before using it again.

4. Remove the drip tray and empty the contents.

5. Wash the griddle and drip tray in soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

6. Avoid hard scouring or using steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these may scratch the non-stick finish.

Note: Do not immerse the cord, plug, or temperature control probe in water.

To avoid scratching the surface, do not stack objects on the cooking plates.

Use medium to low heat for best results. Extremely high temperatures can cause discoloration and shorten the life of the non-stick coating.

Only use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Never cut food directly on the griddle.

Do not use cooking sprays, as they can cause a build-up on the plates that affects non-stick performance.

1. Identify the stained areas and sprinkle baking soda over them.

2. Moisten the baking soda with a little water to create a paste.

3. Let the paste sit for a few minutes, but no longer than one hour.

4. Rub the area with a soft damp cloth or lightly scrub with a plastic scouring pad.

5. Wipe the surface clean and dry it thoroughly. You may repeat the cycle if necessary. Stains do not affect the non-stick properties of the ceramic coating.

Caution: Never use a metal scouring pad or rub vigorously, as this can damage the coating.
