BeFore usiNg your appliaNce

Before using your Oster

®

 Instant Gourmet Multi-Use Griddle for the first time, clean and 

season the cooking surfaces:
•  With the appliance unplugged, clean the cooking surfaces with a cloth or sponge  

  dampened with warm, soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with a  

  dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
•  To season the cooking surfaces, plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. The red    

  Power On “  ” Indicator Light will illuminate. Allow the unit to pre-heat until the green    

  Ready Indicator “  ” Light turns on. Wipe a small amount of butter or margarine onto  

  the cooking surfaces, rub lightly and wipe away any excess.

Note: When using your unit for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being 

emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.

operatiNg iNstructioNs

1.  Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; the red power on “  ” indicator light 

will illuminate and remain lit while the appliance is plugged in.

2.  Close lid and pre-heat the unit until the green ready “  ” indicator light turns on.
3.  Open the lid and place the food to be cooked on the bottom-cooking surface. DO 

NOT OVERFILL.

4.  Lower the top-cooking surface until it closes. DO NOT FORCE THE LID TO 

CLOSE.

NOTE:

•  Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking surfaces when in use.

• The green “Ready” Indicator Light may turn on and off during cooking. This indicates 

that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to prepare the food 

to perfection.

•  When the food is cooked to taste, remove with a plastic spatula.

•  The cooking surfaces are coated with a non-stick coating (model CKSTGR4219) or a 

natural Bioceramic™ non-stick coating (model CKSTGR5219). Some foods such as 

cheese may melt stick to the cooking surfaces. To free the food, use a plastic spatula 

or wooden spoon. Never use a sharp or metal object, as this will damage the non-stick 

surface.

AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED USING YOUR UNIT, UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE 

FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
