GRIDDLE

The griddle is a built-in unit made of polished steel and comes

with a drip tray. It is shipped with a protective coating covered

with paper to prevent rust from occurring and must be removed

before using. See the “General Cleaning” section for more

information.

■

Do not use cookware on the griddle.

■

Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the

griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.

■

The griddle must be level to operate properly.

■

The griddle should be preheated before cooking most foods.

Refer to recipe or package instructions.

■

Remove and clean the grease tray and the area below after

each use.

■

After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film

of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion. Do

not use corn oil.

■

It is normal for a seasoned griddle to darken with use.

Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knobs to OFF and allow

griddle to cool.

First Time Use:

Remove the paper from the griddle.

Completely remove the protective coating from the surface

with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and

dry.

Pour 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of vegetable oil onto the center of the

griddle and spread evenly over the entire surface with a paper

towel.

The griddle is ready for use. If desired, additional grease or

shortening may be used when cooking.

To Use:

Push in and turn knob to LITE/HI. The flame will ignite in 30-

40 seconds. Allow griddle to preheat for 10 minutes. Place

food on griddle.

If preheating is not required, start cooking food at desired

temperature setting.
