a clean rough towel or scrub with a nylon scrubbing pad. Wipe with a damp paper towel.
6. Clean the griddle drip pan and trough after each use with hot soapy water and a sponge.
7. It is normal for the griddle to darken with age and use.
TO START COOKING
1. Push the knob in and turn the knob counter clockwise to the MAX setting.
2. Preheat griddle for two to three minutes and turn knob to a medium to low cooking setting.
3. The blue indicator light comes on and stays on until the desired setting is reached and turns off and on with the heating cycle.
4. For best results, add a small amount of fat to cook food properly, such as butter, oil or cooking spray. Fatty meats like bacon
and sausage do not need extra fat.
