INTERCHANGEABLE GRIDDLE/CHARBROILER SYSTEM (PLATINUM™ SERIES ONLY)
The Platinum™ Series Griddle/Charbroiler system allows for two-zone cooking, with up to 40,000 BTUs of heat. The cast iron,
interchangeable, griddle charbroiler system lets you use the griddle or charbroiler anywhere on the rangetop. Visit
bluestarcooking.com to see the system in action.
The Interchangeable Griddle Charbroiler System comes with 6 pieces.
1. Cast iron frame (skirt) that holds the griddle or charbroiler in place
2. Cast iron, two-sided griddle (flat or ribbed surface)
3. & 4. Pair of cast iron, two-sided (narrow or standard slats) charbroiler grates that are placed side-by-side
5. Stainless steel diffuser (grease diverter), to protect the burners when using the charbroiler
6. Stainless steel cover, for use when the system is kept permanently on the rangetop
All the pieces of the griddle charbroiler system will be hot during and after use. Use extreme caution while cooking.
Make sure the parts are cool before cleaning.
OPERATION
When the cooktop is cool, remove the ring grates and burner grates from any two, adjacent, front-to-back burners and set aside.
Burners must be removed from front to back, not left to right.
Place the cast iron frame over the two burners, making sure it is seated and level.
If using the griddle, select either the flat or ribbed side and insert the griddle plate into the frame.
If charbroiling, insert the stainless steel diffuser into the frame with the two sides seated in the frame indents. Select either the
narrow or standard slatted side and insert the two broiler grates into the cast iron frame.
Push in and turn each of the two burner control knobs to HIGH, to ignite the burners, and then turn to the desired heat setting.
TIP – For easier clean-up, add some water to the grease pan underneath the charbroiler before using.
Cleaning
Allow all parts to come to room temperature.
For the cast iron frame, griddle, and charbroiler racks, wash with hot, soapy water and a non-metallic grill brush. Rinse well and
dry thoroughly.
Do not submerge grates in water for extended periods as this may cause rusting.
For the stainless steel diffuser, wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The stainless steel diffuser is dishwasher
safe.
