Use and Care

RAISED GRIDDLE/ BROILER – 12” AND 24” (HERITAGE CLASSIC MODELS ONLY)

Before You Begin

You must season your steel cooktop griddle plate before using. The seasoning process prevents food from sticking and the griddle

plate from rusting. After seasoning, with time and use, your griddle plate will darken and develop a rich dark blue/black color which is

normal.

Seasoning your Griddle

The entire seasoning process takes approximately 75 minutes and requires attention.

 Remove and discard all temporary factory labels and packaging.

 Wipe off any factory oils and residue with a soft cloth.

 Using a dry cotton towel, apply a light coating of high smoke point oil like corn oil to the griddle’s cooking surface.

 Use a different dry cotton towel and wipe away the excess oil.

 Push in and turn the griddle burner control knob counterclockwise to LOW.

 Allow griddle to preheat for 30 minutes.

Note: As the griddle heats, it will likely change color to varying shades of blue and black. This is normal and part of the seasoning

process.

Griddle is very hot! Use care with next step to prevent burns. Do not remove griddle from cooktop.

 After preheating for 30 minutes, use a dry cotton towel and remove the excess oil from the griddle’s surface.

 Using a clean, dry cotton towel, apply another coat of corn oil to the griddle’s surface.

 Increase the heat setting on the griddle to MEDIUM. Wait 15 minutes.

 Increase the heat setting on the griddle to HIGH. Wait 15 minutes.

 Turn the griddle burner knob to OFF. The griddle is still hot.

 With extreme care, use a clean, dry cotton towel to remove excess oil.

 Your griddle is now ready for use.

 The seasoning procedure may be repeated as needed over the life of your griddle.

TIP: If you see rust spots on the griddle surface, repeat the seasoning process.

Raised Griddle/Broiler Operation

Your Raised Griddle/Broiler has a broiler and a top griddle. The broiler is perfect for finishing foods like meringues, gratins and

crème brûlée.

The broiler and griddle heat at the same time. Do not use the griddle as a shelf while operating the broiler.

If the igniter clicks more than 10 times, turn the control knob to OFF. Wait five minutes and try again.

Broiler:

 The heater has three rack positions. Position the broiler rack to the desired height, based on the thickness of the food and the

recipe’s guidelines.

 Push in and turn the Raised Griddle/Broiler control knob counterclockwise to HIGH. The spark igniter will click and the burner

will light.

 24” Model – There are two control knobs that heat the left and right side of the broiler that can be operated independently or at the

same time.

 Turn and adjust the control knob to the desired heat setting.

 The broiler is ready for use.
