Spilled grease may result in fire. ■ Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat the griddle and may result in fire. ■ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.
Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models) Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.
