Your preseasoned griddle (on some models) 
provides an extra-large cooking surface for 
meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared 
in a frying pan or skillet
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time 
as it becomes seasoned with use.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning 
oven.
WARNING Fire Hazard
  Food should be cooked on the griddle using 
the griddle control knob in the griddle 
zone only. This operates the front and 
rear burners at the correct heat settings. 
Operating the front or rear burners 
separately may result in high griddle 
temperatures that could ignite food.
 Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled 
grease may result in fire.
 Never place or store any items on the 
griddle, even 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 all 
grates and griddle are cool and all surface 
units are turned OFF.
