GRIDDLE
The griddle is a built-in unit made of polished steel and comes
with a drip tray. It is shipped with a protective coating covered
with paper to prevent rust from occurring and must be removed
before using. See the General Cleaning section for more
information.
Do not use cookware on the griddle.
Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the
griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.
The griddle must be level to operate properly.
The griddle should be preheated before cooking most foods.
Refer to recipe or package instructions.
Remove and clean the grease tray and the area below after
each use.
After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film
of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion. Do
not use corn oil.
It is normal for a seasoned griddle to darken with use.
Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knobs to OFF and allow
griddle to cool.
First Time Use:
1.
Remove the paper from the griddle.
2.
Completely remove the protective coating from the surface
with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and
dry.
3.
Pour 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of vegetable oil onto the center of the
griddle and spread evenly over the entire surface with a paper
towel.
The griddle is ready for use. If desired, additional grease or
shortening may be used when cooking.
To Use:
1.
Push in and turn knob to LITE/HI. The flame will ignite in 30-
40 seconds. Allow griddle to preheat for 10 minutes. Place
food on griddle.
2.
If preheating is not required, start cooking food at desired
temperature setting.
