ABOUT THE GRIDDLE

(Available on some models)
DESCRIPTION
The built in griddle is made of restaurant quality aluminum
coated with titanium. This produces a surface with even
heat that is easy to clean.
The griddle has an aluminized steel tube burner that is lit
by a spark igniter. The griddle should light within 4 clicks
of the igniter. This eliminates the need for a continuous
burning pilot lighter.
A maple chopping block is available as an accessory and
purchased separately. It is sized to fit on top of the surface
when the griddle is not being used.
•The burner is rated at 15,000 BTU / HR.
CONTROL KNOB
Control Knob
• The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150ºF to
500ºF.
• There are no fixed settings on the knob.
• Press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to the
temperature setting.
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle must be level or tilted slightly forward for
optimum performance. The griddle should have been
leveled during installation. If not, the griddle can be leveled
by removing the griddle plate and frame then adjusting
the leveling screws at the front and back of the griddle
opening.
GRIDDLE
The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy
water then rinsed with clear water prior to use. The
griddle may be used without any butter, margarine or oil.
However, a very small amount may be used to flavor foods.
Any utensil, including metal ones may be used on the
griddle surface. Care should be taken so the surface is
not gouged when metal utensils are used.
Griddle Grease Tray
GRIDDLE GREASE TRAY
• Push the tray under the front edge of the griddle
overhang to catch grease or food residue.
• Use a metal spatula to scrape the grease and food
particles forward from the surface into the tray.
• Clean the tray after every use. When removing the
tray, use care when tipping it so that the contents do
not spill.
Cooking on the Griddle
1. Check that the grease tray is tucked under the griddle
plate overhang.
2. Turn the knob to the cooking temperature to preheat
the griddle.
3. Preheat 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Add butter, margarine, oil or shortening for more flavor.
