1. Griddle
2. Drip Tray
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.
