Your non-stick coated griddle 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.
How to Insert the Griddle
CAUTION:
Place and remove the griddle
only when all grates and griddle are cool and all
surface units are turned OFF.
The griddle can only be used with the center burner
and must be locked into place on the center grate.
Place the "U" locks on the underside of the griddle
over the center fingers of the center grate.
Move the griddle back-and-forth to make sure it is
locked in place.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be
careful of grease spill-over while cooking.
• Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths
of time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on
