Griddle

(on some models)

A. Griddle
B. Drip tray
The griddle, made of brushed, cold-rolled steel, is similar to those
used in commercial kitchens. The griddle is packaged with a
protective grease coating covered with paper that must be
removed completely with hot, soapy water. Rinse, dry, and
season the griddle immediately after removing the protective
coating or the griddle will rust. See the "General Cleaning"
section for more information.
It is normal for the griddle to darken with use.
Do not place any pots or pans on the seasoned griddle to
keep food warm.
The griddle must be level to operate properly.
Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the
griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.
To Season or Reseason the Griddle:
Seasoning the griddle is important because it keeps food from
sticking during cooking and avoids rusting.
1. Pour 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil onto the center of the
griddle and spread evenly over the entire surface with a paper
towel. Do not use corn or olive oil.
2. Push in and turn knob to 350°F (177°C) setting. When the oil
begins to smoke, turn the control knob to the OFF position
and allow the griddle to cool. Wipe off excess oil with a paper
towel.
3. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the entire surface of the
griddle. The griddle is now ready to use.
4. After each use, reseason the griddle using steps 1 through 3.
5. The griddle can be used without additional vegetable oil after
it has been properly seasoned.
Using the Griddle:
1. Position the drip tray under the front edge of the griddle to
catch grease and food residue.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to desired temperature.
3. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the griddle to preheat to the
temperature selected.
4. Place food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.
