Surface Cooking (cont'd)
Care & Seasoning of the Griddle
Before first use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before remov-
ing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before
storing.

Using the Griddle:

• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over
the Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the
griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Before Setting Oven Controls

This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may continue
to run after the range has been turned "OFF", but may also stop immediately and then turn "ON" after a while.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located in the center rear on the
cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air passes through
the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT
BLOCK OVEN VENT. Never close off the openings with
aluminum foil or any other material.
