Griddle
To Use
1. Before using the new griddle, wash in hot, soapy water; rinse and dry.
2. Place two clean grill-rocks
(with handles parallel to range front) into clean grill basin.
Insert grill element. Do not use surface grill grates.
3. Place griddle over grill element so that the drain holes are in front. This will permit excess
grease to be collected in the grease container.
4. Preheat the griddle as noted below. Settings above 10 during griddle operation are
unnecessary, can ruin the finish or cause seasonings or food to adhere to the griddle.
5. After griddle is preheated, season griddle with butter or oil. DO NOT PREHEAT A
SEASONED GRIDDLE. Normally, the griddle needs to be seasoned for all but high fat
foods. If the griddle is seasoned during preheat, oil changes its chemical composition
and forms a varnish-like finish on the griddle which is difficult to remove.
6. To maintain the finish, use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils while cooking.
Cleaning
1. THE GRIDDLE MUST BE CLEANED AFTER EACH USE IN ORDER TO PROPERLY
MAINTAIN THE FINISH. Any seasoning or food residue left on the griddle will adhere to
it during the next preheat. The residue will create a varnish-like or tacky surface that will
build up over a period of time. This built-up residue will tend to flake off which creates a
rough texture on the griddle surface, interfering with performance and appearance of the
griddle.
2. Once the griddle has cooled (DO NOT immerse a hot griddle in cold water), wash with
soap or detergent in hot water in the sink. Be sure to remove all food residue before
cooking on the griddle again. Any difficult to remove, cooked on residue can be removed
with a plastic scrubber.
3. In the event the griddle has not been cleaned sufficiently and has a light, tacky film of oil
or cooked on residue, remove with plastic scrubber and Bar Keepers Friend, Ajax, or
other nonabrasive cleansers_
4. For built-up residue, scrub lightly with a soapy S.O.S. pad. Scrub small areas cautiously
as too much pressure could remove the finish.
5. DO NOT wash in dishwasher as strong detergents remove some of the natural seasoning
of the non-stick finish.

NOTE: These are suggested guides for control settings and times. Factors, such as low voltage,
may affect the time and control setting which provides the best results.
NOTE: Use the above chart as a guideline for griddle times and settings with your updraft
grill-range. The times and settings in the Complete Cooking with Jenn-Aircookbook and
the Use and Care manual packaged with the griddle are based on using the griddle on a
Jenn-Air downdraft grill-range.
