FITTING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle can be installed over any of the burners on the
grill EXCEPT the left hand side (which is designed to only
have the IR Hybrid installed there).
To Fit
1 Ensure all the burner knobs are in the "OFF" position, and that
the grates and griddle are cold.
2 If the griddle is not pre-installed, you will need to fit it as
follows:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow installation instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
● ●
damage or defects arising from improper installation.
Never leave the griddle unattended when in use.
● ●
Do not use two griddles side by side.
● ●
Do not place the griddle on the grates. Always remove the grates first.
● ●
Do not install a griddle over the Infrared Hybrid Burner.
● ●
Keep the area surrounding the griddle free from combustible materials,
● ●
trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline, charcoal or lighter
fluid.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the griddle is cool before using
● ●
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the griddle. The chemical that
produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
Clean the griddle with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge
● ●
or cloth to clean the griddle while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
3 Unwrap the griddle from its packaging. Lower the griddle
into position, fitting either the upper or lower rear hooks over
the right hand side grate support. Use the upper hooks for a
flatter griddle or the lower hooks to increase the angle of the
griddle.
4 Lower the front of the griddle onto the edge of the grease
channel.
REMOVING THE GRIDDLE
To remove griddle
IMPORTANT!
Only remove the griddle when it has completely cooled.
1 Lift front edge of griddle and lift the rear hooks clear of the
grate support.
USING THE GRIDDLE
Note:
When cooking foods with a high fat content, position the griddle on the lower hooks. This increases the angle of the griddle and will
help the drain the grease away.
Season the griddle
Before using the griddle we recommend that you season it.
1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2 Rinse with a mixture of 4 cups of water and ¼ cup of white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3 Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the center of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil over the entire surface
of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4 Place the griddle on the grill rack. Lite the burner and turn the control knob to a medium setting. Turn the heat off when the oil begins
to smoke. Allow griddle to cool.
5 Repeat step three (be sure to cover the entire surface with oil) and step four.
6 Once the griddle has cooled again, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use.
If the griddle will not be used for a period of time, reseason it to avoid rusting.
To cook using the Griddle
1 Light the burner:
Push in and turn the selected burner knob to "SEAR". Release the knob when the burner lights. If the burner does not light in 4 to 5
seconds, turn the knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
2 Leave the knob on "SEAR" lower the lid for 5-10 minutes to allow the Griddle to pre-heat.
3 Place the food on the griddle. Adjust the dial between SEAR and LOW to cook the food to the desired doneness.
4 When you have cooked the food turn the dial to "OFF".
5 Allow the grill to cool, and clean the griddle and grease tray after every use.
CARE AND CLEANING
Griddle
Turn the burner to "SEAR" for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill "OFF", use a bristle barbeque
brush to remove any remaining food particles or ash.
Alternatively you may clean by taking about 1 foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled griddle to release
food particles.
Drip Pan and Grease tray
See your User guide for details on how to clean these parts.
2 Grip both sides and carefully lift out.
