Griddle (on some models) (Cont.)
Using Your Nonstick Aluminum Griddle (on some models)
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for
meats, pancakes, and other foods usually prepared in
a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly.
Griddle Precautions:
■ Do not use oil on the griddle for extended lengths of
time. Permanent staining and/or craze lines on the
surface could result.
■ Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle
burner on at Hi for an extended amount of time
without food can damage the nonstick coating.
■ Use only plastic, nylon, wooden utensils, or SilverStone
kitchen tools to prevent marring of the coating.
■ Never use knives or cut food on the griddle.
■ Do not use metal utensils with sharp points or rough,
sharp edges which might damage the griddle surface.
■ Store carefully to prevent scratching.
■ Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be
cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent "baked on"
food soil.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle
as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with
hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.
■ Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
■ Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.
Doing so will damage the nonstick coating. For
instructions on how to clean the griddle, see the
Cleaning the Cooktop section of this manual.
