BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST
TIME OR TO RE-SEASON
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to
remove any protective coating.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 cup white
vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into 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. Turn the control knob to a Medium setting (350°F). Turn
the heat Off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the
griddle to cool.
5. Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with
the oil.
6. Repeat Step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire
surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth. Apply a very
thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to
use. If the griddle is not used for a period of time, re-
season it occasionally.
NOTE: It is normal for the griddle to darken with
use.
USE AND CARE
GRILL & GRIDDLE USE
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray
and liners are in place. Preheat griddle for 15 minutes with
the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the
cooking chart. When the griddle is preheated, the HEATING
light will turn off . Place the food on the griddle and cook to
desired doneness.
NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned it
can be used without any additional shortening.
However, it can be used for fl avor. A light mist of
nonstick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to
a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier to turn.
