   NOTE: If you adjust the temperature during cooking, the Preheat Light will turn on. When the new temperature is reached, the Preheat Light will turn off and the Ready Light will turn on again.
9. Do not remove the griddle plate until it has had time to fully cool down.
   NOTE: It may be necessary to scrape grease into the Grease Tray. Always use wooden or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the Non-Stick Cooking Surface.
