hints
* When tm'ning the meat over, always use
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to Hnl out. This will help
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat
atter it has been cooked.
,b Be sure to trim any excess titt fl'om meat
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops ti'om
curling while they are being cooked, slit the
fht arotmd the edges at about 2" intervals.
To test tier doneness, make a small cut its the
center of the meat.
* The aloneness of meat is attected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece of meat to a rare aloneness.
A steak should be at least 1" thick to have
it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
is atti_cted by the temperature of the meat
when you start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat w)u are
cooking. The degree of aloneness desired
also aL_i_cts the time.
The lJ. S. Department of Agriculture says,
"P,are beef is populas; but you shotdd know
that cooking it to only 140°F means some
fi)od poisoning organisms may survive."

Ilemove the cover befi)i'e turi_ii_g the griddle on.
The griddle is made fl'om Type 304 stainless
steel and highly polished to provide a smooth
cooking stsrt_tce. It is i_ormal tier it to darken
with rise as oils cook onto the stsrl_tce to
provide a stick-resistant base or "seasoning."
The griddle is them_ostatically controlled
and cycles on and off to mailmfin the set
temperature. A light will glow to indicate
the griddle is on.
The griddle assembly should not be removed
for cleaning.
Once the unit is in position, the rear center
shipping screw can be removed. It is located
beneath the griddle flue cover. I),emove the flue
cover by lilting it straight 51p. Be careful not to
scratch the backguard during remowd of the
lltse coves'.
The two outer screws are leveling screws.
Do not remove these two screws. They can be
turned to level the griddle or to provide a
ti_rward slope to help grease and oils to drain
awav ti'om the tood being cooked. After using
the griddle a few times you will be able to judge
the slope best for the toods vou are cooking
and vour personal preference.
When replacing the griddle title coves; ei_sure
that the cover slips to the outside of the fl'ont and
back metal flanges of the fixed griddle assembly.
This will esasure a tight fit of the title cover.
