GRIDDLE USE
The buHtdn griddHe on your cooktop is made
from Type 304 stMnHess steeH, highHy poHished to
provide a smooth cooking surface. Htis normaH for
it to darken with use as oils cook onto the surface
to provide a stick resistant base or "seasoning':
Since the griddHe is made from stMnHess steeH,the
surface wHH not rust. The gdddHe burner is
thermostaticaHHy controHHed and cycHeson and off
to maintain the set temperature. The "Heating"
Hight indicates that the burner is"on': The griddHe
assembHy is not to be removed for cHeaning and is
heHd in pHace by two front screws and one rear
screw. These are mainHy there to keep the griddHe
from shifting in transit and positioning, thus
avoiding breakage of any ignition components.
Once the unit is in position, the rear shipping
screw can be removed. Ht is Hocated beneath the
griddHe flue cover which is removed by Miffing off

removaH of the cover). Remove the center
shipping screw. The two outer screws are
HeveHing screws. They can be turned to HeveH the
