Using
the griddle
_4
Before using the griddle for the first time, it
must be seasoned,
tf the griddle has not been used for a period
of time, it should be reseasoned.
1. Cleon the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any protective coating.
2. Wipe the surface using a solution of 1
quart water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry
thoroughly.
3. Use a paper towel and wipe 1 tablespoon
vegetable oil evenly across the griddle: Do not
use corn oil as it can get sticky.
4. Turn the control knob to 400°F for
approximately 30 minutes. Turn the heat off
when the oil starts to shimmer.
5. Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire
surface with the oil.
6. Allow the griddle to coo!. Wipe the entire
surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth to
remove the oil. The griddle is now ready to
use.
The griddle surface is o combination of highly
polished Type 304 stainless steel and an
aluminum core plate for even heat distribution.
It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook
onto the surface to provide a stick-resistant
base or "seasoning."
The griddle is thermostatically controlled and
can be set to maintain any temperature from
200°F to 450°F.
NOTE:Unlike the surface burners, which use
electric igniters, the griddle uses a Glo-Bar for
ignition. It takes approximately/45 seconds for
the Glo-Bar to reach temperature. Gas is only
supplied to the griddle once the Glo-Bar reaches
temperature.
To heat the griddle,push in the control knob and
turn to the desiredtemperature setting. The light
on the bezelwill glow to indicate the thermostat
control is working.
