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 min-
utes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the cooking chart. When the griddle is preheat-
ed, the HEATING light will turn "oFF" and the ready light will be "oN". 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 oil. However, oil can be used for fla-
vor. A light mist of non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier
to turn.
