B. Griddle
The Even-Heat™ chrome electric griddle system provides an
evenly heated and easy to clean cooking surface.
Remove plastic film and clean with hot, soapy water prior to
first use.
To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots or pans
on the griddle.
To avoid scratching the griddle, use only plastic or wooden
utensils.
The griddle surface is ready to use, and does not need to be
seasoned.
Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle,
resulting in an uneven cooking surface.
Using the Griddle:
1. Position the drip tray under the front edge of the griddle to
catch grease and food residue.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to desired temperature.
3. Refer to the griddle Preheat Chart for preheat times.
The griddle light will turn off when the griddle has finished
preheating. The griddle light will turn on and off during use to
indicate that the griddle element is maintaining the selected
surface temperature.
4. Place food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.
