Griddle Accessory

The griddle accessory is a non-stick rectangular pan with extra
low sides, and is made of heavy-weight hand-cast aluminum. The
griddle is ideal for cooking pancakes, eggs, bacon, grilled cheese
sandwiches and hamburgers.
Do not use knives or metal utensils on the griddle surface.
Use only plastic or nylon cooking utensils.
Do not preheat on HI. Excessive heat will cause discoloration,
shorten the life of the surface, and may warp griddle and
cause damage to the cooktop.
Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the
griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.
The griddle must be level to operate properly.
Use oven mitts when removing the griddle from the surface
burners.
Do not wash griddle in the dishwasher.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
