NOTE: The nonstick coating will degrade when
exposed to temperatures over 500°F. Use
only with the griddle control and only at the
designated location on the cooktop. Do not use
the griddle to broil food in the oven. Do not clean
the griddle using the self-clean mode in the oven.
The griddle control prevents overheating the
nonstick coating. At temperatures over 660°F,
the nonstick properties permanently degrade
and may produce fumes harmful to birds.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time with
use.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-
cleaning oven.
NOTE: Always allow the cookware to cool
before immersing in water.
