Congratulations
We are glad that you have chosen to add our new stainless
steel griddle to your collection of Broilmaster gourmet grill-
ing accessories. Your new griddle has a smooth surface for
foods such as eggs, pancakes or biscuits.
This griddle is made of high-grade 304 stainless steel.
Please read the following instructions for the installation,
operation, and care of your griddle. Familiarize yourself
with all important safety precautions before using your new
griddle.
Before You Begin Cooking
Wash your new griddle thoroughly to remove any packing
residue. Use hot water and dish soap, and let the griddle air
dry thoroughly. Do not clean stainless steel in a dishwasher,
as this will make foods tend to stick to it.
Coat your griddle with vegetable oil. Peanut oil works best
because it smokes only at higher temperatures. Spread
the oil thoroughly around the griddle, including the grease
container.
Heat the griddle – either on the grill or in an oven.
On the grill, heat the griddle at medium heat until the oil
starts smoking.
Or, heat the griddle in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit
for about an hour.
Remove the griddle from the heat, and let it cool completely
before wiping away any excess oil with a paper towel.
Your griddle will build up a patina from tan to brown, that
serves as a natural non-stick surface. (A shiny stainless steel
griddle may look nice, but makes a poor cooking surface.)
Once your griddle becomes well-seasoned, wash it in hot
water only. If you must use soap, use a mild brand and re-
season the griddle before cooking on it. Harsh dishwasher
soap will remove the seasoning from your griddle and may
even damage it.
Installation
The DPA115 griddle fits all #3 size Broilmaster models.
Caution:
To prevent your grill from over heating, never use
more than one griddle at once. Using more than one can
cause damage to your grill and personal injury.
Caution:
Do not install the griddle over an infrared burner
on R3B grills.
1. Two No. 10-32 x 3/4” leveling screws are provided. Install
screws as shown in Figure 1. Adjust as needed to ensure
proper flow of grease into grease trough.
2. Two 10-32 nuts are provided. Install nuts onto leveling
screws as shown. Tighten nuts against griddle to lock
leveling screws in place.
3.
Before installing griddle:
If your grill has two grids,
remove one. If your grill has three grids, remove two.
4. Replace cooking grid(s) with your Broilmaster Griddle.
Operation
Warning:
Grill lid must be open at all times when using the
stainless steel griddle.
Caution:
Aerosol cooking sprays are flammable and when
sprayed near a flame will flare up and cause severe burns to
your face and arms. Never use flammable cooking sprays
near the open flame of a grill. If you choose to use an aerosol
cooking spray on the griddle, use it before the grill is lit.
1. Follow the instructions for lighting your Broilmaster
®
gas
grill.
2. Allow an additional 5-10 minutes for the griddle to pre-
heat.
3. Apply vegetable oil as needed just as you would when
cooking in your kitchen.
4. When cooking fatty foods such as bacon or sausage,
ensure the built in grease container is empty before start-
ing. Excessive grease in the container could overflow
and cause flare ups.
After Cooking
Allow the griddle to cool.
Drain any grease from the grease container and wipe away
any oil and food residue from the griddle.
Wash the griddle in hot water only – no soap – and allow to
air dry.
Store your griddle in the box or wrapped in butcher paper
between uses.
Care
NOte:
NEVER use a metal object to scrub or scrape your
griddle. This will damage the stainless steel finish and void
the warranty.
