USING THE COOKTOP:
Griddle
Using Your Cast Iron Griddle
The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for
food normally grilled.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface
for
meats, pancakes and other foods usually prepared
in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or
vegetable oil.
Griddle Precautions:
■ Do not place the griddle in a microwave oven.
■ Do not clean your griddle in the dishwasher.
■ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be
cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on”
food soil.
■ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle
as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with
hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.
Positioning Your Griddle
The cast-iron griddle can only be used over the center burner(s) of the rangetop. To position the griddle, remove the
center grate (if present), and replace it with the griddle. Do not turn on the center burner(s) until you are certain the
griddle has been positioned correctly.
Preheating Your Griddle
For models with a non-reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting both center burners to 4 for 5-10 minutes
before placing food on the griddle. For models with a reversible griddle, preheat your griddle by setting your center
burner to Hi for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the knob on the
burner(s) to the cook setting outlined in the table.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
■ Use care when cooking greasy foods. Spilled grease may result in fire.
■ Never place any items on the griddle when it is not in use. Heat from surrounding burners can heat
the griddle and may result in fire.
■ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are turned OFF.
Griddle (on some models)
Cook settings may need to be reduced if the griddle is used for an
extended time.
