Operating the Cooktop
Using the Griddle
For best results, allow the griddle to preheat for about 10
minutes before you start to cook.
1.
Before using the griddle for the first time, wash it in
hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry thor-
oughly.
2. With all of the burners off and the range cool to the
touch, put the griddle over the top of the center grate
on the range.* The grease trap goes toward the back
of the range. Fit the tabs that stick out of the bottom
of the feet into the inside corners of the grate. When
it is correctly installed, the griddle will rest securely
about 1/2” above the top surface of the grate. It may
rock slightly, which is normal.
3.
Turn the center front burner knob to the light (HIGH)
position. Once lit, turn the knob to the MAX GRIDDLE
position, or lower if desired. DO NOT keep the burner
knobs higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting after
they are lit!
4. Repeat step 3 for the center rear burner.
During cooking be careful with metal utensils on the sur-
face because they can scratch the non-stick coating.
Clean the griddle after each use. See page 51 for
instructions.
* The center grate has burners of the same size in the
front and back for even heating.
