USING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle will darken and ‘season’ with use, developing a natural non-stick coating.
When it is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil.
1 Remove the cover and check that the grease drip-pan is properly in place.
IMPORTANT!
●
Never turn on or use the griddle with the cover in place.
●
Always keep the vents at the rear of the griddle frame clear of any object:
airflow to the vents must not be blocked.
2 If you haven’t used the griddle for a long time, re-season it. See section ‘First use –
seasoning the griddle’ for instructions.
3 Turn the griddle knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature.
●
There may be a delay of a minute or so before the griddle comes on. This is normal.
●
While the griddle is heating up, the halo around the knob will glow white.
●
See the ‘Griddle cooking chart’ below for suggestions.
4 When the halo turns orange (after about 15 minutes), the griddle is ready to use.
●
Note: the halo may alternate between white and orange during use as the griddle
maintains the set temperature.
5 When you have finished using the griddle, turn its knob clockwise back to OFF.
6 Clean the griddle and grease drip-pan after every use. The griddle should be
cleaned very carefully while it is still hot. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.
