How to Set The Griddle Controls
The control knob must be pushed in to turn;
this prevents the heating element from being turned
on accidentally. Push the knob in only when it is in
the OFF position. When the knob is in any other
position, it can be turned without pushing it in.
Front and rear sections of the griddle heating
element are controlled separately. Heat only half
the griddle surface for cooking small portions or set
each half at a different temperature for cooking
different types of foods.
Push in the control knob depending on which side of
the cooktop griddle module is used. The right front
and right rear control knobs operate the griddle
when the module is on the right side (on some
models). The left front and left rear control knobs
operate the griddle when the griddle module is on the
left side of the cooktop.

Griddle Tips
• Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated
surface, which may be greased lightly before adding
food. Preheat griddle for only 5 minutes at HI
setting, then switch to recommended cook setting.
• If your house has low voltage, foods may be lighter
brown than expected. A longer preheating and griddle
time may be needed to get good cooking results.
• Make sure the griddle is clean.
• Check the grease collector jar and empty if
necessary to avoid spillovers.
• To avoid damaging the non-stick finish, store the
griddle upright on edge, if possible. If it is
necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans
or utensils on top.
• Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon
or sausage, may be started on a cold griddle.
• Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or
rough or sharp edges which might damage the non-
stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods
on the griddle.
• Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the
griddle; a high domed metal cover, such as an
inverted kettle, placed over them will help store
the heat.
• Condition or “season” the griddle before
first-time use.
