Your non-stick coated griddle
provides an extra-large cooking
surface for meats, pancakes or
other foods usually prepared in a
frying pan or electric skillet.
You can also use the griddle as a
warming tray by using a
heat setting.
The griddle has its own integral
cooking element. The control
marked GRIDDLE changes the
temperature over the entire
surface.

Using the Griddle
The non-stick griddle must
be preconditioned before
using it the first time. To
precondition, first wash the
griddle in soap and water, and
dry. Then apply a small amount
of no-stick cooking spray to the
griddle. Remove excess with a
clean paper towel.
Preheat the griddle as
recommended in the Griddle
Cooking Guide. After preheating
for the recommended amount of
time, apply a small amount of
cooking oil or butter.
Do not overheat the griddle.
Leaving the griddle at HI for
more than 10 minutes without
food can damage the non-stick
coating.
When using the griddle, adjust
the fan to a low setting in the
downdraft vent system (or
overhead hood, if used).
How to Remove the
Griddle
Be sure the controls are off (0)
and the griddle is cool.
To remove the griddle:
Step 1: Lift the edge of the griddle
slightly to let any excess fat or oil
flow into the drain holes. Wear
a protective mitt or use a pot
holder.
Step 2: Remove the griddle,
carefully separating the element
plug from the receptacle by raising
the opposite side of the griddle just
enough to clear the well and
pulling it away from the
receptacle. Do not force the
griddle too far upward when
removing the plug.
