Remove the metal cover and the cutting board
before turning the griddle on.
The griddle assembly should not be
removed for cleaning.
Once the unit is in position, the griddle can
be leveled. Remove the flue cover by lifting
it straight up. Be careful not to scratch the
surrounding stainless steel surfaces during
removal of the flue cover.
The two inner screws are clamping screws for
securing the griddle in place. Loosen these
two screws before leveling.
Do not remove
these two screws.
The two outer screws are leveling screws.
Do
not remove these two screws.
They can
be turned to level the griddle or to provide a
forward slope to help grease and oils to drain
away from the food being cooked. After the
first few uses, you will be able to judge the
slope best suited for the foods you are cooking
and personal preference.
After leveling the griddle, tighten the clamping
screws to secure griddle in place.

Using
the griddle
Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy
water before first use and after subsequent
uses. The griddle surface is made of durable,
highly polished Type 304 stainless steel backed
by an aluminum plate for even heat distribution.
Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the griddle
surface to help prevent food from sticking.
To heat the griddle, push in and turn the
control knob to the desired temperature
setting. The light on the bezel will glow to
indicate that the thermostat control is working.
The griddle is thermostatically controlled and
can be set to maintain any temperature from
200ºF to 450ºF. Permit the griddle to preheat
for 10 minutes before placing food on it.
NOTE:
Unlike the surface burners which use
spark igniters, the griddle uses a Glo-Bar for
ignition. Gas flows to the griddle burner and
ignition occurs approximately 45 seconds after
the control knob is turned to a set temperature.
