COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE
When it comes to using the griddle, there are a few things to keep in mind:
• As time goes on and griddle use increases, discoloration of the griddle plate may happen and is
normal.
• When emptying the grease tray, be sure to pour the grease into a proper container for grease
disposal, not down the drain. Do not scrape with metal utensils.
It will take some practice to get to know how your griddle performs with certain foods. The table
below gives a few recommendations on temperatures.

Read the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual for complete instructions.
NEVER flood the hot griddle plate with cold water. This can permanently warp the plate.
DO NOT clean any part of the griddle in the Self-Clean Cycle of the oven. Do not put your griddle
plate into the dishwasher, as it will damage your appliance.
Wait until the appliance has cooled completely before cleaning.
