Observe the burners through the opening at the top of the control panel.
•
When the burners go OFF, apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted
vegetable oil to the griddle surface.
•
Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a towel.

Recoat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off any
excess oil.

During the first few hours of operation you may notice a
small amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a
faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a new
griddle and will disappear after the first few hours of
use.
