The Griddle
The griddle fits the centre left pan support, front to
back. It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t
use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-
stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or
wooden utensils.
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fit properly and will
be unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burners - it is not designed to
fit the Wok burner pan supports.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting
on the pan support.
Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil
before use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the
flame heights to suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause
damage. The controls can be turned to a lower
position simply by turning the control knobs towards
the lower position marked with the small flame
symbol.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases
to escape.
Never
fit two griddles side by side. Large
pans should also be spaced well apart.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for
griddle cooking.
High/medium:
Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low:
Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the
correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
Don’t put it on a Wok burner - it is not designed
to fit the Wok burner pan supports.
