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.
If the griddle is washed in a dishwasher then some
dishwasher residue may appear on the back. This is
normal and will not affect the performance of your griddle
