SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using the griddle (some models)
CAUTION
The griddle should be placed carefully over the two left
7 inch elements. When the bridge control is activated
along with the rear single element, they combine to
produce even heating of the griddle. The griddle will
be very hot. Always use oven mitts when handling
the griddle during and after cooking. The griddle may
appear to have cooled but the residual heat can cause
burns. Allow the griddle to cool for several minutes
after the bridge has been turned off.
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for
cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as
pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and
also for cooking different foods at the same time
Note:
The griddle is made of anodized aluminum and can
be cleaned easily with hot soapy water by hand washing
using a soft cloth

Important note:
• For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
•
The surface control knobs do not have to be set
exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided
as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
Each surface element provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting.
•
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
•
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
smoothtop.
•
Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur
more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
•
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
