Griddle Tips

● 

Most griddled foods require

cooking on a preheated surface,
which may be greased lightly
before adding food. Preheat griddle
5 to 10 minutes at HIGH setting
unless otherwise indicated on the
Griddle Cooking Guide (see page

17), then switch to recommended

cook setting.

. Foods which are high in natural
fat, such as bacon or sausage, may
be started on a cold griddle.

. Foods to be warmed may be

placed directly on the griddle; a
high domed metal cover such as an
inverted kettle, placed over them
will help store the heat. Foods in
covered dishes or pans may also be

warmed on the griddle. Use 
resistant dishes only.

. Condition or “season” griddle

before first-time use.

● 

Make sure Grill Pan is clean

before using griddle.

● 

To avoid marring the nonstick

finish, store griddle upright on
edge, if possible. If it is necessary
to store it flat, avoid placing other
pans or utensils on top.

 To help maintain good food

quality and prevent spoilage, do
not keep foods warm on griddle for
more than two hours. Delicate
foods, such as eggs, should not be
kept more than 15 to 30 minutes;
entrees and casseroles may be
warmed for 30 to 60 minutes. Hors
d’oeuvres will stay hot for serving

up to 1 or 1   hours. Rearrange or
stir foods occasionally, if possible.

 If your cooktop is being operated

on low power (voltage) foods may
be lighter brown than expected. A
longer preheating and griddle time

may be necessary to achieve the
desired results.

● 

Avoid using metal utensils with

sharp points or rough or sharp
edges which might damage the
nonstick coated griddle surface. Do
not cut foods on the griddle. Use
only heat-resistant dishes when
foods in containers are to be

warmed on the griddle. For further
information on caring for your
griddle’s surface, see the cleaning
instructions on page 17.

 and 

Q. Can my griddle be switched
to the other side of the cooktop
where it would be more convenient
for me?

A. Your interchangeable cooktop
modules can be used on either the
right or left side of the cooktop.
When inserting or removing a
module, take care not to force the
connection or exert undue pressure
which could damage the electrical
contacts.

Additional grill modules can be
purchased from your dealer, to
double your grill/griddle capacity.

Q. Can prolonged periods of high
heat damage my griddle’s surface?

A. A brief preheating period is
often necessary for best results
with many foods, but leaving the
griddle on HIGH heat setting for
more than 10 minutes without food
can damage the nonstick coating. 

-

Always be sure to turn control
knobs to OFF when cooking is
completed.
