Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the griddle
plate for the first time.
Only use the griddle which has been
approved for use on this appliance.
Do not use any other griddle, as this
may be hazardous.
For instructions on griddle cooking,
please refer to the accompanying
cooking guide.
Before using the griddle for the
first time
Wash the griddle thoroughly in hot
soapy water (see “Cleaning” section).
Season sparingly with a minimum
amount of cooking oil (see below).
Heat the griddle on full rate for 3 minutes.
The griddle plate is now ready for use.
Seasoning the griddle
The griddle is made of quality cast iron,
and has a non-stick cooking surface.
Regular seasoning will prolong the life
of the griddle and prevent rusting. If
the griddle shows signs of rust, wash
and re-season.
To season;
■
After cleaning, dry the griddle
thoroughly.
■
Rub the cooking side of the griddle
sparingly with a minimum amount
of unsalted vegetable oil. Note that
olive oil is unsuitable for seasoning.
Using the griddle
The griddle should only be used with
small and medium sized burners on
the right-hand side of the hotplate, as
indicated by the griddle symbol on the
fascia panel. Do not use the griddle
over large burners, wok burners or the
left-hand side small and medium burners.
Place the griddle carefully on the pan
support over the burners, using the
locating feet on the underside of the
griddle. Take care to avoid damage
to the vitreous enamel surface of the
pan supports.
Before cooking, preheat the griddle
for 3 minutes on full rate, which is
indicated on the control knobs by a
large flame symbol.
After preheating, turn the control
knobs to the small flame symbol.
The griddle is now ready for cooking.
Do not use metal implements, as they
may damage the non-stick surface.
After cooking, allow the griddle
to cool before moving or
cleaning it.

Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you
clean the whole of the stainless steel
area to maintain a uniform finish.
Supplies can be purchased from the
Customer Care Centre.
Do not use undiluted bleach or any
products containing chlorides as they
can permanently damage the steel.
Extra care should be taken when
cooking food in salted water. Some
foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit
juices and especially
salt
- they can
mark or damage stainless steel if they
are left on the surface. Wipe any
spillage immediately, taking care to
avoid skin contact with any hot surface
or spillage.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
