BEFORE FIRST USE

Griddle Seasoning

CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the griddle is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is important to “season” or “fill up” these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.

To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil per square foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an insulated cloth.

Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.

PREHEATING

Hot Top and Griddle Top Burners

Turn burner “ON” to highest heat to heat hot top section quickly. Hot top or griddle top will be ready to cook on in about 10 minutes. After top section has reached operation temperature, turn some of the burners down. You will save as much as 80% of gas consumption and notice very little difference in cooking performance as long as you have allowed the entire hot top or griddle top section to preheat properly.

Open Top Burners

Open top burners ignite quickly and do not require any preheating time. When food comes to a rolling boil, cut back to slower boil to conserve energy, yet continue boiling. Turn burners ON only when in use.

CLEANING

Do not use Dawn® dish detergent to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.

Do not use scouring powder; it is extremely difficult to remove completely and can build up accumulations that will damage the oven.
