7.4Using a griddle plate
A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:
•leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate and the side wall;
•if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is of triple flame type, leave a gap of at least 160 mm between this wall and the edge of the griddle plate;
•do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle plate;
•operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at maximum power, then turn them down to the minimum setting. Never use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes.
