ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which

will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

;;:IIIIIC

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Using the Griddle

Before first use:

•Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

•Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).

•Preheat your oven to 350°E Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

•Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°E then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

•The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from this seasoning process. If desired,

wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely. After each use:

•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

•After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

•DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

•Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing. Using the Griddle:

IlkVAI';ilt;1.Ze] _i,

Because the

griddle

does not

lay flat on the ceramic glass cooktop,

it will not work with the Pan

Sensing

(Sensa

Cook) feature.

•Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side bridge element.

•Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.

•DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Always

place the griddle on the cooktop before turning on the element.

Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the cooktop.

Allow the griddle to cool before removing. Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such as countertops.

Be sure the

griddle is positioned correctly and is stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
