GRIDDLE USE

USE OF THE GRIDDLE

Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Preheat griddle for 15 minutes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the cooking chart. When the griddle is preheated, the HEATING light will turn off. Place the food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.

NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional shortening. However, it can be used for flavor. A light mist of non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier to turn.
