Griddle (optional accessory)

Use the raised grill side of the griddle-Fig. 1- to cook meats such as sausage, steak, bacon, or other items that produce grease when cooking.

Use the smooth side of the griddle-Fig. 2- to cook items such as pancakes, eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches.

The griddle will perform best on the left side, but may be used on the right side. Make sure that all burners are turned off before placing the griddle on the grates.

Using the griddle

Place either side of the griddle centered over the left or right side of gas burner grates. Be sure locking tabs fit properly on top of grates-Fig.1-.

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 burner setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Before first use

1.Wash griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

2.Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface. Only season one side of the griddle at a time. Be sure to bake the seasoned side up.

3.Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

4.The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
