Griddles

Griddle tops are designed to have food cooked directly on the surface. Do not put pots or pans on the griddle surface as this will scratch or nick the surface and will result in improper cooking or sticking of the product. Never salt food over the griddle since this will build up a gummy residue making it difficult to clean.

Avoid hitting the surface of the griddle with the edge of a spatula since this will cause nicks. The most frequently used temperatures are 300° F (149°C) to 350°(177°C). After one firing, the griddle plate will discolour, this is normal and will not affect cooking performance.

Check the grease container and drain frequently during heavy use to prevent overflow.

Preparing A New Griddle

1.Remove the protective coating on the surface using a mild detergent.

2.Thoroughly rinse the griddle with vinegar and a water solution (3/4 cup vinegar per quart of water) and dry.

Lighting The Griddle

NOTE:  Ensure that the gas and electrical supply to the appliance are turned “ON”. During the initial ignition cycle, air must be purged from the gas line and thus it may take two or three tries for ignition to occur.
