How to Set The Griddle Controls

The control knob must be pushed in to turn; this prevents the heating element from being turned on accidentally. Push the knob in only when it is in the OFF position. When the knob is in any other position, it can be turned without pushing it in.

Front and rear sections of the griddle heating element are controlled separately. Heat only half the griddle surface for cooking small portions or set each half at a different temperature for cooking different types of foods.

Push in the control knob depending on which side of the cooktop griddle module is used. The right front and right rear control knobs operate the griddle when the module is on the right side (on some models).

The left front and left rear control knobs operate the griddle when the griddle module is on the left side of the cooktop.

Automatic Blower Operation

The blower comes on automatically when the griddle is turned on and turns off automatically when the griddle is turned off.

Griddle Tips

Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface, which may be greased lightly before adding food. Preheat griddle for only 5 minutes at HI setting, then switch to recommended cook setting.

If your house has low voltage, foods may be lighter brown than expected. A longer preheating and griddle time may be needed to get good cooking results.

Make sure the griddle is clean.

Check the grease collector jar and empty if necessary to avoid spillovers.

To avoid damaging the non-stick finish, store the griddle upright on edge, if possible. If it is necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans or utensils on top.

Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or sausage, may be started on a cold griddle.

Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or rough or sharp edges which might damage the non- stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods

on the griddle.

Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the griddle; a high domed metal cover, such as an inverted kettle, placed over them will help store the heat.

Condition or “season” the griddle before first-time use.
