Griddle Tips
●Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface, which may be greased lightly before adding food. Preheat griddle 5 to 10 minutes at HIGH setting unless otherwise indicated on the Griddle Cooking Guide (see page 17), then switch to recommended cook setting.
. Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or sausage, may be started on a cold 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. Foods in covered dishes or pans may also be warmed on the griddle. Use heat- resistant dishes only.
. Condition or “season” griddle before
●Make sure Grill Pan is clean before using griddle.
●To avoid marring the nonstick finish, store griddle upright on edge, if possible. If it is necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans or utensils on top.
c To help maintain good food quality and prevent spoilage, do not keep foods warm on griddle for more than two hours. Delicate foods, such as eggs, should not be kept more than 15 to 30 minutes; entrees and casseroles may be warmed for 30 to 60 minutes. Hors d’oeuvres will stay hot for serving up to 1 or 1 Y2 hours. Rearrange or stir foods occasionally, if possible.
c If your cooktop is being operated on low power (voltage) foods may be lighter brown than expected. A longer preheating and griddle time may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
●Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or rough or sharp edges which might damage the nonstick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle. Use only

Q. Can my griddle be switched to the other side of the cooktop where it would be more convenient for me?
A. Your interchangeable cooktop modules can be used on either the right or left side of the cooktop.
When inserting or removing a module, take care not to force the connection or exert undue pressure which could damage the electrical contacts.
Additional grill modules can be purchased from your dealer, to double your grill/griddle capacity.
Q. Can prolonged periods of high heat damage my griddle’s surface?
A. A brief preheating period is often necessary for best results with many foods, but leaving the griddle on HIGH heat setting for more than 10 minutes without food
can damage the nonstick coating. - Always be sure to turn control
knobs to OFF when cooking is completed.
