our non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface
for meats, pancakes or other foods usually prepared in a frying pan or
electric skillet. You can also use the griddle as a warming tray by using
a low-heat setting.
How to Assemble the Griddle Accessory
1. Be sure the controls
are
OFF.
2.
Place
the
2
reflector
plates
in the grease well.
3. Grasp the
grill
element with both hands
near the
plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal
as
possible, push the
pltlg
firmly into the receptacle
to
ensure complete contact.
4. Place
the griddle into the opening in the cooktop
with the 2
drain
holes toward the front of the
cooktop (nearest the controls)
as
shown in this
illustration.
NOTE:
When properly placed, the griddle sits
slightly above the cooktop. This. and the open
spaces on the sides
and
rear of the griddle, prevent
excessive temperatures.
Using the Griddle
The non-stick griddle must be preconditioned
before using it for the first time.
To precondition,
first wash the griddle in soap and water and dry. Then
use a paper towel
to
apply a small amount of cooking
oil
[o
the griddle. Remove excess
oil
with a
clean
paper towel.
Preheat the griddle as recommended in the Griddle
Cooking Guide. After preheating for the recommended
amount of time, apply a
smal
I
amount
of’ oil or butter.
Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle
at HI for more than 10 minutes without food can
damage the non-stick coating.
When using the griddle, the blower system is
automatically controlled.
Always turn on both sections of the heating
element under the griddle.
Heating only part of the
griddle may warp it and will result in non-uniform
cooking. Because the heating element under
the
griddle is divided,
yOLI
can vary the temperature on
the
front and rear sections.
