Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

How to place the griddle:

IMPORTANT: Always place and use your griddle at the designated location on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■ Clean the griddle with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. DO NOT use blue or green scrubbing pads or steel wool.

■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be careful of grease spillover while cooking.

■ Never place or store any items on the griddle, even when it is not in use. The griddle can become heated when using the surrounding surface units.

container for food or oil. Permanent

staining and/or craze lines could result.

 

NOTE: The nonstick coating will degrade when exposed to temperatures over 500°F. Use only with the griddle control and only at the designated location on the cooktop. Do not use the griddle to broil food in the oven. Do not clean the griddle using the self-clean mode in the oven. The griddle control prevents overheating the nonstick coating. At temperatures over 660°F, the nonstick properties permanently degrade and may produce fumes harmful to birds.

NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time with use.

NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self-cleaning oven.

NOTE: Always allow the cookware to cool before immersing in water.
