Griddle

(model EG1000GX only)

A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two

GB oval burners at the front of the hob or the two medium burners at the rear.

The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is covered with a special nonstick finish. To protect the non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils may be used. Do not use saucepans on the griddle plate.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE

GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY OTHER

HOTPLATE BURNERS.

USE OF THE GRIDDLE

The griddle may be used with either or both of the burners on, depending on the food being cooked.

1.Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners, making sure that the support feet are located correctly on the pan support fingers.

2.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob(s) of the burners anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.

3.Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However when cooking drier foods eg. drop scones the griddle plate can be lightly greased.

4.The controls can be left at high for the sealing of foods or turned down to a lower heat setting depending on what food is being cooked. NB. A gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of griddling. Once the griddle plate is up to tempera- ture it maintains the cooking temperature on a medium/low setting.

5.Cook the food for the required time, which will depend on the type of food being cooked.

6.To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s) fully clockwise to the O position.

7.Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.
