Always place the griddle on the grate before to turn on the burner.

Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the grate. Allow the griddle to cool before removing. Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat; such as countertops.

Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly and stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
