2.Drip Tray

The griddle is a built-in unit made of polished steel and comes with a drip tray. It is shipped with a protective coating covered with paper to prevent rust from occurring and must be removed before using. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■Do not use cookware on the griddle.

■Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.

■The griddle must be level to operate properly.

■The griddle should be preheated before cooking most foods. Refer to recipe or package instructions.

■Remove and clean the grease tray and the area below after each use.

■After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion. Do not use corn oil.

■It is normal for a seasoned griddle to darken with use.

Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knobs to OFF and allow griddle to cool.

First Time Use:

1.Remove the paper from the griddle.

2.Completely remove the protective coating from the surface with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry.

3.Pour 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil onto the center of the griddle and spread evenly over the entire surface with a paper towel.

The griddle is ready for use. If desired, additional grease or shortening may be used when cooking.
