The Griddle
1
The griddle fi ts a single pan support, front to back.
It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use
pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-
stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or
wooden utensils.
2
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fi t properly and will
be unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to
fi t the Wok burner pan support.
3
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners
resting on the pan support. The griddle can be
lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the
hotplate burners. Adjust the fl ame heights to suit.
4
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause
damage. You can reduce the heat by turning the
control knobs towards the lower position (marked with
the small fl ame symbol).
5
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases
to escape. Never fi t two griddles side by side. Large
pans should also be spaced well apart. The maximum
pan base diameter is 250mm.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for
griddle cooking.
High/medium:
Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low:
Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the
correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
