Roper 4347928 (333240-1) manual Inserting The Griddle Module, Removing The Griddle Module

INSERTING THE GRIDDLE MODULE

To insert the griddle:

1.Be sure the controls are OFF.

2.Insert the reflector plates and the element from the grill module in the manner described in steps 2 and 3 on page 13.

3.Place the griddle into the opening in the cooktop with the two drain holes toward the front of the

cooktop (nearest the controls). See illustration.

Note: When properly placed the griddle sits slight- ly above the cooktop. This, and the open spaces on the sides and rear of the griddle, prevent excessive temperatures.

Preheat the griddle as recommended in the griddle chart

on page 18. After preheating for the recommended time apply a small amount of oil or butter. Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle at HI for more than 10 minutes without food can damage the non- stick coating. When griddling a LO blower setting is recommended.

Remember, because the heating element under the

griddle is divided, you can vary the temperature on the front and rear sections. Always turn on both sections of the heating element under the griddle. Heating only part of the griddle may warp it and will result in non- uniform cooking.

REMOVING THE GRIDDLE MODULE

Be sure the controls are OFF and the unit is cool.

To remove the griddle:

1.First, lift the back edge of the griddle a bit to let any excess fat or oil drain, then remove the grid- dle.

2.Remove the element as described on page 14.

USING THE GRIDDLE

The non-stick griddle must be preconditioned before

using it for the first time. To precondition, first wash the griddle in soap and water and dry. Then use a paper towel to apply a small amount of cooking oil to the grid- dle. Remove excess oil with a clean paper towel.

To preserve the finish, use only Teflon@ coated, nylon or wooden spatulas and spoons. Never use the griddle surface as a cutting board.

NOTE: Over a period of time, minor scratches and some

discoloration may appear in the non-stick coating. This will not affect the cooking performance or the non-stick finish.

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE

After cooking a greasy food, wipe the non-stick griddle while it is still warm with a dry paper towel. Be careful not to burn your fingers. When cool, wash the griddle at the sink in soap and water. Use a non-metal scouring

pad if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaning pro- ducts. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

From time to time, recondition the griddle with cooking oil as described in ‘Using the Griddle’ on this page.

It is a good idea to store the griddle on one edge. If you lay it flat, pans or other utensils may be put on top and scratch the non-stick coating.

Follow the cleaning instructions on page 14 for the reflector plates and porcelain well. Check the grease jar and empty or replace it as needed.
