NOTICE:

Griddle/Grill performance may vary if there is an excessive amount of airflow in the vicinity of the appliance. The excessive airflow could be from an air-conditioning register or ceiling fan blowing at the rangetop. This could create longer than normal heat-up time, or it could cause the Griddle/Grill temperature to be higher or lower than the knob setting.

NOTE:

Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not considered a source of excessive airflow.
