ABOUTTHE GRIDDLE

(Available on some models)

DESCRIPTION

The built in griddle is made of restaurant quality aluminum coated with titanium.This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.

The griddle has an aluminized steel tube burner that is lit by a spark igniter.The griddle should light within 4 clicks of the igniter.This eliminates the need for a continuous burning pilot lighter.

A maple chopping block is available as an accessory and purchased separately. It is sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used.

•The burner is rated at 15,000 BTU / HR.

PREPARING THE GRIDDLE

The griddle must be level or tilted slightly forward for optimum performance. The griddle should have been leveled during installation. If not,the griddle can be leveled by removing the griddle plate and frame then adjusting the leveling screws at the front and back of the griddle opening.

The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy water then rinsed with clear water prior to use. The griddle may be used without any butter, margarine or oil. However,a very small amount may be used to flavor foods. Any utensil, including metal ones may be used on the griddle surface. Care should be taken so the surface is not gouged when metal utensils are used.
