About the Griddle

Description

(Available on some models)

The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum that is coated with a non-stick coating. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean. A maple chopping block, stainless steel cover, and coated- aluminum grill plate are available as accessories and are purchased separately. The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used. The coated-aluminum grill plate accessory is designed to replace the griddle plate. See the instructions that come with the grill plate accessory for more details.

The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.
