Cooking on the Griddle

1.Check that the grease tray is tucked under the griddle plate overhang.

2.Turn the knob to the cooking temperature to preheat the griddle.

3.Preheat 10 to 12 minutes.

4.Add butter, margarine, oil or shortening if desired.

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 cooktop. 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.

Tips for Bake

Preheating the Oven

Preheat the oven before cooking any foods, except large pieces of meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating recommendation. Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.

Getting the Best Results

•Minimize opening the door:

•Use a minute timer.

•Use the interior oven light.

•Choose the right size utensil; use the utensil recommended in the recipe.

•Store the broiler pans outside the oven. An extra pan without food, affects the browning and cooking.

•The type of pan used affects the browning:

•For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non- stick/anodized or shiny metal utensils.

•For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/ anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F.
