Griddle/Simmer Plate

(on applicable models)

Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation

•Turn the griddle control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature setting. The power “ON” indicator light will glow indicating the griddle thermostat is on.

•When the griddle has reached the desired temperature, the power “ON” indicator light will turn off indicating the griddle is preheated to the selected temperature.

•Use liquid cooking oil or butter for eggs, pancakes, French toast, fish and sandwiches to prevent sticking.

•Routinely scrape loose food particles with a heat resistant plastic or wooden spatula during cooking to make the cleanup easier and to avoid the particles mixing with the food.

•To turn the griddle off, turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.

•ALWAYS turn to the“OFF” position when not in use and lower the heat between cooking loads.

Note: On griddle model ranges, the griddle/simmer plate will not function during the self-clean cycle.

Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care

•AFTER the griddle has cooled, simply wipe down the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel. The chrome griddle plate can then be removed and taken to the sink for easy cleanup.

•After heavy cooking is completed and the griddle is still warm enough to create steam, pour a small amount of club soda at room temperature directly on the griddle. Using a heat resistant or wooden spatula, pull oils and food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire surface with a paper towel.

•Non-stick cooking spray is not recommended as it contains a high water content that has a tendency to burn quickly.

•Corn oil is not recommended as it has a high sugar level. It will caramelize and burn on the surface making it very difficult to remove.

•After using the griddle, always remove the grease trough located in the front. Simply pull the trough towards you and lift out. The trough or tray trap needs to be cleaned after each use. A fire hazard may occur if grease is accumulated in the trough.

•Important: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water. This thermal shock promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle to crack if continued over a period of time.

CAUTION: Chrome griddle plate is Not Dishwasher Safe

Optional Nonstick griddle/grill accessory plate is available for purchase.

Gentle Close Door Feature

All oven doors come standard with a gentle close feature. The door will remain in an open position until the door is approximately 5” (12.7 cm) away from the oven. When reaching this point, the door will require a slight push to engage the gentle close mechaism. The closing speed of the door will vary according to the oven temperature.

Rack Positions

The 36”W. and 48” W. right-hand oven is equipped with two full extension glide racks and one standard tilt-proof rack. The 18” left- hand oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks. All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
