b.Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface

c.Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until it smokes.

d.Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is removed.

e.For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the griddle has a slick, clean surface.
