USING THE GRIDDLE (ACCESSORY ITEM PART # 4396096)

IMPORTANT: Always use oven mitts when handling a hot griddle.

•Before using a griddle for the first time, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

•On gas cooktops, burner grates must be used to properly position griddle above burner flames.

•Never use high heat. Excessive heat will cause discoloration, will shorten the life of the non-stick surface and may cause damage to the cooktop.

•Preheat griddle on medium setting, then adjust for cooking. Use only medium to low settings.

•Never cut food with a metal utensil or knife while on the griddle surface. It may damage the non-stick finish. Use only plastic, rubber, or wooden utensils.

•Always turn off the burners before draining the griddle. Drain griddle away from range. Be sure to wipe any fats and oils from the sides and bottom before returning griddle to the range.

•Avoid sudden temperature changes such as running water on a hot griddle. This may cause warping.

Cleaning the griddle

•Clean the griddle only after it has cooled.

•After each use, thoroughly wash griddle in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Use non-abrasive plastic scrubber to remove food build up.

•Never put the griddle in the dishwasher. Dishwashing detergents will corrode the aluminum.
