Using
Before using the griddle for the first time:
1. Wash griddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well. 2. Preheat griddle for five minutes at the settings shown in the �Griddle chart� on page 32. 3. After preheating, lightly wipe the top of the griddle with cooking oil. This prevents sticking. You don�t have to grease the griddle every time you use it. Do not use shortening or butter to grease the griddle. NOTE: If the griddle is seasoned prior to preheating, the oil forms a varnish-like finish on the griddle. This finish is difficult to remove.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard Be sure the griddle controls are off and the griddle is cool and covered when not in use. Failure to do so can result in fire or burns.
Griddling tips
� Place food right on the cooking surface of the griddle. � Turn off the griddle element when cooking is finished. Leaving the element on will damage the griddle. � Do not use cookware on the griddle. Use only plastic or nylon kitchen utensils on the griddle. Metal could damage the nonstick cooking surface.
