Drain groove
3. Place the griddle over the grill burner so
that the drain groove is in front. This will
let extra grease collect in the drain jar.

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
this page.
3. After preheating, lightly wipe the top of
the griddle with cooking oil. This prevents
sticking. Do not use shortening or butter
to grease the griddle.
NOTE: Do not preheat a seasoned
griddle. If the griddle is seasoned during
preheat, oil changes its chemical compo-
sition and forms a varnish-like finish,
which is difficult to remove.
Griddling tips
•
Place food right on the cooking surface of
the griddle.
•
Turn off the grill burner when cooking is
finished. Leaving the burner on will dam-
age 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.

the griddle is cool when not in use.
Failure to do so can result in fire
