Electric griddle

Description
9 CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient
time for griddle components to cool before cleaning.
9 WARNING
To avoid risk of injury, never operate the griddle
without the griddle plate installed. Never use the
griddle in a manner that is not prescribed by the Use
and Care Guide.
NOTE: Not available on all models.
Griddle widths vary.
A maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are
available as accessories and are purchased separately. The
maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be
removed before turning the griddle on.
The griddle plate must always be in place when the
griddle is turned on.
The griddle is electronically controlled with temperatures
marked on the knob from 150° – 500°F (66° – 260°C).
There are no fixed settings on the knob.
The 24'' griddle models have two heating elements that
can be regulated separately; one element for the left side
of the griddle and another for the right side. This allows
you to cook food with different temperature requirements
at the same time.
Preparing the griddle
To prepare the griddle
1. The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy
water then rinsed with clear water prior to use.
2. Check the griddle plate adjustment by pouring two
tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate.
-- The water should slowly roll into the grease tray.
3. If water does not flow to the front of the griddle,
move the griddle plate to the side.

4. Adjust the two screws under the back of the plate.
Start with one half turn counterclockwise of the screws
(below).
5. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter
turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.
The griddle may be used without any butter, margarine or
oil. However, a very small amount may be used to flavor
foods.
DO NOT use metal utensils on the griddle surface. Care
should be taken that the surface is not gouged when
utensils are used. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle
plate.
NOTICE: Performance may vary if there is an excessive
amount of airflow in the vicinity of the appliance. The
excessive airflow could be from an air-conditioning
register or ceiling fan blowing at the rangetop. This could
create longer than normal heat-up time, or it could cause
the temperature to be higher or lower than the knob
setting.
NOTE: Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not
considered a source of excessive airflow.
Cooking on the griddle
To cook on the griddle
1. Press and turn the knob clockwise to the appropriate
cooking temperature to preheat the griddle.
2. Preheat the griddle.
3. Add butter, margarine, oil or shortening if desired.
Use the lowest cooking temperature possible. Recipes
may need to be modified as the non-stick coating browns
and sears at lower temperatures.
