To prevent food from sticking, it is recommended to "season"
the griddle prior to use.

Seasoning the griddle

The griddle must be cleaned before first use.
Use hot water and mild detergent to remove any manufacturing
residues. Rinse and dry.
Turn on the ventilation hood to first or second speed.
Turn both griddle control knobs to level 9 for 10 minutes. After
10 minutes, turn the knobs to OFF and allow to cool down to
the point it is safe to touch.
While the surface is slightly warm, pour a small amount of
peanut or vegetable oil on a paper towel and spread evenly
on the cooking surface of the griddle plate.
Turn up the speed of your hood and then turn the griddle
control knobs to level 9. Heat until the oil on the griddle begins
to smoke, then turn the knobs to OFF and allow to cool.
Once cool, wipe off any excess oil.

Griddle care

Scrape grease from the griddle surface into the grease
collection trench after each use. When the surface has cooled,
wipe with a paper towel to remove excess grease or oil.
After each use, reapply a small amount of peanut or vegetable
oil on a paper towel and spread evenly.
Occasionally remove the seasoning. Pour 1/2 cup (100 ml)
warm water and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) griddle cleaner onto the
griddle and scrape residue into the grease collection trench,
then empty absorbing the grease and residues. Follow the
directions of the griddle cleaner.
When dry, reapply a small amount of oil for seasoning.
ATTENTION
The range must be level for the griddle to operate properly.

Turn both griddle control knobs to the desired temperature.
In order to pre-heat the griddle, set level 9 for 10 minutes and

Cooking Tips

• Preheat the griddle plate in according with the following
chart.
• Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs,
pancakes, French toast, fish and sandwiches. This will help
reduce sticking. (Only use fats/oils that can tolerate high
temperature)
• Pat down wet food items with paper towel to prevent splatters
during grilling.
• Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking
to make the cleanup easier and to avoid including those
particles in the food.
