GRIDDLE USE
BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME OR TO RE-SEASON
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1 cup water and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil
over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth.
4. Turn the control knob to a Medium setting (350ºF). Turn the heat “OFF” when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the
griddle to cool.
5. Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil.
6. Repeat Step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth. Apply a
very thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use. If the griddle is not used for a period of time,
re-season it occasionally.
NOTE:
It is normal for the griddle to darken with use.
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Preheat griddle for 15
minutes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the cooking chart. When the griddle is
preheated, the HEATING light will turn “OFF” and the ready light will be “ON”. Place the food on the griddle and
cook to desired doneness.
NOTE:
When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil. However, oil can be used for
flavor. A light mist of non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods
easier to turn.
