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. 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
shortening. However, it 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.

To help you decide which way to cook your food read this information first. Remember this is a new
oven and the thermostat has been checked for accuracy. Your old oven may have had a thermostat
that over the years got a little hot or a little cold. Check your recipes for the correct time and
temperature. Use caution when using your old ovens time or temperature. You may have been
compensating for your old oven being out of calibration. Models RDS-484GG, RDS-485GD, & RDS-
486GL and RDS-486GD have two ovens. The 27” oven on the right side can be used for standard
baking, fan assisted convection baking, and broiling. It is also self-cleaning. The 12” oven on the left
side, can be used for standard baking, broiling, and proofing baked goods. It is also ideal for baking
small amounts of food when you don’t want to heat the large oven.
