Griddle Control (on some models)
To use the griddle control:
Touch the ON/OFF pad to activate
the griddle. “...” will appear in the
display.
Use the (+)/(–) pad to choose the
desired power setting. The default is
375. The griddle offers nine power
levels. Power levels range from 200
to 400 in 25 increments.
Once the desired setting has been
chosen, “PrE” will be displayed until
the desired temperature has been
reached.
To turn the griddle unit off, touch
the ON/OFF pad.
NOTE : Use only with the griddle control
to avoid degrading the nonstick coating.
Most griddled foods require cooking
on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle
according to the guide below; then switch
to the desired cook setting.

How to place the griddle:
IMPORTANT: Always place and use
your griddle at the designated location
on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Clean the griddle with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. DO NOT use
blue or green scrubbing pads or steel
wool.
■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods
and be careful of grease spillover while
cooking.
■ Never place or store any items on
the griddle, even when it is not in use.
The griddle can become heated when
using the surrounding surface units.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp
points or rough edges, which might
damage the griddle. Do not cut foods
on the griddle.
■ Do not use cookware as a storage
container for food or oil. Permanent
staining and/or craze lines could result.
NOTE : The nonstick coating will degrade
when exposed to temperatures over 500°F.
Use only with the griddle control and only
at the designated location on the cooktop.
Do not use the griddle to broil food in the
oven. Do not clean the griddle using the
self-clean mode in the oven. The griddle
control prevents overheating the nonstick
coating. At temperatures over 660°F, the
nonstick properties permanently degrade
and may produce fumes harmful to birds.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time
with use.
NOTE : Do not clean the griddle in the
self-cleaning oven.
NOTE : Always allow the cookware to cool
before immersing in water.

NOTE: Griddle settings may need to be adjusted
if griddle is used for an extended time. Setting is an
approximate cooking temperature and will vary
with quantity of food.
BURN HAZARD: Griddle surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns during and
after use. Place and remove the griddle when it is cool and all surface units are
off. Use oven mitts if you will touch the griddle while hot. Failure to do so can
result in burns.
CAUTION
Before using this cookware for the first
time, wash it to make sure it is clean. Then
season it lightly, rubbing cooking oil onto
the nonstick surface.
