Care & Seasoning of the Griddle (Optional accessory)
Before first use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F . Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at
350°F,
then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If
desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.

The rack can be used in two ways:

(Fig. 2) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for
example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
•
In the
downward position
(Fig. 3) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls
or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
ikCAUTION

Using the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with a lid
or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only
utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.
Note: The Warmer Drawer will not operate during the Self-Clean cycle.
