Your non-stick coated griddle provides 
an extra-large cooking surface for meats,
pancakes or other food usually prepared 
in a frying pan or skillet.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time 
as it becomes seasoned with use.
How to Place the Griddle
Using the griddle.
CAUTION:
Place and remove
the griddle only when the griddle is cool
and all surface units are turned OFF.
IMPORTANT: Always place and use your
griddle on the left surface units only.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle 
in the self-cleaning oven.
Using the Griddle
Most griddled foods require cooking 
on a preheated surface. Preheat griddle
according to the guide below, then switch 
to the desired cook setting.
To turn on the surface units for the entire
griddle, turn the knob clockwise.
To turn on the surface unit for the back 
half of the griddle, turn the knob
counterclockwise. 
CAUTION:
The entire griddle
will still become hot.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■
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.
