OVEN/GRIDDLE TOP
Griddles
Griddle tops are designed to have food cooked directly on
the surface. Do not put pots or pans on the griddle surface as
this will scratch or nick the surface and will result in improper
cooking or sticking of the product. Never salt food over the
griddle since this will build up a gummy residue making it
difficult to clean.
Avoid hitting the surface of the griddle with the edge of a
spatula since this will cause nicks. The most frequently used
temperatures are 300° F (149°C) to 350°(177°C). After one
firing, the griddle plate will discolour, this is normal and will
not affect cooking performance.
Check the grease container and drain frequently during
heavy use to prevent overflow.
Preparing A New Griddle
1. Remove the protective coating on the surface using a
mild detergent.
2. Thoroughly rinse the griddle with vinegar and a water
solution (3/4 cup vinegar per quart of water) and dry.
Lighting The Griddle
NOTE: Ensure that the gas and electrical supply to the
appliance are turned “ON”. During the initial ignition cycle, air
must be purged from the gas line and thus it may take two or
three tries for ignition to occur.
