Figure 1
Figure 2
Side with grooves
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking and can be used on both
sides (Figures 2 and 3). Do not use pans or other cookware on the
griddle. Doing so could damage the finish. With the grate in position over
the burner, set the griddle on top of the grate positioning the notches in
the griddle over the grate fingers (Figures 1 and 2).
!
caution
Always place the griddle on the grate before to turn on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the grate. Allow the griddle to cool before
removing. Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly and stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns.
