Griddle/Simmer Plate (on applicable models)
The optional 1150W griddle is constructed of machined steel with a blanchard nish
and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well as easy clean
up. The griddle is equipped with an electronic thermostat to maintain an even
temperature across the griddle once the desired temperature has been set.
The griddle has a power “ON” indicator light which glows when the griddle
thermostat has been turned on. This will cycle on and off as needed to indicate the
thermostat is maintaining the selected temperature. Before the griddle is used it is
important to season the griddle. This seasoning process will change the appearance
of the griddle plate. However, it will also prevent food from sticking and protect the
surface from moisture.
Electric griddle
The griddle is equipped with a removable drip tray. After using the griddle, extract
the drip tray, and dispose its content, paying attention to avoid spillages.
Seasoning the Griddle Before the First Use
• Scrub the griddle plate with a mixture of one quart warm water and 1/4 cup white
vinegar, using a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad. Dry thoroughly.
• Wash griddle with warm, soapy water. Rinse off and dry thoroughly.
• Season griddle by thinly coating the surface with approximately 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon
unsalted vegetable oil. Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean cloth. Let
oil sit on griddle for approximately 1 hour and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper
towel to absorb any residual oil. The griddle is now ready to be used.
