About the 12” and 24” Electric Griddle
Description
(Available on some models)
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum that is coated with tita-
nium. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean. A maple chop-
ping block and stainless steel cover are available as accessories and are purchased
separately. Both are sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being
used.
The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turn-
ing the griddle on.
The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC, 1,600 watts. The 24" electric
griddle element is rated 240 volts AC, 3200 watts.
CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for griddle
components to cool before cleaning.

from 150°F to 500°F.
