Using the Electric Griddle
Description
(Available on some models)
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum
that is coated with a non-stick coating. This produces a
surface with even heat that is easy to clean. A maple
chopping block, stainless steel cover, and coated-
aluminum grill plate are available as accessories and are
purchased separately. The maple chopping block and
stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface
when the griddle is not being used. The coated-aluminum
grill plate accessory is designed to replace the griddle
plate. See the instructions that come with the grill plate
accessory for more details.
The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must
be removed before turning the griddle on.
The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC,
1,600 watts.
CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow
sufficient time for griddle components to cool
before cleaning.
Control Knob
The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150°F to 500°F.
There are no fixed settings on the knob.
Press and turn the knob clockwise to the temperature
setting.
Preparing the Griddle
The griddle must be tilted slightly forward for optimum
performance. See Installation Manual for procedure to
check and adjust griddle for proper tilt of griddle plate. The
griddle plate is tilted slightly from the factory, however
during installation, the installer is responsible for leveling
the product. The griddle plate should be washed with warm
soapy water then rinsed with clear water prior to use.The
griddle may be used without any butter, margarine or oil.
However, a very small amount may be used to flavor foods.
Any utensil may be used on the griddle surface.
Care should be taken that the surface is not gouged when
utensils are used.
Griddle Grease Tray
Push the tray under the front edge of the griddle
overhang to catch grease or food residue.
Clean the tray after every use. When removing the tray,
use care so that the contents do not spill.
