Griddle Finish
The aluminum griddle is very durable.
It features a stick resistant surface that
is an integral part of the metal; it is not
a coating. This hardness is achieved
through a special anodizing process
which changes the surface metal struc-
ture. This surface will not rust, chip or
peel. Because of it hardness, metal
utensils may be used on it while cook-
ing; however, cutting food with a knife
or other sharp utensil should be
avoided.
Stains, Shadows
Stains on the finish usually result from
improper cleaning of the griddle.
Minor stains, shadows or images are
considered normal and do not effect
the performance of the griddle. To
maintain good performance and ap-
pearance, always follow the cleaning
instructions, see Page 24.
BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE or THE GRILL
Wash the griddle and the grill with hot sudsy water, then rinse
thoroughly with clear hot water and dried. This should remove
any manufacturing oils which may still be on the surface. A small
amount of oil or butter applied after preheating helps to prevent
sticking.
GRIDDLE’n GRILL™
(Model SGS)
GRIDDLE ONLY
(Model SGN)
Your new Thermador Griddle’n Grill
is a dual purpose electric appliance; a
griddle and a grill. The griddle and
the grill are used separately and must
sit directly on the element for best
cooking results. If the griddle or the
grill does not sit on the element, it will
not heat enough for foods to cook
properly.
The Griddle’n Grill control has an
infinite number of heat settings. There
are no fixed positions between HI
and LO.
To turn the element ON, push in on
the control knob and turn it in either
direction to the desired setting. See
chart for the griddle settings.
When ON, this element cycles a per-
centage of HI power on and off to
maintain the selected heat setting. On
HI it does not cycle.
