lighted match near a burner and turn the control to
the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control to the desired setting.
Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
l
Burner flame should not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame
can burn you and cause poor cooking
results.
l
Be sure all control knobs are turned to off
when you are not cooking. Someone could
be burned or a fire could start if a burner is
accidentally left ON.
l
lf the flame should go out while cooking,
or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the
burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas
odor to disappear before relighting burner.
tf gas odor is still present, see safety note
on page 3. Failure to follow these precau-
tions could result in explosion or fire.
Using the griddle
(Models SC8536EX & SC8536EW)
Burn, Fire and Product Damage Hazard
l
Be sure the griddle control is off and the
griddle is cool and covered when not in
use. Failure to do so could result in burns,
fire or damage.
l
When cleaning griddle, never use a metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleanser on the
griddle. These will damage the non-stick
surface.
l
Do not use cookware on the griddle. Use
only plastic or nylon kitchen utensils on
the griddle. Metal can damage the non-
stick cooking surface.
NOTE:
Griddle cover must be in open position
when griddle is on.
Before using the griddle for the first time:
1.
The cooking surface should be washed with
warm, soapy water, rinsed and dried.
2. After cleaning, lightly wipe the cooking surface
with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking.
You do not have to season (grease) the
griddle every time you use it. Be sure to use
only cooking oil (not shortening or butter) to
season the griddle.
3. Preheat on HI, then turn control to a lower
setting to cook.
4. Place food directly on cooking surface.
5. Turn off the griddle burner when cooking is
finished. Leaving burner ON will damage the
griddle.
