Using saucepans
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the countertop as this can deflect heat and
damage the countertop surface.
Hold the handle of the saucepan to prevent movement of cookware when stirring.
Saucepans should have a thick flat base. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take
longer to cook.
Extremely heavy saucepans may bend the grate or deflect the flame.
Match the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone and be sure that they are stable.
This will give you the most efficient cooking.
Using the skillet/griddle (GC912M only)
Your griddle will offer you a quick, hot method of
cooking ideal for pancakes, vegetables and eggs.
Always use medium to high temperatures and
heat the griddle well before cooking on it. Oil the
food lightly prior to cooking, not the griddle, to
avoid splattering and smoking.
Important!
Prolonged cooking may damage the griddle and the
cooktop, which could lead to control and wiring damage.
Seasoning Skillet/griddle before first use
Your new griddle comes with a finish which is intended to burn off with seasoning. The
seasoning process will naturally blacken the griddle.
Wash your griddle thoroughly in warm water with detergent. Use a scouring pad to remove any
residue that might be on the griddle. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Coat the griddle, including handles, liberally with vegetable oil and place in oven at 300°F/150°C
for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wipe excess oil from griddle with a paper
towel.
Cleaning your skillet/griddle
Place in hot water with a small amount of detergent while still warm. If there is food residue left
on the griddle, scrub with a wire barbecue brush or scouring pad to remove it. Make sure that
the griddle is completely dry before storing. This may be helped by warming the griddle on a
burner.
