ABOUT THE GRIDDLE
(Available on some models)
DESCRIPTION
The built in griddle is made of restaurant quality
aluminum coated with titanium. This produces a
surface with even heat that is easy to clean.
The griddle has an aluminized steel tube burner that
is lit by a spark igniter. The griddle should light within
4 clicks of the igniter. This eliminates the need for a
continuous burning pilot light.
A maple chopping block and stainless steel cover
are available as accessories and purchased
separately. It is sized to fit on top of the surface when
the griddle is not being used.
•The burner is rated at 15,000 BTU / HR.
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle must be level or tilted slightly forward
for optimum performance. 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.
• The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150ºF to
500ºF.
• There are no fixed settings on the knob.
• Press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to the
temperature setting.
Any utensil, including metal ones may be used on
the griddle surface. Care should be taken so the
surface is not gouged when metal utensils are used.
