Using the griddle
(Model CGX655V)
A warning
Burn And Fire Hazard
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 or fire.
To remove the griddle:
1. Lift and remove the griddle cover.
Before you use the griddle for the
first time:
1. The cooking surface should be
washed with warm, soapy water,
rinsed and dried. Never use a metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleaner on
the griddle; these will damage the
non-stick surface.
2. After cleaning, lightly wipe the
cooking surface with cooking oil to
prevent food from sticking. You
don't have to season (grease) the
griddle every time you use it. DO
NOT use 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. 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.
5. Turn off the griddle burner when
cooking is finished. Leaving burner
ON will damage the griddle.
