How to place the griddle:
IMPORTANT: Always place and use your griddle
at the designated location on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Clean the griddle with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. DO NOT use blue or
green scrubbing pads or steel wool.
■ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be
careful of grease spillover while cooking.
■ Never place or store any items on the griddle,
even when it is not in use. The griddle can
become heated when using the surrounding
surface units.
■ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points
or rough edges, which might damage the
griddle. Do not cut foods on the griddle.
■ Do not use cookware as a storage container
for food or oil. Permanent staining and/or
craze lines could result.
NOTE: The nonstick coating will degrade when
exposed to temperatures over 500°F. Use
only with the griddle control and only at the
designated location on the cooktop. Do not use
the griddle to broil food in the oven. Do not clean
the griddle using the self-clean mode in the oven.
The griddle control prevents overheating the
nonstick coating. At temperatures over 660°F,
the nonstick properties permanently degrade
and may produce fumes harmful to birds.
NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time with
use.
NOTE: Do not clean the griddle in the self­
cleaning oven.
NOTE: Always allow the cookware to cool
before immersing in water.
