Care & Seasoning of the Griddle

Before

first use:

• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for

hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before remov

ing.

• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If

desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

After

each use:

•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

• Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before

storing.

Using the Griddle:

• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over

the Bridge Burner. For location refer to Figure 1.

• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow

preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.

• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the

griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
