The griddle is electronically controlled with a temperature range of 120°F - MAX (approx. 500°F) [49
- 260°C]. Push and turn RIGHT (clockwise) to select the desired temperature for the food you are
cooking.
To avoid injury DO NOT operate the griddle without the griddle plate and grease tray in place.
Remove the cover before use.
CAUTION
The griddle is very hot after use. Allow sufficient time to cool down before cleaning.
DO NOT use metal utensils (pots, pans, etc.) on the griddle plate surface. Be careful not to gouge or
cause deep scratches in the griddle plate surface. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle plate.
FIRST TIME OPERATION FIRST TIME OPERATION
Before using your griddle for the first time, the griddle plate and the grease tray should be cleaned
with warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinsed and dried. When you first heat the plate, a little
smoke and some odor may be present as any remaining manufacturing oils are burned off. The
stainless-steel plate will discolor from a straw color, to a very dark brown or black, depending on
what foods you cook on the surface.
