A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two
oval burners at the front of the hob or the two
medium burners at the rear.
The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is
covered with a special nonstick finish. To protect the
non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils
as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat
resistant plastic utensils may be used. Do not use
saucepans on the griddle plate.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE
GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY OTHER
HOTPLATE BURNERS.
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
The griddle may be used with either or both of the
burners on, depending on the food being cooked.
1. Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners,
making sure that the support feet are located
correctly on the pan support fingers.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob(s) of the burners anticlockwise to
the large flame symbol. Continue to press the
ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat
the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.
3. Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However
when cooking drier foods eg. drop scones the
griddle plate can be lightly greased.
4. The controls can be left at high for the sealing of
foods or turned down to a lower heat setting
depending on what food is being cooked. NB. A
gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of
griddling. Once the griddle plate is up to tempera-
ture it maintains the cooking temperature on a
medium/low setting.
5. Cook the food for the required time, which will
depend on the type of food being cooked.
6. To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s)
fully clockwise to the O position.
7. Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.
