Griddle/Grill Plate Operation
•Preheat grill/griddle on Medium, then reduce heat if needed.
•It is not necessary to use fats or oils for frying or cooking. Most cooks use butter, fats, or oils for added fl avor and browning; However, this
may reduce or eliminate the advantage of cooking on a non-stick surface
•When cooking bacon and other fatty foods, there may occasionally be a need to drain excess fats from the grease well. Always turn off the
surface burners before draining fats and oils and always drain griddle away from the burners. Be sure to wipe any fats or oils from the side
or bottom before returning griddle to the surface burners.
•Use only plastic, rubber, or wooden spatulas, spoons and forks. DO NOT USE metal tools, as they may scratch or damage the non-stick
surface. Do not use sharp-edged knives.

Cleaning the Reversible Griddle/Grill
Follow these steps for cleaning a reversible grill/griddle:
•Before using the first time, wash with hot water only (no soap) to make sure it is
clean.
•Dry thoroughly.
•Season it with a light coating of vegetable oil or shortening.
•After cooking, let the griddle cool and pour off excess grease.
•Wash the griddle in hot water with a sponge or stiff brush. Do not use scrubbing
pads or steel wool.

Note: The griddle cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The optional 15,000 BTU griddle/grill is constructed of cast iron with a non-stick
surface and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well as
easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with an electronic thermostat to maintain an
even temperature across the griddle once the desired temperature has been set. The
bezel behind the knob will cycle on and off as needed to indicate the thermostat is
maintaining the selected temperature. Griddle must be placed with open edge to
front in order for the grease to drain properly.

Thawing Tips
Cast iron thaws frozen foods by transferring natural heat energy from the air to the frozen food. This
natural phenomenon thaws food without added heat. Unlike microwave defrosting, the thawed food is not partially
cooked with tough, dry edges.
To use the portable grill/griddle as a thawing tray:
1. Place clean, room temperature grill/griddle on the countertop.
2. Remove frozen food from packaging and place on grill/griddle. Flat foods work best.
3. Halfway through the thaw cycle, turn the food over.
4. Once food has thawed, remove and wash grill/griddle.
5. Cook food per instructions.
