Operation
Before You Cook
Season the Cooking Surface
This process takes time, so give yourself a few hours to
complete it before you cook.
Tools Needed: Tongs, lint-free paper towels or cotton
cloth, neutral cooking oil.
Before your first cook, you will need to season your
Griddle. Seasoning creates a stick-resistant, protective
coating so you can make delicious eggs, pancakes,
burgers, and fajitas for years to come. A seasoned
griddle is darkened in appearance from edge to edge. To
achieve this, season your griddle at least 3 times before
use. Here's how:
1. Remove the protective hard cover.
m WARNING: Do not operate the grill with the hard
cover closed. The hard cover is to be used for
storage purposes only to protect the griddle.
2. The griddle has been coated with a food-grade oil for
protection. This oil is not to be used for seasoning.
CAUTION: Do not burn o the oil.
3. With the griddle in place on the grill, handwash the
griddle, rinse, and thoroughly dry.
NOTE: The griddle must be COMPLETELY dry before
continuing the seasoning process.
NOTE: This will be the ONLY TIME you use soapy water
on your griddle.
4. Pour ¼ cup of a neutral oil (i.e. canola oil, vegetable
oil, grapeseed oil) into a bowl.
5. Dip a paper towel or cotton cloth into the bowl (A),
squeezing o the excess oil. Wipe the griddle from
side to side, top to bottom as evenly as possible (B).
Be sure to get the interior and exterior sides of the
griddle as well. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean
paper towel or cotton cloth if necessary.
6. Light all of the burners and preheat your griddle
on the high temperature setting (C). The surface
will begin to smoke and darken (approximately 10
minutes). If any oil begins to bead on the surface,
use grill mitts and tongs to wipe the excess oil from
the griddle (D).
NOTE: By the end of the seasoning process, a well-
seasoned griddle will be dark from edge to edge.
7. The surface will darken and begin to smoke. When
the surface stops smoking (additional 20 minutes),
turn o the grill.
m IMPORTANT: Allow the griddle to cool completely,
approx. 30 minutes.
8. The griddle now has 1 coat of seasoning. Repeat
steps 4-7, two more times in order to build the
seasoning.

SYMPTOM
Griddle surface is not uniformly black after seasoning
CAUSE SOLUTION
The edges are not under direct heat, which makes it take longer
for seasoning to darken like the rest of the griddle top.
Apply a thin layer of oil after each cook to protect
and maintain the griddle surface. Over time the
seasoning will even out.
