Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the griddle. (on some models) Your nonstick coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet. NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use. How to Insert the Griddle CAUTION: Place and remove the griddle only when all grates and griddle are cool and all surface units are turned OFF. The griddle can only be used with the center burner. To insert the griddle, remove the center grate and replace with the griddle. Using the Griddle Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface.
