Cooking times will vary depending on quality or quantity of food. NOTE • Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods, as grease spills can occur. • The griddle can become hot when surrounding burners are in use. • Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage the enamel coating. • Do not cut foods on the griddle. • Do not place or store items on the griddle. • Do not clean the griddle in the dishwasher or in a self-clean oven cycle. How to Season the Griddle As with cast-iron cookware, the griddle will acquire more non-stick properties with use. To shorten this process, you can season the griddle following these steps. 1 Apply a light, even coat of vegetable oil across the entire surface of the griddle, making sure the oil does not pool or puddle. 2 Place the griddle in an oven on the middle rack. Set the oven to 550 ℉ and bake for one hour. 3 Turn off the oven and allow the griddle to cool completely in the oven before removing it. 4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 two more times, for a total of three seasoning cycles. How to Clean the Griddle • Clean the griddle by hand. • Do not clean the griddle using a dishwasher or an oven self-clean cycle. • To avoid damaging the surface, do not leave the griddle to soak in water. 1 For normal cleaning, wipe the griddle off with a damp cloth or paper towels. A mild soap can be used, but you may have to re-season the griddle afterwards. 2 To clean off burned on residue, use a nylon bristle brush or non-scratch scrubbing pad. Do not use abrasive cleaners or detergents, as they can damage the surface of the griddle. 3 Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. 4 Store in a cool, dry place.
