GRIDDLE ACCESSORY (continued) Questions and Answers Q. Can my griddle be switched to the other side of the cooktop where it would be more convenient for me? A. Your interchangeable cooktop modules can be used on either the right or left side of the cooktop (on some models). When inserting or removing a module, take care not to force the connection or exert undue pressure which could damage the electrical contacts. Q. Can prolonged periods of high heat damage my griddle's surface? A. A brief preheating period is often necessary for best results with many foods, but leaving the griddle on HI heat setting for more than 5 minutes without food can damage the non-stick coating. Always be sure to turn control knobs to OFF when cooking is completed. Q. Why aren't my foods done even though they have cooked the frill time? A. Preheat the griddle for a longer time and leave foods on the griddle longer to attain the desired degree of browning. Q. Do I need special cookware for use with my griddle? A. Avoid using metal cookware with sharp points or rough or sharp edges which might damage the nonstick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle. Use only heat-resistant dishes when foods in containers are to be warmed on the griddle. For further information on caring for your griddle's surface, see the Care and Cleaning section. Q. How should 1 store my griddle when it is not in use? A. To avoid marring the non-stick finish, store the griddle upright on the edge with the terminals up to avoid damage. If it is necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans or cookware on top. Q. How long can foods be kept warm with the griddle without losing their appeal? A. No longer than 2 hours is recommended, to assure good food quality and prevent spoilage. Delicate foods, such as eggs, should not be kept more than 15 to 30 minutes; entrees and casseroles may be warmed for 30 to 60 minutes. Hors d'oeuvres will stay hot for serving up to 1 or 1½ hours. Rearrange or stir food occasionally, if possible. GRIDDLE COOKING GUIDE Do not leave cooktop unattended during "preheat" (knobs turned to HI) or any time the knobs are tnrned to HI with food on the griddle. Suggested cooking times should be used only as a guide since variables in food may change cooking time. Cooking times may be slightly longer when using the downdraft vent system.
