Using the Electric Griddle
Description
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum
that has a non-stick titanium coating. This produces a
surface with even heat that is easy to clean.
A maple cutting board (PA12CHPBLK), stainless steel
cover (PA12CVRJ), and coated-aluminum grill plate
(PA12GRILHC) are available as accessories and are
purchased separately. The maple cutting board and
stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface
when the griddle is not being used. The titanium-coated
aluminum grill plate accessory is designed to replace the
griddle plate. See the instructions that come with the grill
plate accessory for more details.
The maple cutting board and stainless steel cover must be
removed before turning the griddle on.
•
The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150 – 500°F
(66 – 260°C).
•
There are no fixed settings on the knob.
•
Press and turn the knob clockwise to the temperature
setting.
•
The griddle plate (or grill plate accessory) must always
be in place when the griddle is turned on.

The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC,
1,630 watts.
CAUTION:
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time
for griddle components to cool before cleaning.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate griddle without
the griddle plate installed. NEVER use griddle in a
manner that is not prescribed by the Use and Care
Guide.

Preparing the Griddle
If the rangetop is equipped with an electric griddle, check
the griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of
water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should
slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws
under the back of the frame. Start with one half turn
counterclockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment
should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows
into the grease tray (Figure 18).

The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy water
then rinsed with clear water prior to use. The griddle may
be used without any butter, margarine or oil. However, a
very small amount may be used to flavor foods.
Any utensil may be used on the griddle surface. Care
should be taken that the surface is not gouged when
utensils are used. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle plate.
