The removable coated griddle provides an extra cooking surface. This is useful
especially when cooking meat, pancakes, or other foods requiring a large cooking
area.
In most cases, you should preheat the griddle before cooking. See the table below.

CAUTION
• Do not remove the griddle until the cooktop grates, surfaces, and griddle itself
cool down.
• If you leave the griddle on the cooktop, it may become very hot when you use
the cooktop or oven. Use oven gloves when placing or removing the griddle.
• Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage the coating of the griddle.
• Do not use metal utensils that can damage the griddle surface.
• Do not use the griddle for other purposes, for example, as a cutting board or a
storage shelf.
• Do not cook excessively greasy foods. The grease may spill over.
• The griddle is quite heavy because it is made of cast iron. Use both hands when
placing or removing the griddle.
NOTE
• You may need to adjust heat settings for the griddle over time.
• The griddle may discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use.
• Do not let rust remain on the griddle. If rust appears on the griddle, remove it as
soon as possible.
