Accessories Use & Care
Using the Pizza Stone (model# EA00APS)
1. Remove the grill grate and the heat diffuser panel when using
the pizza stone or griddle plate.
2. Before fi rst use, remove from packaging and wash pizza stone
with hot water and dry with soft cloth.
3. With the smooth side of the pizza stone facing up, position the
stone over the bowl. Make sure to line up the bottom groove with
the rim of the bowl.
4. Heat up the pizza stone with cooking lid off, heat on medium/
high with direct heat (both inner and outer rings).
5. Never use both burners on high setting when cooking with the
lid closed.
Pre-Heat the Pizza Stone and cook the ingredients
6. With the lid off, pre-heat the stone with direct heat (both inner
and outer burners) on medium/high. Keeping the lid off will help
distribute the heat most evenly throughout the stone. Pre-heat
for 10-20 minutes.
7. While the stone is heating begin to prepare the ingredients.
Note: Only cooked meat should go on the pizza. Any raw meat
should not be placed on the pizza because it will not have the
proper time to cook.
Cooking the Pizza
8. After fully heating the stone for 10-20 minutes, turn burner to
indirect heat setting (outer ring only).
9. Slide raw pizza onto the stone, cover with lid and leave all lid
vents open.
10. A pizza will cook approx every 8-15 minutes, depending on
the size and thickness of the pizza.
11. Cooking Tip: When cooking for the fi rst time, check the pizza
frequently. When the cheese on the surface is thoroughly melted
and the pizza bottom starts to turn brown, it is ready to serve.
BE CAREFUL, the stone will be extremely HOT. It is recommend-
ed to use a pizza peel for transferring the pizza to and from the
stone and plenty of cornmeal or fl our so the dough doesn’t stick.
12. The pizza stone is made of cordierite. The material is able to
retain a wide range of temperatures for baking breads and cakes.
The material’s porous surface pulls moisture away from the bread
while baking, making the bread light and crispy underneath.
Cleaning
13. Allow the stone to cool down completely before removing
from the grill. Clean with a cloth or scourer with hot water. Soap
detergent may be used but do not soak in soapy water. Dry with
a soft cloth.
14. It is normal to have baked-on food stains that may discolor
the stone over time. This will not affect the performance or hy-
giene of the stone if is cleaned properly after each use.
Using the Griddle Flat Plate (model# EA00AGP)
1. Remove grill grate and heat diffuser panel when using the
griddle plate or pizza stone.
2. Heat up the griddle plate with cooking lid off, heat on medi-
um/high with direct heat (both inner and outer rings).
3. Once the plate is thoroughly heated (approx. 10-20 minutes),
use with indirect heat (outer burner ring only), and cook with or
without the lid.
4. Never use both burners on high setting when cooking with the
lid closed.
Seasoning the Griddle
It is recommended to season your cast iron griddle plate before
you begin cooking. A well-seasoned griddle will resist rust and
create a virtually nonstick surface for cooking.
5. Once the griddle is on the grill, brush vegetable oil lightly over
the cast iron surface.
6. Heat the griddle to approximately 250 degrees on low with-
out the lid using direct heat (both burner rings) for approx. 20
minutes.
7. Use a tool to wipe the griddle well with a paper towel. BE
