Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the griddle is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the griddle for
the first time.
The griddle is made of quality cast iron
and has a non stick cooking surface.
The griddle should be seasoned before
it is used for the first time.
The griddle is fixed to the hotplate and
is not removable.
Seasoning
Wipe the surface and season (by
rubbing sparingly
with a minimum
amount of cooking oil) then heat on
full rate for 3 minutes. Regular
seasoning will prolong the life of the
griddle and prevent rusting. If the
griddle shows signs of rust, wipe clean
and re-season.
Using the griddle
Before cooking on the griddle, preheat
it for 10 minutes on full rate.
After preheating, turn the control knob
to the desired setting. The griddle is
now ready for cooking.
The griddle should not be used on the
full-on rate for the duration of cooking.
Vary the setting between high-medium-
low, depending on the type and
quantity of food to be cooked.
The red neon indicator will come on
when the griddle is switched on.
Do not use metal implements as they
may damage the non stick surface.
Please refer to the cooking guide for
more information on using the griddle.
Refer to cleaning section for full
cleaning instructions.
After cooking:
Before cleaning, remove any surface
debris. Scrape the surface of the
griddle while it is still warm (but not
hot) - use a heat resistant plastic /
wooden scraper. Take care to avoid
hand contact with any hot surfaces.
Do not use metal implements.
Allow the griddle to cool
completely before attempting
to clean with hot soapy water.
Once the griddle has cooled, remove
any excess fat with kitchen paper, and
clean - follow the instructions given in
the ‘Cleaning’ section.
After cleaning, dry the griddle
thoroughly
then re-season the surface
by wiping sparingly with a minimum
amount of oil.
