Surface Cooking Tips
oUse low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensilsthatare
poor conductors of heat,such as glass,ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the flame height untilitcovers approximately I/3 ofthe
utensildiameter_ This willensure more even heating withinthe utensil
and reduce the likelihoodof burning or scorching the food.
*Reduce the flame ifitisextending beyond the bottom of the utensik
A flame that extends along the sides of the utensilispotentially
dangerous, heats the utensilhandle and kitchen insteadof the food,
and wastes energy.
*Reduce the flame height to the minimum levelnecessary to perform
the desired cooking process. Remember thatfood cooks justas
quicklyat a gentle boilas itdoes at a rollingboik Maintaining a
higher boilthat isnecessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture,and
causes a lossin food flavorand nutrientlevek

Griddle/Simmer Plate
Turning the thermostat counter clockwise to any "on" position
activates a glo-bar igniter and opens an electromechanical valve in the
system to start the gas valve. The griddle has a power "ON" light
which glows when the griddle thermostat is turned on. The light cycles
on and off with the burner.
Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation
*Turn the griddle control knob to desired temperature setting. Wait
until light cycles off for indication that the desired temperature has
been reached.
*Always turn off when not in use, or lower the heat between cooking
loads.
Cooking Tips
*Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes,
French toast, fish and sandwiches. This will help to reduce sticking.
Meats usually have enough natural oils.
*Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make
the cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in the food.
*Do not overheat the griddle. Turn it off when not in use, or lower
heat between cooking loads.
*After using and cleaning the griddle, the surface should be wiped with
a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion.
