Before You Cook
Your griddle surface has a special rust resistant finish
applied to the metal surface and has been pre-seasoned
with a food-grade oil to provide rust protection. Therefore,
initial seasoning is not required but if you choose to add
another layer of seasoning to your griddle, please see
seasoning instructions below.
For continued griddle maintenance you should continue
to scrape and season your griddle every 2 to 3 cooking
sessions to keep your griddle in good condition. For more

Tools Needed: Tongs, lint-free paper towels or cotton cloth,
neutral cooking oil.

seasining to your griddle. Please see seasoning instructions
below.

m WARNING: Do not operate the grill with the hard
cover closed. The hard cover is to be used for storage
purposes only to protect the griddle.

high temperature setting (C). The surface will begin to
smoke and darken (approximately 10 minutes). If any oil
begins to bead on the surface, use grill mitts and tongs
to wipe the excess oil from the griddle (D).
NOTE: By the end of the seasoning process, a well-
seasoned griddle will be dark from edge to edge.
6. The surface will darken and begin to smoke. When the
surface stops smoking (additional 20 minutes), turn o
the grill.

30 minutes.
