INSTALLING THE GRIDDLE

The griddle may be installed over any of the burners on the grill.

To Fit

1 Ensure all the burner knobs are in the "OFF" position, and that the grates are cold.

2 Select the burner you wish to use. Remove two adjacent grates from above the burner.

3 Lower the griddle into position, fitting either the upper or lower rear hooks over the grate support. Use the upper hooks for a flatter griddle or the lower hooks to increase the angle of the griddle.

4 Lower the front of griddle onto the edge of the grease channel.

To remove griddle

Important!

Only remove the griddle when it has completely cooled.

1 Lift front edge of griddle and lift the rear hooks clear of the grate support.

2 Grip both sides and carefully lift out.

USING THE GRIDDLE

Note:

When cooking foods with a high fat content, position the griddle on the lower hooks. This increases the angle of the griddle and will help the drain the grease away.

Season the griddle

Before using the griddle we recommend that you season it.

1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2 Rinse with a mixture of 4 cups of water and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3 Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the center of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4 Place the griddle on the grill rack. Lite the burner and turn the control knob to a medium setting. Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow griddle to cool,
5 Repeat step three (be sure to cover the entire surface with oil) and step four.
6 Once the griddle has cooled again, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use.

If the griddle will not be used for a period of time, reseason it to avoid rusting.

To cook using the Griddle

1 Light the burner:
Push in and turn the selected burner knob to "SEAR". Release the knob when the burner lights. If the burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds, turn the knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
2 Leave the knob on "SEAR" lower the lid for 5-10 minutes to allow the Griddle to pre-heat.
3 Place the food on the griddle. Adjust the dial between SEAR and LOW to cook the food to the desired doneness.
4 When you have cooked the food turn the dial to "OFF".
5 Allow the grill to cool, and clean the griddle and grease tray after every use.

CARE AND CLEANING

Griddle

Turn the burner to "SEAR" for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill "OFF", use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any remaining food particles or ash. Alternatively you may clean by taking about 1 foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled griddle to release food particles.
