USER MANUAL PARKB36GY THERMADOR

12" Pro Griddle Plate Accessory INSTRUCTIONS

Description

The griddle plate accessory is designed to replace the grill grates.

A ventilating hood of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute capacity vented to the outside of the house is strongly recommended for installation above the rangetop or range. The hood must be installed according to installation instructions furnished with the hood and local building code requirements. Refer to ventilation requirements in the appliance's Installation Manual for additional information.

NOTICE: Griddle/Grill performance may vary if there is an excessive amount of airflow in the vicinity of the appliance. The excessive airflow could be from an air-conditioning register or ceiling fan blowing at the rangetop. This could create longer than normal heat-up time, or it could cause the griddle/grill temperature to be higher or lower than the knob setting.

Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not considered a source of excessive airflow.

Care and Cleaning the Griddle Plate

• NEVER flood a hot griddle plate with cold water. This can damage the griddle plate.
• DO NOT clean the griddle plate in a self-cleaning oven.
• Care should be taken to avoid scratching or gouging the surface.
• DO NOT cut food directly on the griddle plate.
  • DO NOT use metal utensils.
• Use plastic or wood utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.

- The griddle plate is dishwasher safe, however, hand washing the griddle plate is recommended.

Use the lowest cooking temperature possible. Recipes may need to be modified as the non-stick coating browns and sears at lower temperatures.

Seasoning the Griddle Plate

If the griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over time, the following instructions should help regain the griddle's non-stick properties. For optimal performance and long life of your griddle plate, follow these simple cleaning and seasoning instructions.

Prepping the Griddle for Seasoning

The griddle plate must be clean and all residue removed before the griddle plate is seasoned.

1. Use a mixture of coarse salt and a small amount of white vinegar to buff off any residue from the griddle plate.

SALSI

1. Rinse well with clean water. Dry the griddle plate thoroughly.

Griddle Seasoning

Seasoning is a process by which a layer of animal fat or vegetable oil is applied and baked into the cookware. The seasoning layer provides a non-stick surface for cooking.

1. Use a paper towel to apply a thin, even coating of lard, Crisco®, or olive oil to the griddle surface.

1. Bake the griddle plate in a 350 °F oven for 1 hour.

2. Remove the griddle plate from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Apply a second layer of fat or oil and bake at 350 °F for 1 hour.

4. Repeat process at least one additional time – making 3 coats of oil or fat.

After Seasoning

1. After cooking on your seasoned griddle, allow to cool and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to dry.

2. Add a thin coating of oil or fat before storing your griddle in a cool, dry place.

3. Repeating this process will season the griddle and maintain non-stick properties. Performance will improve over time with more seasoning.

4. To strip the griddle to re-season, a mixture of salt and vinegar should be used to remove any oil layers from the previous seasoning process.
