Page. 1 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.
