IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS!
Follow installation instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or defects arising from improper installation. Never leave the griddle unattended when in use.
Do not use two griddles side by side.
Do not place the griddle on the grates. Always remove the grates first. Do not install a griddle over the Infrared Hybrid Burner.
Keep the area surrounding the griddle free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline, charcoal or lighter fluid.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the griddle is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the griddle. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Clean the griddle with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the griddle while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
INSTALLING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle may be installed over any of the burners on the grill.
To Fit
1Ensure all the burner knobs are in the “OFF” position, and that the grates are cold.
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.
2Select the burner you wish to use. Remove two adjacent grates from above the burner.
To remove griddle

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.
1Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2Rinse with a mixture of 4 cups of water and ¼ cup of white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3Pour 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.
4Place 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.
5Repeat step three (be sure to cover the entire surface with oil) and step four.
6Once 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
1Light 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.
2Leave the knob on “SEAR” lower the lid for 5-10 minutes to allow the Griddle to pre-heat.
3Place the food on the griddle. Adjust the dial between SEAR and LOW to cook the food to the desired doneness.
4When you have cooked the food turn the dial to “OFF”.
5Allow 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.
