Cleaning the Griddle - Range

Possible Solution

Do not use nonstick cooking sprays to avoid damaging the griddle’s nonstick finish. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove. The grill provides a large surface for cooking meats, pancakes, sandwiches, etc. The drip tray can be located toward the front of the cooktop.

Griddle Cleaning Method:

Cleaning directions will vary by model number; refer to the Owner's Manual for specific information.

For stuck-on food, use a mild scrubbing sponge or brush with mild soap to remove it and rinse with water. Dry the remaining water to reduce the chance of rusting.

 

Using the Griddle

  1. Place the griddle over the center burner on the grates. The locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
  2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.
  3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
  4. Set the center burner to the medium setting for the best performance for cooking. NOTE: It is recommended to use the griddle on the center burner only
