About the Griddle

Description
(Available on some models)
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum
that is coated with a non-stick coating. This produces a
surface with even heat that is easy to clean. A maple
chopping block, stainless steel cover, and coated-
aluminum grill plate are available as accessories and are
purchased separately. The maple chopping block and
stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface
when the griddle is not being used. The coated-aluminum grill plate accessory is designed to replace the griddle
plate. See the instructions that come with the grill plate
accessory for more details.
The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must
be removed before turning the griddle on.

1,600 watts.
CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow
sufficient time for griddle components to cool
before cleaning.
