EASONING
The griddle is non-rusting stainless steel and
should be seasoned before the first use and
occasionally thereafter, if not used for an
extended period of time. Follow the direc-
tions below:
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot,
soapy water.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water
and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the
center of the griddle (do not use corn oil
as it gets sticky) and rub over the entire
surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4. Turn the control knob to 350°F. When
smoke appears, turn the control off and
allow the griddle to cool.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. After the griddle is cool, wipe the entire
surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil.
The griddle is now ready to use.
When properly seasoned, the griddle can be
used without additional oil. However, a light
mist of vegetable spray applied to a cool
griddle before cooking, makes delicate foods
easier to turn.
