The Griddle Plate
The griddle plate fits the left-hand pan support, front to
back (
). It is designed for cooking food on directly.
DO NOT use pans of any kind on it. The griddle plate surface
is non-stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden
utensils.
n
DO NOT put it crossways – it will not fit properly and
will be unstable (Fig. 2.12).
n
DO NOT put it on any other burner – it is not
designed to fit in any of the other pan supports.
Position the griddle plate over the hotplate burners resting
on the pan support. Check that it is securely located.
The griddle plate can be lightly brushed with cooking oil
before use or alternatively brush oil onto the food to be
cooked (
). Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the
flame heights to suit.
Preheat the griddle plate for a
maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage.
Turn the control knobs towards the low position, marked with
the small flame symbol, to reduce the burner flames.
n
Always leave space around the griddle plate for the
gases to escape.
n
NEVER fit two griddle plates side by side (Fig. 2.14).
After cooking, allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.
