Using The Electric Griddle - Thermador PROFESSIONAL PCG304G Mode D'emploi

Using the Electric Griddle

(available on some models)
Description
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum
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 accessory for
details.
The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must
be removed before turning the griddle on.
CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time
for griddle components to cool before cleaning.
WARNING
To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate griddle without
the griddle plate installed. NEVER use griddle in a
manner that is not prescribed by the Use and Care
Guide.
The griddle plate (or grill plate accessory) must always be
in place when the griddle is turned on.
• The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC,
1,630 watts.
• The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150 – 500°F
(66 – 260°C).
• There are no fixed settings on the knob.
• Press and turn the knob clockwise to the temperature
setting.
Using the Electric Griddle
Preparing the Griddle
If the range is equipped with an electric griddle, check the
griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of
water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should
slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws
under the back of the frame. Start with one half turn
counterclockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment
should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows
into the grease tray (Figure 17).

The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy water
then rinsed with clear water prior to use.The griddle may be
used without any butter, margarine or oil. However, a very
small amount may be used to flavor foods.
DO NOT use metal utensils on the griddle surface. Care
should be taken that the surface is not gouged when
utensils are used. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle plate.
NOTICE: Griddle/Grill performance may vary if there is an
excessive amount of airflow in the vicinity of the appliance.
The excessive airflow could be from an air-conditioning
register or ceiling fan blowing at the cooktop. This could
create longer than normal heat-up time, or it could cause
the Griddle/Grill temperature to be higher or lower than the
knob setting.
NOTE: Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not
considered a source of excessive airflow.
