Using The Griddle - Kenmore PRO 790.33693 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Surface Cookware Recommendations
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have fl at bottoms that make good contact
with the cooktop grate. Check for fl atness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Be
sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not made to
be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
CORRECT
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fi tting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure
cookers may be used but must conform to the above
recommended cookware requirements.
Figure 1
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bot-
toms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more
than 2.5 cm (1").
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond unit.

Cookware Material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface unit to the pan bottom.
The most popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor.

Using the Griddle

Before fi rst use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water.
Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to
the entire surface (front and back of
griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the
griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then
turn oven OFF and let cool before
removing.
• The surface may appear to have a
tacky feel to it from this seasoning
process. If desired, wash the griddle in
hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
• To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil
to griddle before storing.
Using the Griddle:
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side
gas burners.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium
low setting.
Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the
cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on
HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
Always place the griddle on the grate before
turning on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the griddle
from the grate. Allow the griddle to cool before removing. Do not
set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such
as countertops.
Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly and is
stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
