To prevent steaks or chops from curling while they are being cooked, slit the fat around the edges at about 2. intervals. To test for doneness, make a small cut in the center of the meat. • The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak should be at least 1. thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size and shape of the cut and the kind of meat you are cooking. The degree of doneness desired also affects the time. • The U. S. Department of Agriculture says, “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.) Before using the griddle (on some models) Remove the cover before turning the griddle on. The griddle is made from Type 304 stainless steel and highly polished to provide a smooth cooking surface. It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook onto the surface to provide a stick-resistant base or “seasoning.” The griddle is thermostatically controlled and cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature. A light will glow to indicate the griddle is on. The griddle assembly should not be removed for cleaning. Once the unit is in position, the rear center shipping screw can be removed. It is located beneath the griddle flue cover. Remove the flue cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not to scratch the backguard during removal of the flue cover. The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not remove these two screws. They can be turned to level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to help grease and oils to drain away from the food being cooked. After using the griddle a few times you will be able to judge the slope best for the foods you are cooking and your personal preference. When replacing the griddle flue cover, ensure that the cover slips to the outside of the front and back metal flanges of the fixed griddle assembly. This will ensure a tight fit of the flue cover. Shipping screw Leveling screws Griddle flue cover Remove the center shipping screw. Leave the two outer leveling screws in place. Using Your Cooktop Stainless Steel Cooktop Seasoning the griddle Before using the griddle for the first time, it must be seasoned. If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be reseasoned. To season the griddle: 1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating. 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 can get sticky. Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth. 4 Turn the control knob to a medium setting (350°F). Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the griddle to cool. 5 Repeat step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil. 6 Repeat step 4. Allow the griddle to 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. Using the griddle Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Select the cooking temperature and preheat for 15 minutes. NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned, it can be used without any additional shortening. However, shortening can be used for flavor. NOTE: The griddle will take approximately 45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface burners, which use electric igniters, the griddle uses a glow bar for ignition. It takes approximately 45 seconds for the glow bar to reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the griddle once the glow bar reaches temperature. Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooktop Control panel and knobs Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Stainless steel Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®. For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain. After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product ...
