Notice
•The Thermador griddle is for use on the center grate only.
• Never use two griddles at the same time, as this will adversely affect the cooktop.
•Never preheat an empty griddle using a high ame.
• Do not overheat the griddle, as the Excalibur® coating may be damaged.
First Time Use and How to Position
• Before using the griddle for the rst time, wash with dish detergent, rinse and dry.
• Use medium to low heat settings.
• Align the feet of the griddle with the grate as shown in the drawing above.
• Place the pour spout and grease well of the griddle towards the front of the cooktop.
Tips for Using
•
Do not cut food or use other sharp or metal utensils on the griddle.
• Nonstick food sprays are not recommended. They burn at low temperatures, leaving a surface residue that may affect the
performance.
• The griddle and handles get very hot during use. Always use hot pads.
• It is normal for the griddle to cook food, such as pancakes, somewhat faster with consecutive batches.
Griddle Cooking Chart
• Preheat on medium low and
medium ame settings.
• Preheat using lower ame settings
to start. It is easier to increase heat
than to quickly cool the griddle
once it is too hot.
• Length of preheat time depends
on ame setting and food.
Allowing 3 to 5 minutes is
average.
• Never preheat griddle on high
as this will overheat the griddle
causing food to burn.
• After use, let it cool down before
handling.
Care and Cleaning
• Allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
• Never put a hot griddle in cool water.
• Wash the griddle in hot water with dish detergent. Rinse with
hot water and dry.
NOTE: If food residue is not removed after each use and
reheated, the nonstick performance will be affected.
Loosen hard-to-remove soils with a soft non-scratch sponge.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
• Remove white lm by rubbing vinegar on the area.
• Pour drippings away from you using the pour spout corner
of the griddle.
• Do not wash in the dishwasher.
• Refer to your cooktop Use and Care Guide for general
cleaning tips.
