Page 18 Section Four: Using the Griddle'n Grill GRIDDLE`N GRILL OPERATION GRIDDLE'n GRILLTM (Model SGS) GRIDDLE ONLY (Model SGN) Your new Thermador Griddle'n Grill is a dual purpose electric appliance; a griddle and a grill. The griddle and the grill are used separately and must sit directly on the element for best cooking results. If the griddle or the grill does not sit on the element, it will not heat enough for foods to cook properly. The Griddle'n Grill control has an infinite number of heat settings. To turn the element ON, push in on the control knob and turn it in either direction to the desired setting. When ON, this element cycles a percentage of HI power on and off to maintain the selected heat setting. On HI it does not cycle. BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE or THE GRILL Wash the griddle and the grill with hot sudsy water, then rinse thoroughly with clear hot water and dried. This should remove any manufacturing oils which may still be on the surface. A small amount of oil or butter applied after preheating helps to prevent sticking.
