Turning the thermostat counter clockwise to any “on” position
activates a glo-bar igniter and opens an electromechanical valve in the
system to start the gas valve.  The griddle has a power “ON” light
which glows when the griddle thermostat is turned on.  the light cycles
on and off with the burner.  It is not possible to use both the infrared
burner and the bake burners at the same time.  The design of the
system will not permit this, both for control of bake/broiler and for
safety of use.

•Preheat griddle at the desired temperature.  Wait until light cycles off
for indication that the desired temperature has been reached and the
griddle is preheated.
•Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes,
French toast, fish and sandwiches.  This will help to reduce sticking.
Meats usually have enough natural oils.
•Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make
the cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in the food.
•Do not overheat the griddle.  Turn it off when not in use, or lower
heat between cooking loads.
•After using and cleaning the griddle, the surface should be wiped with
a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion.

•Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils that are
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the
utensil diameter.  This will ensure more even heating within the utensil
and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
•Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the utensil.
A flame that extends along the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food,
and wastes energy.
•Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform
the desired cooking process.  Remember that food cooks just as
quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil.  Maintaining a
higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture, and
causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.
