GRIDDLE-SEASONING
It is recommended before your first use to season your griddle.
- Wipe griddle top of all debris.
- Ignite grill and set temperature to 250F (121C). Run for approximately 10–15 minutes until your griddle top becomes hot.
- Pour a light amount of cooking oil on griddle top.
- Spread the cooking oil over surface of griddle top using paper towels. Use spatula or heat resistant gloves to hold folded paper towels. Be sure to cover every part of griddle top.
- Allow griddle to heat to 400F (204C). Smoking will occur as the oil begins to bond with the surface of griddle.
- After smoke dissipates. Repeat steps 3–5 at 350F (177C)
Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above. Store your griddle in a clean dry location.
GRIDDLE-TIPS
- Your Gravity Series™ controller temperature display will read about 100F (38C) hotter than your griddle surface temperature.
- For best results allow your griddle to fully preheat with the lid closed. Note, it may take your griddle 15-20mins to preheat to the desired temperature.
- For best results, we recommend cooking with your lid closed as much as possible. This will allow your griddle to achieve optimum griddle temperatures.
- We recommend removing your heat deflectors from your Gravity Series™ 1050 if you are not using your griddle. If you leave your heat deflectors in your Gravity Series™ 1050 without the griddle, you will notice a hot spot in the center of your cooking grates. For optimum results, only use the heat deflectors when the griddle is installed.
- We recommend using a small disposable foil grease cup to catch any drippings or food from your griddle. This will improve the cleanup process. Place your disposable grease cup under the grease drain hole of the griddle. Do this before you ignite your grill.

- Never soak your 1050 Griddle in water.
