3. Setup and Installation

1. Preparation: Ensure your grill is cool and turned off before installation. Remove any existing grill grates from the desired section of your Weber Genesis II grill.

3. Multiple Griddles (Optional): For larger cooking surfaces, two 7599 griddles can be installed side-by-side, replacing two grill grates.

The griddle is ready for use once properly seated.

4. Operating Instructions

Before first use, it is recommended to season the cast iron griddle. Refer to general cast iron seasoning guidelines for best results. This typically involves applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating the griddle.

• Preheating: Turn on your grill and allow the griddle to preheat to the desired cooking temperature. Cast iron retains heat effectively, providing an even cooking surface.
• Cooking: Use the griddle for cooking a variety of foods such as eggs, pancakes, bacon, vegetables, or searing meats.
• Oil Drain Hole: The griddle features an integrated oil drain hole. During cooking, excess oil and moisture can be directed towards this hole for easier management and cleaner cooking. Use a heat-resistant brush or scraper to guide liquids if necessary.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care of your cast iron griddle will ensure its longevity and performance.

• Cleaning After Use: Allow the griddle to cool down sufficiently before cleaning. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasives or metal scouring pads that can damage the seasoning.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry the griddle immediately after washing to prevent rust. You can place it back on a warm grill for a few minutes to ensure complete drying.
• Re-seasoning: Periodically re-season the griddle, especially if food starts to stick or if rust spots appear. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat until it smokes, then let it cool.
• Storage: Store the griddle in a dry place.

Important: The cast iron griddle is NOT dishwasher safe.

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: If food consistently sticks, the griddle may need re-seasoning. Ensure it is properly seasoned before each use and that sufficient cooking oil or fat is used.
• Uneven Heating: Verify that your grill's burners are functioning correctly and providing even heat. Cast iron generally distributes heat well, but external factors can affect it.
• Rust Spots: Rust indicates improper drying or storage. Clean the rust with a stiff brush, then wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the griddle immediately.
• Griddle Does Not Fit: Double-check the compatibility section (Section 2) to ensure your grill model is listed. Measure your grill's grate area to confirm dimensions match the griddle specifications.
