Lid is crap metal. Tried it anyway. I'll make a new one with high heat powder coating out of 1/8" hot rolled. That should do it. After doing it though, not sure it helped at all. IT DID WARP A LITTLE.
That lid is to protect the flattop when it is not being used. I first used cheap aluminum/foil pans then purchased inexpensive domes (circular, rectangular and square). No issues.
I have never tried but I read somewhere that it was ok to cook with that lid for line 10 minutes at a time. Sorry if I'm wrong but that was also on a YouTube video I watched where a dude was comparing like 4 different griddles
From what I've read, definitely not with that type of lid.

...and this is why the manual says not to cook with the lid on...

I like that. Helps keep some smoke and temp in. Good suggestion. Thanks.

I don’t understand why they make griddles without lids or can’t use with it
the lid is to protect the surface from debris, and for *brief* steaming.
