position, lift the handle and cover to return it to
the closed position.
If the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
is already in
the open position and you wish to adjust it to the
flat position, pull the handle slightly toward you
and then lift and hold the hinge release lever. Push
the handle back until the handle rests on the
countertop. Pulling the handle forward slightly
before lifting the
hinge release lever
will take some of the
pressure off of the
hinge, and you will
be able to adjust the
Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
more
easily.
Smoke-less Mode
To cook in Smoke-less mode, there are two
actions that need to be performed to the unit,
depending upon what position you are cooking in
this mode:
1. Create the lower plate / base angle
by pulling out the front foot extension
2. Create upper plate / cover angle
by adjusting the hinge
Flat Position/Full Smoke-less — Upper plate/
cover and lower plate/base are both angled
inward, creating a “V” shape. The upper and lower
plates create one large cooking surface. The
Griddler is in this position when it is used as a
Full Grill, Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half Griddle.
To adjust the Griddler to this position, locate the
foot extension on the front underside of the base
and fold out toward you, creating the base angle.
Next, locate the hinge release lever on the right
arm. With your left hand on the handle, use your
right hand to lift and hold the hinge release lever.
Push the handle back, until the cover is slightly
beyond the open position. Release the lever and
continue to push handle
back until it comes into the next locked position.
The handle will be slightly above the countertop,
creating the upper plate angle.
NOTE: In the flat/full smoke-less position, you
may select to use smoke-less mode for either the
upper plate only, lower plate only, or both.
Closed Smoke-less Position — For smoke-less
grilling in the closed position, you will need to
angle the lower plate/base. To adjust the Griddler
to this position, locate the foot extension on the
front underside of the base and fold out toward
you, creating the base angle.
Open Smoke-less Position — Upper plate/cover
is open slightly beyond a 90-degree angle. Open
the cover to this position before using the Griddler
as a Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the
Griddler for smoke-less cooking in the open
position, locate the foot extension on the front
underside of the base and fold out toward you,
creating the base angle.
To insert cooking plates
Adjust the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
to the
flat position with the control panel directly in front
of you. Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is
designed to fit in either the upper housing or the
lower housing of the Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
.
If you are facing the Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
, the drip spout should be at the rear of
the plate. Locate the metal brackets at the center
of the housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and
line up the cutouts at the back of the plate with
the metal brackets. Slide the plate underneath the
brackets
and push down the front end of the plate. It will
snap into place. Turn the Smoke-less Contact
Griddler
®
around and insert the second plate on
either its grill or griddle side into the upper
housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates
Once the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
®
has
cooled, adjust to flat position. Locate the plate
release button on one side of the unit. Press firmly
on button and the plate will pop up slightly from
the base. Grasp the
plate with two hands,
slide it out from
under the metal
brackets, and lift it
out of the base.
Press on the other
plate release button
to remove the other
cooking plate in the
same manner.
To position drip tray
One side of the base has a slot provided for the
drip tray. Slide the drip tray into the base
according to the instructions on the tray.
Grease from the food will run off the plates
through the drip spout and into the drip tray.
Slowly remove the drip tray. Grease should be
safely disposed
of after the
Smoke-less
Contact Griddler
®
has cooled down
completely. The
drip tray can be
cleaned in the
dishwasher.
