ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Place Griddler on a clean flat surface where you
intend to cook.
The Griddler can be positioned in three ways:
Closed Position –
Upper plate/cover
rests flat on lower
plate/base. This is
your starting and
heating position
when using the
Contact Grill or
Panini Press functions.
Open Position –
Upper plate/cover
is open and in the
100° position. Open
the cover to this
position before
using the Griddler
as a Contact Grill
or Panini Press.
To adjust the
Griddler
to this position, simply lift the handle
until you feel it come to a locking position. The
unit will stay in this position until you close the
cover or continue to open it to the Flat Position.
The cover will stay in the upright position until
you lower the handle for cooking. When this is
done, the cover will release itself so that it lies
flat on the top of the food you are preparing.
This allows you to cook your food evenly from
both top and bottom. When you lift the handle
to open the Griddler after cooking the cover will
remain in the flat position, parallel with the lower
plate. In order to lock the cover back into the
upright position, you must close the Griddler,
without any food in place, and open it again.
Flat Position – Upper plate/cover is level with
lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates
line up to create one large cooking surface.
The Griddler is in this position when it is used
as an Open Grill or Griddle.
To adjust the Griddler to this position, locate the
hinge release lever on the right arm.
With your left hand on the handle, use your
right hand to slide the lever toward you. Push
the handle back until the cover rests flat on the
counter. The unit will stay in this position until
you lift the handle and cover to return it to the
closed position.
If the 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 the
hinge release lever. Push the handle back until
the cover rests in the flat position. Pulling the
handle forward slightly before lifting the hinge
release switch will take some of the pressure off
of the hinge and you will be able to adjust the
Griddler more easily.
To insert cooking plates:
Adjust the Griddler to the Flat Position
(see above) with the controls 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 Griddler. The word “lower”
or “upper” is embossed into each grill or griddle
plate to let you know where to attach the plate.
Pick up the lower grill/griddle plate with the cut-
outs for the heating element facing down.
If you are facing the
Griddler the drip
spout should be at
the forward right-
hand corner 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 Griddler around and
insert the matching grill or griddle plate into the
upper housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler to
Flat Position (see
above). Locate the
plate release but-
tons 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.
