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 to add or
remove food from
the Griddler
™
when
using the Contact
Grill or Panini
Press functions.
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.
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, simply lift
the handle to the open position. With your left
hand on the handle,
use your right hand to
lift up the Hinge Lock.
Continue to open the
cover by pushing the
cover back until it
rests flat on the table. The unit will stay in this
position until you lift the cover off the table and
return it to the closed position.
To insert cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler
™
to Open Position (see above)
with the Controls directly in front of you. Insert
one plate at a time. Pick up one of the plates
you intend to cook with and hold it with the
grease spout on the edge closest to you. Be
sure that the side of the plate with the cutouts
for the heating element is facing down. Locate
the metal brackets in the centre of the housing.
Tilt the back end of the plate and slide it under-
neath the brackets. Push down the front end of
the plate. It will snap into place. Insert the
matching grill or griddle cooking plate into the
upper housing as you did with the first plate.
Note: The plates are interchangeable and can
be inserted into either the top or bottom housing.
To remove cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler
™
to Flat Position (see above).
Locate the Plate Release Buttons on one side of
the unit. Press firmly
on one of the Plate
Release Buttons and
the plate at that end
of the unit 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.
Position drip cups:
When using the Griddler
™
as a Contact Grill
or Panini Press, only one drip cup is needed.
Place the cup
directly below the
grease spout
while cooking.
Grease from the
food will run off
the plates
through the
grease spout and into the drip cups. Grease
should be safely disposed of after cooking.
The drip cups can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
When using the Griddler
™
as an Open Grill or
Griddle, both drip cups should be used. Place
the cups
at either
end of
the unit
directly
below
the
grease
spouts.
Once the Griddler
™
is assembled properly, plug
the cord into a standard electrical outlet. You are
now ready to begin cooking.
