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
®
Grill & Panini Press is
in this position when it is used as a Full Grill.
1. To adjust the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini
Press to this
position, locate the
hinge release
button on the right
arm.

on the handle, use
your right hand to
push the hinge
release button.
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
®
Grill & Panini Press is already
in the open position and you wish to adjust
it to the flat position, pull the handle slightly
toward you and then press the hinge release
button. Push the handle back until the cover
rests in the flat position. Pulling the handle
forward slightly before pressing the hinge
release button will take some of the
pressure off the hinge and you will be able
to adjust the Griddler

Grill & Panini Press
more easily.
To insert cooking plates
Adjust the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press to
the flat position.
Insert one plate at a
time. Each plate is
designed to fit in
either the upper
housing or the lower
housing of the
Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press.
If you are facing the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini
Press, 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 Griddler
®
Grill &
Panini Press around and insert the second
plate into the upper housing as you did with
the first plate.
To remove cooking plates

®
Grill & Panini Press
has cooled, adjust
to the flat position.
Locate the plate
release buttons:
a. Lower plate
release button
located on right side of the base.
b. Upper plate release button located at
the front forward-facing top cover in
the center. Press firmly on button and
the plate will pop up slightly from the
base.
2. Grasp the plate
with two hands,
slide it out from
under the metal
brackets, and lift it
out of the base.
To position drip
tray
Slide the drip tray
into the front of the
base at the center
according to the
instruction on the
tray.
Grease from the food will run off the plates
through the grease spout and into the drip
tray. Grease should be safely disposed of
after the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press has
cooled down completely. The drip tray can
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
To adjust front feet
If grilling meats or
other food where
adequate grease
drainage is required,
raise the two front
feet located at the
underside of the grill
to engage tilt feature.
