OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Once the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press is
assembled properly, plug the cord into a
standard electrical outlet. The red indicator
light will illuminate to indicate that the power
is on.
If you intend to use the Griddler
®
Grill &
Panini Press in the flat position, but you do
not need the entire surface, it is
recommended to use the bottom plate.
We recommend you preheat in the closed
position. It may take up to 8 minutes to reach
operating temperature. When the thermostat
has reached operating temperature, the
green indicator light will indicate that the
Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press is ready for
cooking. During operation, the
light will continue to turn on and off as the
thermostat regulates the temperature.
This is normal.
Always exercise caution when handling the
Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press during cooking,
as the housing will become hot during use. To
open the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press, grasp
the black plastic area of the handle. This part
of the handle stays cool to the touch while
cooking. The arms are made of die-cast
aluminum and will become hot during use. Do
not touch them during or immediately
following cooking.
The cover is made of stainless steel and will
become very hot and should not be touched
during or immediately following cooking. If
you need to adjust the cover, be sure to use
oven mitts to prevent burns.
The lower housing is made of plastic, and
while it will become very warm, it will not
burn you. If you need to move the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press during cooking, be sure
to handle it from the base only while wearing
oven mitts. Do not touch the cover.
Allow the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press to
cool down before handling (at least 30
minutes).
NOTE: The first time you use the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press, it may have a slight
odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal
and common to appliances with nonstick
surfaces.
USER MAINTENANCE
• Never use metal utensils, as they will
scratch the nonstick plates. Instead, use
only wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with
the hot grill plates.
• In between recipes, use a wooden or heat-
proof plastic utensil to scrape excess food
buildup through grease channels and into
drip cup, then wipe off any residue with a
paper towel before proceeding with next
recipe.
• Allow the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press to
cool down completely (at least 30 minutes)
before cleaning.
• Any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING
APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE IT IS
UNPLUGGED AND HAS COOLED
DOWN COMPLETELY.
Once you have finished cooking, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the
unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes
before handling.
Dispose of grease from the drip tray once
cooled. The drip tray can be cleaned by
hand or in the dishwasher.
Press the plate release buttons to remove
plates from the housing. Be sure that the
plates have cooled completely before
handling (at least 30 minutes). The cooking
plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do
not use metal objects such as knives or
forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring
pad for cleaning; the nonstick coating can
be damaged.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the
cooking plates with lemon juice to prevent
the seafood flavor from transferring to the
next recipe.
The housing base and cover can be wiped
clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains,
dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner or harsh pad.
