Cooking on the Full Griddle is a wonderful
way to prepare breakfast for two or for a
small family. The large surface area allows
you to cook a variety of different foods at
the same time, or large amounts of your
favorite food.
Half Grill/Half Griddle
Use the Griddler
®
Compact as a Half Grill/
Half Griddle in order to create full meals like
bacon and eggs or steak and potatoes at
the same time.
When using the
Griddler
®
Compact
as a Half Grill/Half
Griddle, simply place
the unit in the flat
position and insert
one plate with the
grill side facing up
and another plate with the griddle side
facing up.
ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Place Griddler
®
Compact on a clean, flat
surface where you intend to cook. The
Griddler
®
Compact can be positioned in
three ways:
Closed Position –
Upper plate/cover
rests flat on lower
plate/base. This is
your starting and
heating position and
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
®
Compact as a Contact Grill or Panini Press.
To adjust the
Griddler
®
Compact
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 open position until
you lower the handle for cooking. When this
is done, the hinge will release itself so that
the upper plate 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
®
Compact after cooking, the
cover will remain in the flat position, parallel
to the lower plate. In order to lock the cover
back into the open position, you must close
the Griddler
®
Compact, 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
®
Compact is in this position when it
is used as a Full Grill, Full Griddle or Half
Grill/Half Griddle.
1. To adjust the
Griddler
®
Compact
to this position,
locate the hinge
release lever on
the right arm.
2. 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
®
Compact 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 lever will take some of the pressure
off the hinge and you will be able to adjust
the Griddler
®
Compact more easily.
