Page 3

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1.Before using your Cuisinart® Griddler™ overstuffed sandwich maker for the first time, remove all protective paper and wrapping. Remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with

a damp cloth.

2.Preheat the sandwich maker. Close lid and plug cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The red light will go on to signal power. The green indicator light will go on when unit is ready to use.

Note: The first time you use your sandwich maker, it may have a slight odour and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.

Note: The cooking plates of this Cuisinart® Griddler™ overstuffed sandwich maker have been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the sandwich maker.

3.When the green indicator light goes on, place ingredients on bottom plate according to recipes. Close the lid and lock it.

4.It may take several seconds for the green light to go off. This is normal.

5.Once the food is ready to eat, the green light will come on again.

6.Remove food by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating.

7.Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once cooking is completed.
