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.
