OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Once the GriddlerJr. is assembled proper- ly, plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. You are now ready to begin cooking. When the temperature knob is turned on low, medium, or high the red indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on.

If you intend to use the GriddlerJr. as a contact grill, panini press or flat grill, turn the Grill/Panini control to the desired tem- perature for cooking. Settings range from Low (150°F) to High (450°F).

If you intend to use the GriddlerJr. as a flat grill, but you do not need the entire surface, it is recommended to use the bottom plate.

It may take up

to 6 minutes to reach oper- ating temper- ature,

depending on

the temperature level that was set. When the thermostat has reached operating tempera- ture, the green indicator light will indicate that the GriddlerJr. is ready for cooking. During operation, the light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal.

The temperature controls are used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking sur- face. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so depending on the types of foods on the cooking plate. Refer to the Cooked Food Temperature Chart on page 7 for recommendations.

Always exercise caution when handling the GriddlerJr. during cooking, as the housing will become hot during use. To open the GriddlerJr. 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

an oven mitt to

prevent burns.

The lower hous- ing is made of

plastic, and while it will

become very

warm it will not burn you. If you need to move the GriddlerJr. during cooking be sure to handle it from the base only. Do not touch the cover.

Allow the GriddlerJr. to cool down before handling (at least 30 minutes).

NOTE: The first time you use the GriddlerJr., it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appli- ances with nonstick surfaces.

The GriddlerJr. comes with a black clean- ing/scraping tool. This can be used for cleaning the grill plates after you have fin- ished cooking and the unit has cooled down completely (at least 30 minutes). Using the cleaning tool on a hot surface for too long will cause the plastic to melt.

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. This includes the pro- vided cleaning tool.

In between recipes, 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 GriddlerJr. to cool down com- pletely (at least 30 minutes) before clean- ing.
